I wish my truck was all done and looked that good. I have a long way to go and just hope I don't run out of energy before it's done. I have most of the parts I need with the exception of cargo racks. Looking like they're going to be tough to find unless I substitute M-series parts.

I'm slowly working on it, mostly during the slow time in the winter. I've gotten the frame and axles cleaned up and painted along with some small components. Life keeps getting in the way but I plan on getting back on it once the weather turns colder.

I did run across one M809 series turbo mod, which looks like quite a bit of work. I use the truck to haul heavy equipment on short hauls (no 4-lane travel) and would like to be able to pull a hill at more than 25 mph. Probably easier to trade trucks than do the modification.

Did a little internet search to see if anyone has added a turbo to a NHC250 Cummins in a 5-ton M939 series truck but didn't come up with anything. Curios if anyone has ever put together a kit. Is it practical to do, or are there engine limitations that make it a bad idea? My brother did a 302...

I'm looking for some pics of the troop seat & cargo rack hardware for a CCKW. I have an all steel cargo box on a closed cab truck. Trying to figure out what all the parts look like so I know what I'm looking for. Some of the small parts will be easy enough to make but others not so much. If...

Does anyone know if the landing leg on a Ben Hur trailer ever had a pnuematic tire? Most all the pictures and manual info I see show a stamped steel "tire" but a few restoration pics and a few parts I've seen advertized have a rubber tire. Was the rubber tire ever used or is that a later...

Thanks for the reply. Send me some pics and let me know what your price is. Thanks Mark

I started a CCKW-353 closed cab tear down for restoration several yaers ago, then life got in the way. Currently it's bare frame and axles that has been sandblasted and sitting im my shop. I have some of the parts I need but there will be many more. Can anyone give me a few of thier favorite...

The alternator gauge on my M931 seems to work properly and normally reads in the green but I noticed a few days ago that it's reading in the yellow. It's got new batteries and they're fully charged since I keep a solar battery maintainer on it. I checked voltage at the batteries (engine off) and...

I noticed that the rear edge of the hood on my M931 has been rubbing the top fitting on the air governor. It's worn quite a bit into the brass fitting and it looks to have hammered on it enought to either bend the fitting or partially strip the threads in the governor body. Not something I...

Has anyone bought a set of the reproduction seat cushions for a closed cab CCKW that I see are available from LWD parts in the Netherlands? Are they good quality?

Can someone post a few pics of the top bows / troop seats for a CCKW-353? Looking for a few pics to help me identify some parts that I've run across. Better yet, if you've know of any parts for sale I'd be very interested. Thanks

Thanks, I'll see what my Napa guy can get.

250 Cummins non-turbo

Does anyone know if you can get seals for the power steering pump on an M939 series truck? My M931 is leaking...not horrible but I'd reseal it if I can find parts......or do I just take it apart, measure up the seals and go to NAPA and find something that will fit?
