I know it has been a while since I updated the pictures but have been busy. The truck had a setback when it all of a suden started to over heat with the newly aquired NOS rad that he purchased from a local club member. He pulled the head thinking that it was a head gasket only to find out doing...
A very nice kit, how much was it $$$. Just a little off the topic but why do some of the dueces have the driver side fender that are wider going into the engine compartment and some don't??? is it due to the truck made by a different manufacture??
I, installed the probe in that spot because that is where the instructions for the pyrometer said to install it. When I had the manifold off I drilled and tapped it just in case I install one there later. For my next big project after I finnish off with the M135 restoration that I have been...
The post pyro seems to work just fine so far and I used an autometer guage. The exhaust manifold and turbo I sand blasted and painted it with the POR15 high heat paint and has a couple hundred miles on it since it was installed and looks just like the picture, great stuff. The wheels and tires I...
I am just saying thanks to this great site and the members that contribute to it. I had to do some work on my M35A2 (first one I have ever owned) and this site made a huge savings of time and head scratching. I had to replace both front knuckle boots, Head gaskets, turned up the pump a little...
Well it can now drive under its own power and just about done except for the hood and some of the interior and installing the new glass for the front and sides. If all goes good it might be on the road by this friday.

Thanks for the comments. This is where we are at as of 3 weeks worth of work and I hope to have the fenders and hood painted in the next week so we can start assembly of the truck.
I thought I would post some pictures of a M135 I am helping to restore for a club member here in Alberta. The truck was a good runner to begin with but a simple clean up and paint snowballed into a complete taredown.
I installed a 265 crank and rods into my 251 block when I rebuilt it and ballanced the rotating assembly. I installed the 489 gears with the 11:00 tires and the M37 will do 60 MPH easy all day long and I average 12 MPG on the highway.
I am still looking for the factory heater for my 135 as well. I have been searching for some time now and found a few of the parts but need the heater, hood scoop, and the controll cables to compleat the kit and if any one has one or contacts I would apreciate a pm. I thought they would be easy...
