    M135 Transfer case 2spd conversion

    I have changed the g749 transfer to two speed several times. You need to purchase the large diameter low gear out of a g508 banjo transfer. The top sliding gear must be narrowed to 1 7/16 inch so you can neutral. Transfer case must be modified slightly for large replacement gear to fit. I have...

    Calling all bobbed experts

    The rear hubs can be flipped but you have to have a different brake dum adaptor,like the ones on the front axel. Much eaiser to put hubs and drums off 135 axels. Ihave messed wilth m211s and m35s for years. I have used a gmc pretty hard. They are a toughfer truck than the m35. gmcs have stronger...

    1952 M135 Converted to standard shift.....

    I have converted several gmc's to standard transmissions both four and five speeds. To make a good truck out of them you should convert the transfer case to two speed . I have one truck with this combination with a three hundred horse power chevy v8. Truck groses 36000 pounds. Have never broken...

    Zenith Carb Swap

    Put a 327 or 350 chevy carburetor on your gas m35 and it will run great. They work well on the GMC M series also.

    M135 single wheels, flipping the hub, dish in or out...options?

    In regard to flipping the hubs on a GMC m series. This truck is much more difficult to switch than a m35 or A2. The GMC requires different brake drum adapters the m35 does not. You have to have brake drum adapters like on the front of a GMC to switch the single hub 135s to dual hubs. Also a lot...

    M135 single wheels, flipping the hub, dish in or out...options?

    Chamfer the other side of the wheel bolt holes on the 1100 single rims and put them on dished out. If you mount them that way on an m135 hub it will be too wide. Just right on a m 211 hubs

    M37 / propane ???

    Put a 6 cylinder chevy rochester carburetor from the mid 1950s on your m37 and you won't believe the difference. They start and run better with more power and no flooding over. Can't remember due to years back if you use one off a 216 or 235 cubic inch engine. The bolt holes are futher apart on...
