    M35a3 Soft top dye/paint?

    1953 M135 upgrade?

    Thanks for the input. The truck runs alright now but we are starting to look into options before it gets too expensive to maintain.

    1953 M135 upgrade?

    Would it possible to take the the cab and cargo area off of our 1953 M135 and put in a newer model- 1987 or 1993? An organization I belong to has the 1953 duece with a custom pain job and we would like to upgrade to something with less maintenance and a newer motor/air breaks etc to make...
