Grant, your observation of the cargo box in post #2 first photo is interesting. The Ferret in that box is sitting higher than the Ferret in the 5-ton behind it. Note the height of cargo box in relation to the axle-hub of the Ferret.

For a timeline I would guess at 1976 or 1977. There are what appears to be Chev 5/4 tons in the background along with a Dodge M152, so it was during the transition. And I think the 5 ton diesels were 1976 vintage, but I can't be sure. They might have been 1974....I'll have to check the EDR viewer.
It well could be that they put a ferret into a regular deuce with the wheelwells, and made the wooden spacers to fit above the wells. We used to do that for Jeeps, but a Jeep only weighs a third of what a ferret weighs. As I said before, you really are pushing the envelope with a ferret in the back of a deuce.

Great photos to compare the various cargo boxes Ed. The M135 box is least like any of the other truck boxes, including the M211. In the post #2 photo, it looks to me like the forward angled rib of the box (over the rear wheel) matches that of the M135.
I agree with Rob... if that is an M135, it has a big load on it's back.

The gent who took the photos says it was 1975 but as he is human like the rest of us he could be wrong, I will ask.
I did put the year in the thread title
