David,
Since you are wise and mighty!!
Is the M211 a 2.5 ton ?
What about a M135 ?
I found a truck similar to a M211 with no data plates
looking like a M211 and had M135....with some spaces and then
12302. I was asumming that it was a M135, might I be correct ?
Could you give me some pros and cons on that truck while you are at it
!!!!!!
By the way, if that is a M135, is it suposed to have dual wheels on the back
to axles ??
Thanks very much for your help !!
Phill
