Uggghhhhhh. This ****ing truck is pissing me off to no end.
Its NOT an M275. Its NOT an M35.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE **** IT IS.
In fact, not even guys who are INTO these trucks know. Its got M275 tags, but is not one. So i'm done with it. If anyone wants some parts i'll sell you whatever for outrageous prices.

my computer is being tarded, but from what i was seeing the truck is probably a brockway from the late 60's to mid 70's. i saw a few different types of trucks that had the same fenders, but a different hood and grill. the cab is kinda the same between the m trucks and the brockways, but i only saw one brockway with a split window and the cab was a little different shape than yours

Its a 1953. I was told it had a fiberglass conversion kit. Who the hell knows though.
I'm selling the winch/pto for $500 though.

Well seeing as how I figured it out five minutes before I posted that I don't see how I could have!
Someone emailing me about the top was talking to the original owner and thats what he found out.
Oddly enough this guy emailed me when I bought it, and is on the website I joined. I think i'm being stalked.

maybe you should have asked the original owner some questions, dipchit. you might be scraping something that you could sell parts from to collectors and restorers and make big money on small hard to find parts. who the hell teaches you kids to scrap nowadays? you should be ashamed of yourself. go home and tell your mommy to spank you

My buying plan was not to resell to collectors. It was "resell rockwells, make a profit."
I never intended it to have a $500 winch, or good tires.
The truck cab is worth some money, I knew that.
The rockwells, engine, trans, winch are all money.
Scrapping the flatbed if I can't sell. And the frame is going to the scrap aswell.
There's no real hard to find parts on this truck. (Not hard to find for me anyways..)

there is always something that is hard to find or wears out on specific vehicles. ask around on that site you joined. i'm just trying to help you make money, and by that i mean, find out what you buy before hand, so you know what you have and what it's worth. i assume you didn't get a title, but you should've at least asked what the hell the truck was when you dropped some cash for it. i know the axles were your main concern, but you never know when your gonna find a killer deal. sweet scores are few and far between now thanks to the internet

You assumed wrong though, I did obtain a title for it. The title is for the cab, from an M275, the tags also tell me it is an M275.. However, the front end is not an M275. Everything else besides the cab would be M35 material. And there's nothing real specific on an M35 that couldn't be found pretty easily. The engine is not stock, so there's no hope for rare thing there. (Although a good engine, not rare.)
I assume someone dropped the M275 cab ontop of an M35 frame to sell it. (Having a title for a M275 cab..?) I have to admit, there might be a few things to be sold for some money. But if I sale the cab as a whole, then that kind of eliminate thats. I agree with you for the most part Dan. But everything is good at this point. I have someone interested in the cab and exhaust. And someone is coming wednesday to buy the PTO/Winch.
That just leaves a flatbed, rockwells, engine/trans and a frame.
Correct?
I'm going to have to pass on that for now. Besides, thats got to be $1000 in gas, (at 20mpg.) i'm SURE you could find a set of rockwells around Flordia for less then $1500 lol.
