Nice rig!

I was SO excited when it kicked off!

Thank you!

I can only dream of owning that store! The owner there is the man I bought the truck from. Super nice guy!

piratexpress1369a Here's a couple. Not the greatest quality!

There’s a walk-around video on my YouTube channel. Once I get her home, I’ll be able to put up a bunch of pics!

Earlier this week, I ran across this 1952 GMC M135 Deuce and a Half. Owner claimed it runs but the batteries were dead, so no way to confirm that it did. The city is about to impound the truck and fine the owner. I made an offer and he accepted it. I brought the batteries home & charged them...

It’s ALIVE!!! Brought the batteries home and charged them. She fired right off!!!

Maybe a tie-down for the canvas top?

I’m amazed at the overall shape of it. I’m going to look into the braces you’re talking about. There is an I beam support structure welded inside the bed where someone has mounted a tank. Maybe a grass fire rig. I’m wondering if maybe those braces add rigidity to the bed for a tank.

Funny thing! The original fuel tank is gone. Someone has rigged a tiny little 5 gallon or so gas tank in the bed with an electric fuel pump. There’s also a brand new carb on the motor. The fuel in the tank is around 2 yrs old My first big job will be to take out that fuel tank, pump and gas...

Thanks! I’m planning to take a trailer over and hauling it home (30 miles) rather than risk tearing something up.

You know, I hadn’t even thought about New Boston for tires! That’s an easy two hour drive from me. I thought the number was pretty cool too.

Same here! I really like the rounded hood on these trucks!
