I really like the 939 series trucks. I installed a block heater which really helped speed up the cold weather start time

Installed a deuce bed

After this last winter a block heater is #1 on my list.

I need to provide some updates. I painted the deuce bed and installed a new tan cargo cover.

I loaded five kayaks a canoe my wife three kids and three of their friends and went to the lake. I really like the sides of the cargo cover rolled up. Got a lot of looks and people taking pics.

Be careful with the block heaters that have the locking nut to hold in the element. They tend to leak around the element. I prefer the fusion welded units.

I really like this truck. Being able to load six boats and eight people is neat. Trips like this demonstrate to my loving wife that these military trucks have genuine utility.

i want to install six seat belts along one side of the troop seats. I don't plan on long trips, but have taken the kids for short rides before with straps across the back of the bed.

in Cali you can't have anyone in the bed of a truck....so haulin folks in the rear is a no go.
Not sure bout your state.....

Thankfully PA is much more old fashioned (read greater freedom) than CA, which I am sure you can appreciate given your reference to you location as being "occupied kalifornia". That said, you cannot have passengers in the bed of a truck in PA either, but my personal position is that troop seats are seats designed for passengers, unlike the bed of a pick up, which is designed for cargo not passengers. I will exercise the personal responsibility of installing seat belts and use my truck as I see fit. I am not prompting lawlessness or stating a legal opinion, just my personal opinion. It is kind of amusing that if someone does something fun, without any impact on anyone else, it often times is "illegal". If the measure of "illegality" is measured by fun, this particular trip was highly "illegal".
