Looks like we are close. Here is the distance between the racks. Here is the length of the headboard that I am going to cut to size. I paid right at around $11 for the kit. I think it will come with everything you need but maybe this picture of the kit will help you decide. I used a...

Great pictures! I like that painting with the red poppies. Just had to flaunt that hard top in the last photo didn't you. :-)

Both of the side racks are installed now and I am moving on to the headboard. This is off of an M35 and is of course too wide for the M135 bed. I do not have access to a good M135 headboard that will allow me to get accurate measurements from so that I can modify this one. If not too...

I got one side of the troop seats done. All I had to do was cut a little bit off the three middle stakes and seat legs. They were cut to the same dimensions as the original M135 pieces. I really like how it turned out.

If work schedule allows, I will be there.

Use it to your advantage however you need to. My wife does get a little annoyed with my "investments" from time to time. She on the other hand wants a CCKW or a WW2 Jeep. As soon as I can make one of those happen for her, I will. As soon as I get everything off of my parts trucks that I need...

m1010plowboy is right, this stuff is lurking around in barns waiting to be found. Ended up with these today. The intake/exhaust manifold looks good with no visible cracks. The carburetors should be good rebuildable cores.

I ended up with a fiberglass troop seat set, and a metal bow set . The seats and headboard are out of a M35 and the bows out of a 5 ton. Some of the purists may hate me, but I want to use these so I don't have to worry about wood deteriorating. Three of the stakes on each side and the seat legs...

Looks better now that you can see the whole thing. Post some more pictures please.

Holes All of mine looked that way too. I put some gasket maker around that area but not enough to get into the wheel bearings. Not sure it if will help, but that is what I did.

I like your thinking! Welcome to the forum!

Timken wheel bearings added.

I just finished doing all the brakes on my M135 yesterday. None of my bearings were dry like that, but they were sure soaked in gear oil. Looks to me like all your grease is on the oil shield. I also did not have any of those seal springs come out or have to pull hard to get the hubs off. I did...

My brakes are finally done and working great!!!! This thing stops on a dime! I checked all of my differentials and I am sure I had them too full. I pumped them down to where the oil is about 1 inch below the bottom edge of the fill hole. Hopefully this will solve my gear oil leaks.

Front inner axle seals added.

What color did you use on your bridge plate? Everything is looking real good!

That is what I was looking for. Thanks!!! This leaking stuff is becoming a challenge. Fix one thing and then the next starts leaking. I'm not ready to rebuild the knuckles yet so I will see what happens. The passenger side is just fine. It is very possible I overfilled the differential last...

My rear brakes are done and ready to go. Since I had to replace all of the wheel cylinders back there, I decided to change out the front with new ones as well so everything is the same. My front brakes were done back in November complete with new hub seals, wheel bearings cleaned, packed etc...

CARNAC...I wanted to ask again if you may know what some more numbers mean. This is off of one of my M135's that I am going to restore. The pictures may not show the numbers very clear but this is what it says. Hood - 41143??? Driver Side Front Bumper- HQ-47 Passenger Side Front Bumper 2-...

I have been out of town and was able to stop by and look at the first M135 I owned. I still own it, but have not shipped it out where I currently live yet. I have owned it for about 10 years now, but have never taken much time for it or even looked through it. Hopefully that will change later...
