Awesome thanks Bruce, I really enjoyed that...
I have done a few mods on ther website, haven't "listed" it as such yet with meta tags as I have to sort out wether I need to do anything official with Chrysler so I can use their Ram logo on my site. Let me know what you think so far (only the basic page, no active links apart from E-Mail and Dodge so far)
Regards - MM

Wow. I think I would have an issue about someone casting a flood light on me while I was on a night patrol.
The Shepards jumping into the M37 was only half as impressive as the soldier steping up into the bed in one motion. If I tried that, something would tear and it wouldn`t be my trousers...
Here is a youtube clip of the NJ 50th Armored Division troops deploying during the Newark Riots. Lots of M211s, M38A1s and a couple M37s

Most of the M211s I noticed in the clip were actually M135s as evidenced by their single rear wheels and "notched" beds. The M211s had dual rear wheels and the lower edge of the bed side was flat. Interesting clip, though. It brought back some not-so-fond memories of my own riot control duties with the Air National Guard. The times being what they were, we occasionally saw "combat" on the home front but Uncle Sam didn't award Purple Hearts for injuries inflicted by the "enemy combatants" in the CONUS theater of operations.

I wasnt attentive to those details but you are right. Someone mentioned seeing a M38 flat hood in there as well as some sort of machine gun mounted in a M37. The "riot" training portion was interesting too. You can tell they never did it before.
Were the M135s a later version than the M211s ?

Yeah...they were fumble-footed as hell. Looked like a herd of cattle being rounded up for milking!

Actually the M135 is the "base model" for the serries, much like the M34 was the base model for the Reo trucks. (the M34 is like the 135 single wheel wells in bed etc)
So to asnwer your question. They came out at the same time.
