    I can only dream of owning that store! The owner there is the man I bought the truck from. Super nice guy!

    There’s a walk-around video on my YouTube channel. Once I get her home, I’ll be able to put up a bunch of pics!

    My 1952 GMC M135 Deuce - First start!

    Earlier this week, I ran across this 1952 GMC M135 Deuce and a Half. Owner claimed it runs but the batteries were dead, so no way to confirm that it did. The city is about to impound the truck and fine the owner. I made an offer and he accepted it. I brought the batteries home & charged them...

    I’m amazed at the overall shape of it. I’m going to look into the braces you’re talking about. There is an I beam support structure welded inside the bed where someone has mounted a tank. Maybe a grass fire rig. I’m wondering if maybe those braces add rigidity to the bed for a tank.

    Funny thing! The original fuel tank is gone. Someone has rigged a tiny little 5 gallon or so gas tank in the bed with an electric fuel pump. There’s also a brand new carb on the motor. The fuel in the tank is around 2 yrs old My first big job will be to take out that fuel tank, pump and gas...

    Thanks! I’m planning to take a trailer over and hauling it home (30 miles) rather than risk tearing something up.

    You know, I hadn’t even thought about New Boston for tires! That’s an easy two hour drive from me. I thought the number was pretty cool too.

    It does still have data plates but they aren’t in the best condition. Once I get it home I’m planning to spend some time cleaning the data plates while being careful not to damage them.

    Hi everybody. JP here. Thanks for accepting me as a member. Long time admirer of M35s and M135s. Ran across one yesterday that I couldn’t pass up. Batteries were dead, unable to jump start it. Owner assured me it runs and drives and that the winch works. Should be able to get it home in a day or...
