This body was built around 58 or 59 if I recall correctly. I'll have to get more photos of it all. It also has the electric brake rheostat on the steering column.
An interesting truck, but not of any interest to me, other than to rob it for parts. Unfortunately, I am starting to recognise my mortality, and have been dragging this stuff home faster than I can restore it. The justification of "last one" is starting to wear thin.

Rob, do you know that Hobean from Demaine, Sask? He had truck loads of rebuilt assemblies for those trucks. Trannies, rear ends, winches, etc)

I think they call him Shorty.
They didn't auction off any of the parts and I think they're still there.

Well, the M135 drove out of the shop today, went once around the yard to get the motor to operating temp, and then back in for the head gasket retorque, re-adjustment of the valves, and setting up the timing. It is really starting to sound good. I am especially thankful the transmission works.
I have a few last minute things to do tomorrow to it (I need to get the in-tank fuel pump working), then another quick drive around the yard and she goes into the lineup until the spring. It's too big to fit into my shop, so the brake job will wait for warmer weather. It is going to be a nice truck once the sandblaster and spray guns get at her.
