These trucks are some of my earliest memories which sparked a lifelong passion for all things green, as a young boy we would drive down 9th avenue in Calgary past Mewata Armoury and the M135's were lined up 3 deep in the parking lot. Coincidently this route past the Armoury was usually part of a Saturday morning pilgrimage to Crown Surplus, but that is another story. I for one am kind of glad these trucks have never really caught on with collectors leaving prices in the affordable range, and I understand styling is not part of the military design lexicon, but these trucks just have a look that in my opinion trumps all before or since...and remember "John J. Rambo" didn't drive no M35!

That's because it was a low budget film done in Canada, and M135s were cheap. In fact, I believe some of the deuces in the film were borrowed from one of the reserve units, and there were one or two more early release deuces purchased from a logging company for the deuces that got injured.

Personally, I thought they were an ugly truck, with an unnecessary styling, but now that they are into their 60s, they kind of have a neat vintage look.
