I would like to address braking with a non-ABS truck. My 923A2 truck had the ABS MWO and would not lock up the brakes in a panic stop. I was driving my 925A2 on the farm road a few weeks ago and wanted to see what happens when you lock the brakes up on a non-ABS truck so I would be more prepared...

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a set of data plates for my M101A3 trailer. I checked with MV data plates vendors, but they are not available. Does anyone have any leads on where I can find a set new or used? Thanks!

Hi all, A few of us 939-series truck guys went in together to get a lot of 4 seats in AL. They are at Redstone right now and will need picked up ASAP and hauled to the east coast. The seats are in individual palletized, crates. Each crate measures 31" x 31" x 44" (L x W x H) and they weigh...

Hey gang, I am working on getting my 925A2 titled. I need to have a county, city, military or state LEO look at my truck that is sitting in Winslow's yard and sign off on my VIN inspection form. Is anyone nearby that can help out? If we can't get together in person at Winslow's, then I can...

Hello members, It has taken me a long time to get over the fact that David AM30+ is gone. That's why we have been so long without a Chaplain. I apologize to those who have been in need and haven't had anyone to talk to. I am pleased to announce that a long time Steel Soldiers member...

I seem to keep ending up with Seabee trucks because of where I live. M923A2 was a Seabee truck and now I have the Seabee 925A2. My Dad has a Seabee M756A2 too. I like the Seabee stuff since it is unique so I am going to keep going with that theme. I have been talking with my brother about...

Hey Gang, I want to install a coolant filter kit on my 8.3CTA Cummins. I have flushed it out numerous times with water, but it still has a nice rusty tint to it. I have switched to 50/50 since the temps have been dipping down towards freezing. Since it has a fuel-burning heater kit...

Hey guys, I have a parts kit sitting in a storage building in Appleton, WI 54914. It weighs 209 lbs and is in a shabby cardboard box that measures 26"x40"x"30. Can anyone pick it up and carry it this way? I have a couple of quotes to ship it over here, but they are $200 and up. I'll try...

I'm sure a few of you have noticed that FreightTrain is missing from the SS forums. That's because he was banned a while back. There are a few rumors circulating as to why he was banned. Here is a list of the actual reasons: Failed to heed multiple warnings about breaking multiple site...

I will need a M101A3 3/4-ton trailer picked up from Lejeune in the next few weeks after my EUC clears. Anyone close by that may be able to assist? It would be ideal if you can pick it up and stow it for a week or two until I can drive down on a weekend to pick it up.

I managed to get a M101A3 yesterday on GL. She looks real pretty with 12-bolt rims and 37" radials. Now I just need a HMMWV to pull it!! The MEP002A will fit nicely in there and I should be able to stash a lot of other tools and junk around it for road trips. I need a data plate for it...

Attention Steel Soldiers members who are also attorneys: There is a lot going on around here behind the scenes these days. I could occasionally use the advice of a good attorney or two or three. If any of you attorney-members would like to volunteer your services from time to time, I would...

I need a trailer to carry the MEP002A. Found this one locally. Thinking of making an offer on it. It is missing the master cylinder. Has 8-lug HMMWV rims and tires on it. Parking brake cables are stuck? No title, bill of sale only. What would be a fair offer? Asking price is $400. I...

Hi All, Is anyone going to hooks in the next week? I need 2 crates picked up. The lot is 29" x 27" x 4" (L x W x H) and weighs ~350 lbs. I can pay fuel. Thanks in advance! Chris

Hi All, We have been trying for quite some time to get the PS Mags from the old Steel Soldiers site switched over to the "new" site. It is still a work in progress. In the meantime, I thought I could provide the link as a sticky so folks can easily find the section on the old site. Thanks...

Hi All, Need a package (approx. 100 lbs) picked up in east TN and either brought east or north. I am in southeast VA and I have family in Raleigh, NC and WV. Anyone making a trip through TN? Thanks! Chris

Hi 5-ton fans. Have any of you seen a fuel burning heater kit mounted in the bed of a 939 cargo truck? I am going to install one in my 925A2 and would like to see how the military guys installed it. I know it will be basically the same as a deuce installation. Let me know if you have any...

Anyone going there? Need 1 lot previewed. Thanks.

The motor bracket (P/N# 12276904) is busted on my 925A2. It is what mounts the hydraulic motor to the winch. It is aluminum so it didn't hold up really well to what ever the SeaBee guys ran over. I haven't been able to find one used yet. All of the yards I have called have one, but they are...
