    dash fan Uncle sam outlet had some nice nos metal dash fans with hi/off/low switch for $20 so I took the plunge. I used a piece of universal angle bracket that Home depot sells with holes and spacers already cut out. Maybe 4 inches wide or so. I drilled 2 holes into the u shaped hard top...

    Frame Number Having seen some threads on M939 Frame numbers, I actually saw mine clear as mud in front of me while doing the oil change and spin on conversion. I know my truck started Green and then sprayed Tan CARC so it has at least 2 coats of paint but clearly visible on the frame facing...

    Spin On Oil Filter Conversion Having seen many threads on this so I took the plunge. My buddy GoldnEagle told me it was a cinch. :-) I used a Baldwin brand OB1368 ( It is a reboxed fleetguard) from B Line Filters in Odessa TX. They were the cheapest I could find @ $69 plus shipping $9...

    Extra Fire Extinguisher I was fortunate to acquire 2 10lb fire extinguishers off a GL F700 katrina relic in Jan. They were dirty, discharged but perfectly serviceable. I had them refilled and they wiped down easily. TimnTrucks was my source for the HD bracket off a generator trailer I believe...

    4 way lug nut tool I acquired a nos 4 way truck hd lug wrench off a military cable reel trailer and wanted to find a way to carry it. It is bulky. I mounted on the brackets already holding the mud flaps. It supports it nicely and only took 1/2 coarse bolt, nut, washers, and a stainless wing nut...

    Fuel can holder Nothing exotic here but I wanted to add another Jerry can holder and my rear mud flaps have dileanation signs and back up lights. Forward mud flap was available. Straight 4 bolt mounting and I used strap holder loop brackets that came off my m101. I must have had 2 dozen bolted...

    wheel check flags I was at my local truck pro and saw they stocked the wheel check flags to alert on loose lug nuts. I liked the idea and had seen them on garbage trucks and bus fleets. They were .65 each. you can probably do better with a hd account with them but I am small potatoes to them...

    "delineation" signs & stickers Thanks Patriot! I posted a parts wanted ad for the "delineation" signs here. Weldersam hooked me up. They are stickers made by 3m in 2 sizes. 3M also provided the military with sign backings. Most are just stickered on but the ones on mud flaps seem to be on...

    I found the seat to be real close in size as far as drivers. The seat base and dimensions are about the same. Now the seatback is much taller and does have the head rest. Maybe a few inches wider but it fit great. The left seat belt is maybe an inch clearance to the metal cab support as it...

    Will Do! My sister lives in Vestal outside Binghamton so I do stray into the land of cold and snow occasionally. :-)

    GSS 9110 Military Air Seats I had seen several posts on these seats on ss and had a dream and drooled to get one. Luckily a close by ss member "Amphibious" had some " Left drivers side" for sale and I jumped on the oppty. :-P They were also tan which matches my truck. Cool seats that are heavy...

    Adding Reverse back up lights and back up alarm I work for the Boy Scouts and use my truck often around Cub & Boy Scouts. I wanted to add a safety feature as kids are sometimes drawn to big vehicles at the wrong time. I knew this was very doable after I read the attached Allison manual that...
