I will check my master cylinder for it's bore size. I have a M135 but I think they are the same system except M35A2/3 have a baffle valve for return pressure. I have been looking at most of the brake mod threads. My thought on all of this, since I am also interested, is this. Why not use a dual...

Although I will probably never get to an SS rally... It would be totally awesome to see you show up with your crew cab M135 pulling your hot rod on a 16 foot trailer!!! If I were there, at a rally, I would be the biggest pest with never ending questions for you! LoL. Looking forward to your next...

Any details on the build? How much did you chop the top? Did you channel the body? How deep is the drop in the fram for the cab? How short is the total vehicle length. My tape measure says it is 3 5/8's inches long in length. Details man!!!

Jerseyhick! That is better than viagra!!! That is one awesome MV Rat Rod!! I have dreamed of something similiar in the carcass of my rig in which the cab is in the weeds, yet the axles (bobbed) are in their proper location not ahead of the grill. Big 53 inch 1600 tires so the tops sit above the...

Been done up here in the wild north. Not a newer truck but still looks good. It is also for sale. I believe the guy is asking 16 grand for it.

Contemplating a suburban build! Ever have one of those holy **** moments?! Well the wife and I got one last night! I just had a minor surgery to eliminate having kids anymore. Well looks as though the last time before the surgery we got lucky! Yup pregnant!! Sooooo.... Now that we are going to...

Morning! Yes the M135 is singled in the rear. I picked up the rims since I am going to be bobbing my rig. My M135 has on rim with the stud holes mangled due to someone previously not ensuring they were tight before driving. I also have another rim that I am pretty sure is warped. While cleaning...

Well not much exciting to add. Just finished cleaning up the mirror arms from the truck and giving them a nice thick coat of black rustoleum. I think they look pretty slick. Mile better than previously with a fine dusting of rust and chipping paint. Gonna put my new west coast mirrors with built...

I am sure I could find a use for the tank. The old man won't tell me who else is interested in the truck so I could inquire about the half off deal! LoL! The old man just kept telling me he will only sell the truck as a whole and not for parts. Since the truck has sat so long as to sink in the...

Well after many days of soaking my master cylinders guts with WD-40 I finally got them to come out of the assembly.Everything looked dismale with the amount of brown chunky sludge that was coating everything.However once I started to clean everything with soap and water, I was pleasantly...

Good eye M1010plowboy! I forgot to mention that the generator and aircompressor were missing from the truck. Yes it has a front drive shaft!! I asked if I could just buy parts off of it but the old man said its all or nothing.The rear springs were pretty much flat. Looks like the truck was well...

Well hope the pics show up.Went to look at that M135,which is what it turned out to be, today.The sheet metal looks great, aside from the covering some BC lichen and moss is places.The interior has a nice coating of bird droppings and rat scat. However all the gauges seem to be there.I didn't...

Hope all went well!! Glad to see another jimmy getting saved, even if it is just for a parts truck. For every one truck dismantled for parts, not melted into tin cans, means another one gets to stay on the road longer from the salvaged parts! Looking forward to your write up on the haul and pics...

God life really loves to rub it in your face when you are in the worst financial point of ones life. A M135 or M211 that I have been watching for the longest time and have talked to the people that rent the land about it, left notes for the owners and such, is finally up for sale! The owner...

Gunfreak, Would you happen to, or anyone else, know how to take a master cylinder apart? I have tried to take mine apart to see if it is pitted and need a rebuild but I can only get as far as removing the rod and the line bolts. I cannot figure out how to remove the cone to get at the...

That's a tough call. If the owner doesn't want to go any lower than scrap value then the major decision is yours. I am not even really sure what scrap value would be but if it is around the 500 buck range and it were me, I would get it. To me you have to look at the fact that parts for these...

I would be all over it if it were closer to me. There are a couple that are 4 to 5 hours away that are pretty much just a step from being garbage and they are listed for 3500. That is a non running, rusted out, no glass,no motor (usually) shell. If you can get it all the running truck and those...

Well looks like life just loves to keep kickin me in the keester! Looks like I am getting cut down on my hours at the lumber mill after I helped them build their new expansion to increase their production. I have worked 4 days in the last 4 weeks!! I have been searching high and low for new...

Welcome hambone!! Nice to see another snub nose jimmy going to be running around. You are a frew steps ahead of the game with your rig since she runs and has a good tranny. Hope you enjoy working on these trucks as much as most of us do! Just remember if you are going to bang your head against...

That paint looks great but I am not to worried about it just yet. The half track carcass is located about half hour south of me on the south side( kamloops side ) of a small town called Barierre. I am not sure if the old man is still there or not. He usually goes state side in the winter. I bet...
