hi there!
Just wanted to say how awesome this site is and how much info is here and exchanged! I've been looking around on here for over a year and figured its not very nice to keep my pics and knowledge (if any) to myself. i currently have two m211's and two m135's. i will hopefully try to get some pics on here later today or tomorrow along with their stories. I may have questions on how to get the pics on here but ill giver a try! (sorry, my first post)

Welcome to the site!
Since you have been lurking in the shadows for a sometime you are most likely already aware of the great people here willing to help with knowledge or if your lucky to be close to someone a hand!
I am sure you probably have them but the TM's are available at Jatonka.com
Again welcome!

hey guys. ended up not having any pic of the trucks so i went and took some fresh ones!
The two m211s are the one with the mixer on it and the sad one in the trees. and the one m135 has a hoist and was used as a dumper and the other m135 is the best one of the bunch and is the project I'v been working on. 5.9 cummins with a five speed!

Nice looking trucks!!
I like the 5.9L!! I am trying to do the same to mine. Could you post picks of your motor mounts and such!
Did you cut out the fire wall to fit the motor and rad?
I would LOVE to hear how the motor tranny was swapped and modifications made!!
And as always pics pics pics!!!

ill try and get you some pics of the mounts by next weekend. i was able to use the factory motor mounts on the truck frame and made the piece that bolts to the engine block. i was going to use the stock mounts from the dodge pickup and fabricate the piece on the frame but i figured it was easiest to do it this way. I just went to the local parts store and got the rubber mounts that were only like $1.85 each. I thought id try them and see if they'd last. I didn't need to cut the firewall, I left about an inch there. I'm sure there is enough room for the electric fans yet. the only place it got tight was where the battery tray and the fuel filter housing meet. ill have to just trim a bit there. That's about as far as i am with the engine. Ill try for more pics soon!
