I have an idea......
Quick synopsis of my project then my idea which some of you have guessed by now.
Bought a 1943 Chevrolet G-7123 cabover 4x4 (the one in my avatar) running and stopping with unlimited indoor storage. This became locked up engine and brakes and get it out yesterday. So...
Can't wait....
Well I'm not quite the purist, so I am watching! In case you don't know Eaton has everything from parts to service manuals online....a real bonus to a great trans!
You have a GREAT and informative site, I had found it awhile ago when was trying to get the 60L axles for my project, which was like the sound of crickets, at least with the M135 axles its wolves in the distance. I know they are out there...
was Can I get 4 measurements now M135/211 hybrid
Ok OK I know it is dangerous when I start thinking, but something is brewing in my head.
Can I get either a TM side drawing with dimensions or at least the following
1) front of bumper to front wheel centerline
2)front wheel centerline to cab...
Plowboy,
I am soo jealous of your OD Green Iron magnet
And I can't find a set of M135 axles nearby, you walk 100-200 feet into the woods and stumble across another complete G749.........some guys have all the luck! LOL!!!!
Thanks Porky,
The NSN usually turns up a wealth of information, regrettably this one only comes up with the manufacturer.
NSN number is 4130-01-533-2456, p/ns are 12489300 CA23137400
Suprman, noticed you listed a whole kit, I didn't see it when I got the 2 cylinders. Might have to pick...
HiYa Guys,
I have purchased a M1078 LMTV cab lift hydraulic cylinder and am in the planing stage of implementing it after I finish the crewcab conversion of the vehicle in my avatar and would like to know the following (the next time you have your cab lifted):
1) What its extended length is...

I started my re-education on the M135/M211 axles and ran across a sad graveyard in South Sioux City, NE they have 6 M211/M135 trucks they are parting out, most have hard tops some winches. The web pages say for parts only not to be sold complete :(.
C & H Truck parts 567 Old Highway 20 West...
Need M135 axles
They moved my thread about wanting to buy M135 axles, oh well....

The setup I had run was dually hubs up front and a Dana 70 HD3 (Chevy dually) rear with the hummer wheels, a little triming but had the right track. don't like spacers, but if you have to run them try and find the steel ones.
Thanks for the encouragement! I think this is the best forum for it. As it was too far gone to restore, but to special (hahah)/different to be just a parts truck. As such I am going to make it safe enough for my wife to drive on the freeways here in Los Angeles, but still to the untrained O.D...
I thought I'd share what I am working on, not quite an M135/211, but alot of parts/tech interchange, plus when I get hubs I think some here would like to help me execute a disc brake conversion <total spoiler...BWAHAHAHHAAAH!!!> Check it out http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=267606...
I would vote for the 47RE if an Allison is out of the picture. There is an aftermarket stronger replacement frame piece for the steering box it is an online shop that deals mainly with blazers, it has been a while since I saw it. Also is suggested to sleeve the mounting bolts (it takes some of...
Thank You so much for your offer, I haven't located the hubs and drums yet, but It seems our resident m135/211 diviner (think the people with 2 sticks finding pipes and water) can find OD steel thousands of miles away. Thank you Google "Big Brother"
