    Crying shame!!! The reason for the sale, the owner had passed away and those handling his estate had to dispose of all assets. They were HAPPY to get $200.00 for the truck, because they had thought it would have to go out as scrap because who would want a thing like that!!!!!!!

    Man, that looks sweet! All there, and very straight looking. As for the American reg #'s, that's a mystery. The door number is Canadian, because my very first M135 had a 84 something on it, so that looks authentic, but maybe the reg number is not "real"? Does it match any numbers in the truck...

    No, they are aluminum, and the name Zolnner (?) is cast into them. That's what's in my M211 engine.
