    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.

    Any luck getting that drum loose?

    GMC m135 rebuild

    Very neat. It's even got the hard to find hard top.

    GMC m135 rebuild

    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...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I ran across this while looking up the Lube Order. I'm not sure that there ever was a revision to TM 9-8024 that reflected the change in checking the transmission fluid after the neutral safety lock was installed. I also wonder if this is even the best way to check it. It is definitely more...

    M220 winch

    I can't find any reference to the M220 having a winch in any of the TMs. There are some pictures on Google of a winch on an M220, but they are newer photos. If you put the winch on your M220, I doubt anyone would say anything about it being incorrect. Is that your truck in your avatar? If so...

    An engine rebuild "how to" video on one of these would be neat, if you have time to do it.

    Crimping Tool

    The one in CARNAC's picture is a Douglas crimp tool. Another option is the Ideal/Buchanan C-24. Home Depot sells those new. They can also be found on ebay for reasonable prices.

    Dang. We put over 120 miles on it like that in May! I'm surprised the truck did so well. Just realized we forgot to post pictures of all that!!! :shock:

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    The old gaskets were a mess so I brought the flange in for him to measure. Should we start a thread where we can upload gasket templates?

    An engineer friend at work drew it up for me.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Here is a gasket template for where the air cleaner mounts to the firewall. It appears to be made out of 1/8 inch rubber. Two are needed.
