first Deuce and a half

[buckshotlane23]

waiting for delivery on my first duece. Its a 1950 m-135 if ive done my research right. With a 302?? 6 cyl. plans of bobbing down and running on road hopefully buying on a whim i've never even seen truck but always wanted one of these monsters. wish me luck!!

Get a 70's Deuce and bob it, much more plentiful, and not as rare as your 1950 M-135. Just my .

i also own a 1961 dodge d300 with a 6-lug pattern anyone know if these axles r the same as the 8-lug series, blew front diff and found another with same ratio but its an 8-lug pattern. wasn't sure if differential gears should b same or not.

This is a link to one of the few Gmc bobs I have seen http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/8340-m135-duece-half.html

was told it is a 1950 and it was purchsed by a new hampshire fire dept. in 1962 with 10,000 miles on it and a stack of maintenence records but i am still awaiting arrival as i have only seen pics and am taken the previous owners word on it. And after talking on here the truck will stay as original as possible and i will find a different project to "bob".

Another vote not to Bob it, but the decision ultimately is the owners.

You driven it yet?

 

[buckshotlane23]

never even seen, only pics.

You will love the truck ......Just make sure you read all the TMs here in the resource section and change the oil in the transmission . theres lots of debate on what oil to use ,the 30 weight motor oil the army used or atf .... You want to have fresh oil in it before you start driving it around .......Good luck .... Tim
