This is an amazing story of stubborness & stamina. This has been a great read.!! You have definately made my M135 Project look like a mouse! Talk about your 'Go Heavy or Go Home' attitude. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share this adventure. :grd: Jim

Greetings from Ontario; Becareful with this site and those who play here!!!!!!! This hobby is insanely addictive not to mention you get to meet and hang out with some first class people from all over!:twisted::-D

Sorry for the delay, found some time and good weather to get a couple photos of the data plates for the HIAB. Will start shopping and bugging fellow SS Members for parts and pieces soon. If anyone has M135 parts and components feel free to PM me with prices and availability. Thanks in advance...

Give me a shout with price and shipping to Woodstock, Ontario !!!!

BFR- There are plates, some pretty faded. On the lower rear corner of the driver's side is a plate attached to the cab as well. If the weather cooperates this weekend I will attempt to photograph them. Thanks for the replies and I will do my best to answer your PM's by Sunday evening as...

It's nice to see the Older Iron actually getting a chance to get dirty! Hat's off to you for letting it out to play! Jim

Hi Rob, I'm around the corner from the GTA heading West in Woodstock. About an hour and a half depending upon traffic, weather and Construction! Nice pieces you've assembled, a ton of work I imagine. It would seem Ontario has a couple out of the way military history treasure troves...

Hello gmm keswick; Went out to measure the bows that came with the M135 MRT, the bottom ends that side into the stake pockets on the bed (for lack of the correct term) were pretty chewed from age and moisture. My daughter helped measure then it began pouring rain so my photos didnt turn out...

Here are some great reference pics provided by Evilone. I'm leaning towards the camo style paint scheme as it is what I remember as a kid racing around in them.....if you can call 55 mph racing!

I figured it was time to jump into the MV game with both feet so here is my latest project. Thanks to WPNS421 I squirreled a 1952 M135 Maintenance Recovery Truck. Overall in pretty good condition to start off with. There are a couple pieces missing and/or require replacement. The first...

gmm keswick I should be able to get at it this weekend. I have a truck coming with some bows that I will remove, measure and photograph for you. I'll cross reference them with another truck as these ones have been exposed to the elements for a number of years. Jim

Nicely done. Was it by someone reasonably local?? Jim

Rather sizeable....hope they hold up and get the job done.

Great job. I also enjoyed your link to the website. Keep us posted as you continue your projects. Jim

X3 on the timely oil changes and regular maintenance schedule when dealing with stock engines/drivetrain. I have no real experience with hi-perf stuff but would certainly want to use the best available. Especially when an engine costs damn near as much as a house! :twisted: Interesting topic...

Very clean and professional looking. Nicely done.

Great Job!! Let us know how the rest of the project pans out. Take lots of pictures!!!!!!!

Nicely done! Time to start showing it off, collect a few bugs on the front! Jim
