Does anybody out there know the exact dimensions of the canvas on the M135 and M211. I have a local canvas guy here that can make OD green duck canvas cheep, but he needs the exact dimestions, grummet hole position, and anything else that would help. If I can get this info to him and get some...
I was told awhile ago that the boxes, bows, canvas on the earlier M211 trucks is exactly the same as the M35 series with the exception of the cab? I am looking into having a local canvas shop do the canvas for the cargo area because of the insane price of canvas from other companies and...
j land,
Both would be awesome. Some pics would really help me out so I can see what is written on the truck and where at. The only measurements I would probably need is how tall the letters on the truck are in various places and how big the stars are. Thanks in advance, it really helps to...
Does anybody know exactly how many, type, size, location,etc. of markings that are needed for an m211 or m135 deuce. I contacted rick larson about them and they are pretty spendy and i'm still not sure what size the hood numbers should be 2"or 3". What kind of front and rear bumper markings...

Was just curious what everybody is using with their sandblasters? I have been using plain old sifted beach sand, but is that a good idea? What type of sandblasters are you guys using? What is best for getting off rust, but not pitting the metal too badly. Could also use some good blasting...
Thanks for the help guys. I know that 24087 is the correct color from what i've heard, but RAPCO also lists 23070 as Late WWII Semi-gloss OD for vehicles from late WWII to early and mid 1950's? When I look at my seats and other parts, they do not look that brown to me but more green. Does...
Ok, I could also use some help with picking out my paint. I'm 20 and own an M-135 and an M-211 deuce and a half. What I can't figure out is the correct color and a good kind of paint. My m135 is 1951 with data plate number 082, my m211 is 1954 with plate number 32xxx. What is the correct...
