Figured I should start a thread about my first deuce, turns out it's not normal... An oddball if you will.
Back story: I'm a sub contractor for a rather prominent local exterior business. My work takes me to the end of many small country roads, it was one one such road that I came across a 1954 m135. I have wanted one for a few years now so I offered the owner $1,000 after a counter offer we settled in $1,250. Now I just need a place to work on it, but I should have that nailed down pretty soon. The owner said he drove it to his property and left it there, that was in '92 (the year I was born). I imagine I will have to redo a lot of the seals and gaskets that's probably going to lead to a full bore rebuild.
The Plan: ultimately I want to get it running and looking like it did when it was delivered from the factory. The shop van part will be turned into a camper for the ultimate hunting/bush party wagon.
"Shush tigger show us the pictures"
ok here's the pictures everyone wants. Sorry if some are upside down. (More to come in a week or so)
