    Can we assume you were runnin' bobtail / EMPTY and not hauling a really heavy trailer, maybe wet, with a mud laden dozer (muddy trailer tires and undercarriage on ALL as well) like some do ? ;-)

    Artisan's M916

    Interesting, I didn't notice. Now that I critique it I believe I see no stamping in the hood butterfly either that says AM GENERAL and I do not think I see expanded metal in front of the radiator.

    I realize "THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT PICTURES" but "I" am really happy this second due to what I did. I lowered the PS pedestal undr the seat ONLY 2", adding angle iron support as required under the new Hemtt seat I added on the PS to match the drivers side. I told you this recently...

    The SCMVCC Alas, It is actually picking up though. It is under all new management and growth orientated they are. Things are being done as one would expect and THEN SOME. Member PiperCub came out for the first time 3 months ago selling his wares and now we can't get rid of him! ;-)...

    That picture of the 3 axle (rear) truck is an M920. Hopefully an M920 owner will chime in and tell us if that frontmost-rear, liftable axle, is driven or not. I "guess" it is not. My M916 is the same truck less that frontmost-rear axle and a lil shorter.

    Southern California Salvage yards ?

    No promises but the So Cal Military Vehicles Collector's Club has a swap meet once a month at AMVETS, in Irwindale, on Los Angeles St. Lots of good nuggets roll thru there. The SCMVCC is under new management too. It's all good... Here is a copy of the latest newsletter if your interested.

    This program is interrupted by a little history... A little history I never would have known unless I had paid attention to one of the elders of this forum, a man whom has forgotten more than I will ever know about these behemoths. . . Some time ago I was reading a post this man penned...

    Looks good. I am now leaning towards a much taller whip mounted on the front bumper that doubles as a height gauge. Driving down back country roads can be scary, lots of getting in and out to look at clearances, if there is a tall whip up front you can gauge things a lot easier. Those wheel...

    Oh man...how I know about the front bumpers on these beasts. Your method is viable unless you pull the bumper! I would do the same if I had that excavator. "they all do that" comes to mind. Just yesterday I showed the front bumper to my welder. I can weld but this kid can lay down...

    The PS air ride seat to match the DS seat is still in the works. The box the PS seat sits on was sectioned and chopped making a 2" drop for the new bitch seat so both seats will sit at the same height, but as usual, I saw opportunity and the PS box not only is being made ready for an air ride...

    I can make bitchin' civilian hitch parts... I provide the port and starboard 3/8" thick steel drops and the two Star Gussets. You have a licensed master welding contractor fit it up and weld it all up. You supply the 16,000 Lbs receiver. All parts are CAD designed and cut w/ a water jet...
