That is a G742 (REO) truck
It is not a g749 (GMC m135, m211, etc) truck

Maybe the pictures below will make it clearer. The M135 is the old slope nosed GMC type deuce, which yours is not.
An M185A3 is an M35 style deuce with a box on the back rather than a cargo bed.
If you took the box off an M185 and put a cargo bed on, you would basically have an M35.
Clear as mud??
Cheers

Perfect. yea i believe it had a box on it at one point and time. i think the guy i bought it off bought a lot of them because hes got close to 8 trucks and another 3 or 4 boxes. when i picked out my truck i opted for the bed because i load my jeep into it. mabey if i can get my hands on a boom truck i can get a box too and switch them out when needed. or just another truck
