    What are your plans for the truck? Will you try to put it back to original M135 configuration or leave it a dump truck?

    Thank you for checking Merle. I'm sorry to hear things have been so rough. I'm glad Jodi is doing better. I'll call you soon so we can catch up. Thank you Dave. I will send this info to Decal Dave and see if he can get this duplicated. I'm very close to needing the decal or stencil. On the...

    1965 FS595A 24087 = FS595B 24084 = paint composition

    I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but i found that there were several different colors of 24087 over the years. Some were more brown and others were more green. I searched a lot for the more green color that I liked the best and this was the best match to the look I wanted. It...

    GMC m135 rebuild

    Here they are registered by the VIN stamped on the data plate. One of my trucks had the same VIN is a boat motor in this state, so we made the VIN GMCXXXX.

    GMC m135 rebuild

    Your VIN should be the number stamped on your data plate as NDT said. It is also stamped on the frame by the passenger side front wheel in front of the shock absorber. Hopefully it matches the plate in the cab.

    Welcome to the site! Looks like you aren't too far away from me. I bought the truck in my avatar in Wichita and drove it the 170+ miles home. That was a fun trip. Are you trying to get the hub off or are you trying to get the wheel to turn because the brakes are locked? If you are trying to get...

    I think I have the same kind of metal bows you are using. What length did you cut them to? Mine are still too long.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I'm at the point where I need stencils or decals for my gauges. Dave at Delta Team Decals might be able to make them. Does anyone of you have a gauge panel that has all of these markings still on it? None of my trucks have markings left for me to be able to measure. Here is what the email from...
