Hi99nouns, I'm sorry that I missed your question as I lost track of this thread ;-( Yes I am going to line the entire box with rigid insulation. I am just getting the box mounted and I have started a new thread at...

Hi Karl, I am working on the mounting system now and I will provide a detailed description and pictures in a few weeks when it is done. Here are my thoughts so far... For the front mounts there will be two pieces of 3x3x3/8"(?) right angle steel bolted to the front of the bed at the width of...

Howdy, This is a slow project that I will update as significant milestones are met. I am mounting a Air Force Craig box (rough external dimensions are 8'w x 12'l x 87"h) on the bed of my 923-a2 as the base for a camper suitable for the South Western United States. Yes it is tall at...

Howdy, Sorry for my jumping to inaccurate assumptions about your project! When I read about grinding and angles as a machinist and gunsmith I think in terms of pretty precise metal work. And since I was one of those splitting wheels in the bad old days I jumped the gun with my comments. One...

Howdy, As a VOG I could tell you several very sad/bad stories from the early sixties when it was very common to take a set of VW, Jeep or truck wheels, split them and weld sewer pipe (or whatever could be found in the right diameter) in to make a set of wide wheels. Dick Cepek started his...

Howdy, Just to be clear... In NV you will want to title any truck at no more than 26,000 lbs. because at 26,001 lbs. you will minimally need an air-brake endorsement and other complications may arise. At 26,000 lbs. you can also tow a trailer with a GVW of 10,000 lbs.; just enough for our...

YUP! I got one of his Mogs first! Great off-road but to small and to slow for my needs. I've forwarded Allard this thread as I do not know his nick name here. tom n tyler

Well things started off with a real bang right after I got the truck... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?153988-Threw-a-Torque-Rod-today And I have to admit that I am still a little intimidated by the sheer size of everything but so far so good! I am putting a box on the back right...

Howdy, No I am just down the road from Allard. Allard is the one who got me into this... Happy Tails, tom n tyler

Yup!!

Now there's an honest guy Tobys! I would have said... Just cleaned the interior! ;-) Happy Tails, tom n tyler

Howdy, I am interested in getting any technical information about the bolts, nuts and springs used to attach the bed of a 923-a2 to the frame. I am working on a design to mount a “Craig 73” box on to a 923-a2 bed that the sides have been removed for clearance. The truck: The...

Thanks for the thoughts 99nouns! The reason I am going with the larger box is because my camper design supports "4 Season" camping and everything will be contained within the box. While I consider the South-West as my home, in Northern NV we can get sub-zero weather and hard freezing temps are...

Howdy, Recently I have been in the process of reading or posting on various forums (I am long winded and I do spend considerable time surfing through various forums) and I find that I have been logged out. I have looked in all of the obvious (to me) places to see if there is some option to...

Howdy, I am mounting an aluminum military shelter box (a 8'w x 12' Craig 73) on the bed of my 923-a2. I live and roam in the South West (e.g., Black Rock Desert, Death Valley, NV & AZ) so box height and width is less critical to me that those in heavily forested areas. After I remove the...

Howdy, This is a GREAT idea! I'm 5'8", creaky and cranky and more so every time I have to manipulate the tailgate. This will really save me a lot of pain and suffering ;-) I am also planning on building a set of stops for the tailgate as I want it to go no further than level with the bed so...

Howdy, My 923a2 back window was locked up solid. I cleaned the channels and lightly lubed them. Then I took a plastic "dead-blow" hammer and tapped tapped tapped away. Once I got a little movement I just repeated cleaning, lubing and tapping and now one side freely slides. This weekend I...

Howdy, Thanks for the info! Is this the product? https://www.napaonline.com/napa/en/p/NCA75203/NCA75203 Happy Tails, tom n tyler

Howdy, Which fluid did you use for your transmission (specifics please)? Thanks! Happy Tails, tom n tyler
