M915 Cargo conversion

[NDT]

Pics of what this looks like. Looks a little like a smaller MTVR. Not exactly in love with this. The bed hangs over the back of the frame considerably. Thanks to SS member PUZZLED for the bed from his about to be bobbed deuce.

The concept here is to be a flat-tow rig with cargo area for ballast.

i believe that would look awesome with a set of 395's and combat wheels or hemmt wheels. keep upi the good work

I liked Dorkfarmall's M950 (915+35). Then he went and sold it.

I like it. I also think I would like it more with duals. More pics please....
Time for a repaint? Keep us updated.

You could convert it to a weed burner and move the bed forward a bid so that the axles are close to where the duece axles were and extend the frame a bit. What trans is in you m915?

 

[Digger09]

I think it looks good. Would make a nice dump set up with the frame rails being short.

Doc's M950

Do you have any more photos and information on the shelter and the lifting jacks?

Thanks everyone. Yes, dump, 395's and paint are in the plans! 319, thanks for posting that pic of Doc's "950". I had never seen that. Looks like he straight piped his to make room to move the bed up 6". That makes for a noisy ride.

Sorry, don't remember whose hooch that is. It was at Haspin in 2011. hdexpert, Docfarmall, Kipman, Junkyard Wars Crusher, or Gimpyrobb may know.

I have a dropside bed that I would like to mount on a removable frame so I could put it on the back of my next M915.
I also have some big hydrolic cylinders laying around that might make it into a dumper.
It would ride high since I plan to keep the 5th wheel on it but as heavy as the truck is I don't think it would be too big an issue as long as I take it easy on the turns.

I second the 395 MVT's on combat or HEMTT wheels.

I think the hooch in question belonged to Matt.

Bob it! That bed that is. Hack one section out and move it back to match up with the frame rails. Fab a box or tire rack to go between the 9' bed and cab.

"Dogbone Matt"?

 

[Stretch44875]

Yep. On the shelter. If I remember right, it can be an "electrifying" job getting on and off the truck.
Trying to remember his username. 1970m35 something? Should be some info buried in the older haspin threads.

Matt is Matt1970M35A

Not sure why he truncated the 2 off of the end of his username.

Sometimes refered to as "Hank" because he likes to do a "Hank Hill -King of the Hill" impression.

Here is a thread regarding the shelter.

Yes the 915 makes a awesome cargo truck . SW i have another bed but how would i pull that awesome trailer we got from you if i make another M950A2C?

The straight pipe is only load when you stand on jake in high mode. Otherwise it gives it a nice deep tone.

You'd better use the heck out of that trailer or I will feel bad for selling it to you......
