The "easy" way to get M135 wheels

[FSBruva]

So... found an old M135 in the bushes, and decided to use its: wheels, lugnuts and rearview mirror for converting my M35A2 into an M34A2.

Paid the guy, and the rest is pictoral history... enjoy!

PS.... Anyone who needs anything from this truck, it ran well enough to be driven on and off the trailer - let me know, and I will save the pieces you need/want from the chipper.

Hey Matt,

Is the tranny still useable? Also might need the air tank.

 

[FSBruva]

CT... dunno. I am guessing it's 88 inches. Maybe if Dave P gets the notion he can measure it for me.....

lacoda - sent you a PM

Does it have a pto on it? Is that a hard top too? ( Hard to tell on my computer- screens goin out i think)

 

[FSBruva]

Crazy_matt-

Not sure on the PTO... I think it still has it, even though the winch is long gone. It has a hard top, but it is not the mil-spec one. Its kinda hard to tell what's original and what's fabbed, but there are several tack welds in places there shouldn't be.

How wide is the bed?

bed is 88" wide.

Thanks!
The width of the pipeline truck bed is only 85 inches, not counting the gin pole rests and roller. Bed sides would hang over some, possibly for a total width of 88 also. Looks okay IMHO with singles.
Note the M135 wheels.

Overload

A deuce looks mighty big behind a 1 ton. I hauled this 67 Kaiser 200 miles

my truck is a 01 F250 with a squeez bang for power. its hauled several things that out weigh it by alot. it pulled FSBruva's 135 with no trouble at all. might need to add a third axel to the gooseneck someday.
