Ahhh I think I have been looking at too many Jeeps, it is 5.43 I will correct above! Only one shop has them it seems...I sold a truck to buy them. :-( And yes so similar and I would have left the VE pump on mine if I had bought my 92 D250 earlier, it makes enough power for the project...I guess...

Thanks Merle I have been collecting parts for a LONG time! Your car was built for one thing SPEED!!!!!! Beautiful car that one is! I got really lucky yesterday and got a companion flange spicer discontinued 4 years ago and the driveline shops I contacted couldn't get it...

I wanted to start brainstorming on my M135 project. The long story is https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170096-Houston-we-have-problems-the-M135-came-home&highlight= The short story is the parts truck is in way better shape than the project truck a Guido-fied (an Italian Bubba) 1943...

I think I read somewhere it was generic Uncle Sam and sized too SMALL for M135 but just right for M37/Jeep

Is that like the samurais used to suspend their katanas above their mats when they sleep by a thin strand of silk? Isn't there a guy who moved a C45 recently with a WW2 Federal wrecker on here (or g503.com) that will sell you the missing pieces to the rest of the C45? Sorry couldn't help myself!

Looks Great!

Welcome to the club, I have found that the parts are out there you have to look alittle harder than if they were M35s....but a dang sight easier and cheaper than the parts for my COE in my signature. On another note alot "assories" like bumperettes can come from M35s (the bolt holes line up...

On my calender Thanks!

Some pics did not attach right....too exciting maybe? Best pic award goes to Soo Cool!

Can't wait for the brush retrieval story with pics and the air show pics. History/Cultural lesson.... Had a neighbor (whom I have never met....happening alot with the M135 in the driveway!) stop and ask me if it was a McCarthur or an Eisenhower. I did not understand I told him. He proceeded to...

Very Cool thing to do!

Thanks Guys, I was grasping at straws, hoping it was like the stars on the doors of the CCKWs with the number of points denoting its duty station.

While cruising craigslist for parts for my M135 I ran across this M35 with the same marking on the door. Any ideas? or was it truck 8 at one time, though my truck was number 28 at its last posting..Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for the write-up. I have been planning to do this conversion for awhile...have had the steering head for a year now!

This could be a seal stickie! Good info! Also like the change to the signature! On my 1943 it took alot of deductive reasoning to get at a 95% certainty of its posting, history and final posting ...it helps that there were very few radar training schools in WW2! I am hoping to find the first...

THANKS!!!!! That's what I needed!!!! Even taking into consideration that 19,090 wasn't the last one off the line in may doing the math 19,090/5 = 3818 (a month) x2 = 7,636 thus I will be stamping in 2/52!

Which Data plate do you have? Which Data plate do you have? Got a question for you USMC what are the production dates on these 2: 1952 M135 W/W #5314 - Reg. #4G3868 1952 M135 W/O #4984 - Reg. #41143??? Do you have the order number? And do you know why reg number on truck 5314 starts with 4G...

Thanks I was wanting the vin data plate size, so I could make my own, but I found a blank M135 one and it is in the mail! I could use a clear scan of page 47 of one of the TM which has the same picture as your first picture of the dash. I have read a few places where you mention Leavy(sp)...

M135 w/winch 6689 USA 41144752 engine number T0219 I think early 1952

Found a data plate!.....actually 2, one aluminum and one brass, M135 w/winch which this one had. Bought both! Is there anywhere that I can get the order number via the issued number? Lots of places for WW2 trucks how about ours? Thanks!
