I think Memphis added the double frame. See it's bolted on? Factory would be rivets. See if Memphis still has those data plates, very important to operate the REB correctly or you will damage the transfer case.

It tells you that your truck started life exactly like the data plate says, a 1950 M34. Single rear wheels, 11.00-20 tires, and cargo bed with wheel wells. See the new snip i took of the serial number database, the lowest s/n of a M35 truck is 100422 for a 1952 truck, yours is 94926 which...

My 2 cents: This truck was set up by Memphis Equipment in the 1960's for a construction company to do some hard off highway work. The back of the frame angle cut indicates it had a dump bed. This truck would be a huge effort to build back as an original M34 mainly due to the frame issues...

I have never seen a deuce with a double frame like that. The "REB kit" was a way to manually control the automatic engagement of the front axle. That is one of the levers sticking up through the floor. The instruction data plate for the kit with 136 on it also mentions "Eager Beaver" which...

Yes the transmission is for a 2 1/2 ton truck. I don't think the air compressor is, it looks WWII. The tag with 136 on it indicates a Memphis Equipment REB transfer shift kit has been installed. Where does the double frame start and end? On a M34 or M35, only the trapezoidal plate over...

Ruh ro, I just reread your post and noticed the two asterisks, meaning two additional digits, the early gas truck serial numbers never had that many digits. You will need to find the frame serial number and report back for a revisit.

Your SN sounds correct, see snip from the VIN database. This is from the M35 without winch file. Year model sounds more like 1953.
