M135 or M211 bob-job's? Anyone?

[Speedy]

here's another 'shop job that is more like what I'm going after.

these trucks are easyer for me to find here.
and I love that picture!!! I would like to do the same!
I thought the M35 was a nicer looking truck but this is great!

so when are you going to start

I just made a deal on the truck and as soon as I can get a wrench on it, I'll start. I have a set of 14.00 x 20 XL's with rims that I want to run on it as well as another j code 6.2. I've heard good things from this engine swap so this is the route I'd like to take. The 302 has a cracked block so it has to go, plus, I want a diesel anyway.

A friend of mine offered the ram and hydrallics from a dump trailer, so I'd like to install that too. We'll see how it goes...

Just checking to see If you have started yet. Wanting to see the donor truck.

Here's the truck as she sits. A Canadian '55 M135. The truck runs, however, the block is cracked.

There is a truck around here that has been cut up. It is an M135 with an M105 bed, I see it on occasion at truck night on fridays, if I see it this weekend I will take lots of pics and post up.

Found this pic of an M135 with An M35 hardtop with no stack. May be why he's stuck.

By the look of the leaves in the back he may've been stuck there awhile too.

This project is on hold for now until I get more space. (aka: when wife lets me). Found a Detroit Diesel 871 blower with the original intake that I'd like to make work on the 6.2. I'll have to fab the blower intake considering 6.2 blower intakes are made from unobtainium.

Oh, a snorkel and a stack apparently would be in the plans too.

If you are looking for pictures / ideas, Clinto posted a couple pics of a bobbed M220 in post 4 of this thread...

I'm not much of a "bobber lover", but these old ones look pretty cool!
