Only axle and grille GMC.

[MChapin]

well, it looks like a M-135/M-211 cab to me.

[Marty, SoCal]

It's better to use those parts that way than have those parts going to the scrapper in China!

[Joe Gopan]

It's got character. Nice machine to take Mama and the pup out for an ice cream in.

Something must've happened to me at some point in time, I don't know, I USED to like some type of modification to an M.V. but this one has me shaking my head.
I guess the purists and washer n@zi's have broken through my thick skull 'cause.......d@mn !!! Oh well, it's his toy, he can wreck it any way he wants.

[MChapin]

The m-135 is one of my favorite trucks. But it only brings scrap price if you try to sell it. I look at this hotrod as value added.

[motto]

Whilst appreciating the work and skill that went into the creation of such a vehicle I can't get over the yuk factor and agree whole heartedly with Sgt. Hancock.
I wouldn't give it yard space.

"Interesting".......It does not seem that there is much of a market for M135/211's so from that perspective I suppose it is an okay adaptive reuse of good military iron. Personally I trend more to the washer Nazi breed so to me it is unsettling, but everyone has their own filter of good and bad. How does that sucker steer, and what is the deal with the front suspension? Are the headlight buckets hard mounted onto the front axle? One can only guess how this vehicle handles. Do you all remember the "Mad Max" movies? This vehicle deserves a bit part in a future series.

[Tonywan Kanobby]

What a trip !! I think it's cool as all get out.

Certainly it gives more than a nod to historical military vehicles. Maybe it'll act as sort of a bridge to the "pursuit" for a younger set.

Definitely some wild "hot rod" art.

[W. Winget]

Hows the front axle even powered? Driveshaft off the Fan pulley?
Raised a foot or so off the ground I could see it as a fun little toy, but it has so many oddities.

I don't dislike it. Just not my cup of tea.
I do not think the front axle is powered.
