I like reading your take on these 809 series trucks, I'm sure I will enjoy learning more about and working on one same as I did the 3/4 tons. Of all the vehicles I have owned in the past 45 or so years, I do miss my m37s the most. I had actually started considering this project with the m43...

Overall I think I could make one of these MVTRs work in the end but it isn't really my usual style. I think the truck is larger and more complex than I probably need. I am more comfortable with mechanicals over electronics. Thanks for bringing up the fuel mileage as that should be factored in as...

I am liking what I am finding out about the m813s with my research so far. Much improved over the bridge truck rabbit hole I had dug so deep into. In fact I feel I may like them just fine with the duals and ndt tires. I never had problems with the ndt tires on my m37s. It went anywhere I wanted...

Looked one over on GP that is located in Georgia. $5000. starting bid with no bids yet. Untested/unstarted no winch. 475 hp cat/ allison 7 Spd, independent single speed transfer full time driveline, 7 ton. 16 singles. I can vision a nice bus grafted to this cab once it is trimmed a bit more...

Thanks for informing me on the pictures I posted. Funny thing is I originally had thought the 813 a 5 ton but was only guessing due to it having 10 lug wheels. The widow that has these trucks corrected me and said it was a deuce. She seemed confident and I had no real knowledge other than I...

Checking more into the option of using the m812 bridge truck I found for sale locally. The price is very attractive but the over width issue turns out is not so simple. My research has resulted in conflicting information on how these over the legal limit for road use bridge trucks gained...

M927 cargo m928 cargo w/winch M934 m935 expansible van wo/winch M942 m943 chassis? Haven't found any with a quick search. All extra long wheel base models. I also found while researching these model numbers the m900 series trend higher priced than what I have found the 800s. Prices were all...

Bill, I feel that 900 series is the best advice. I just have to find a long wheel base. The 800s have been making themselves available is all. These m812 bridge trucks have a axle width problem I may or may not be able to solve. Plus a narrower cab that wouldn't line up as nice on the wide bus...

Bridge crane truck I am considering for my project, sorry the pics are glared out. Another deuce? tractor is parked behind the bridge truck if it can be seen. Saw a military lowboy trailer that may be its companion. Some cargo trailers and much more than I have the experience to detail...

The deuce cargo left of the 5 ton dump.

Bill I haven't come by any 900 series trucks to get a close up walk around look at yet. They would definitely be my first choice from what I've read so far. I do prefer the wider cab, tilting doghouse along with the power steering . My wife would never drive a truck this large so the automatic...

Thanks for this link, I just read thru the 7 pages. Some well thought out nice work being done. I may use some of his ideas.

Adventurer rig works for me. Looks like there's more than one of these rigs roaming around out there. With more than one way to build it also. That yellow flat face looks like quite the beast. Those two posted are the only pictures I could find of the originally posted vehicle. Not sure it...

We don't know anything about it other than what can be seen in the pics. I think it is a 6x6. And yes I agree with you, I think it would make a great motor home /RV also. I am sorting out the how to go about building one now. The little woman likes the idea and is on board. She told me I have...

I am relieved to see that I am not the only one that thinks this vehicle could be something they would like to own. I really like it also. Not sure but I believe it must be a bus body grafted onto a long wheel base 5 ton 6x6 at the firewall. Found another pic that must have had some digital...
