Great modification! I plan on mounting two in my M813. One for the navigator and one for the driver. Then I won't need my work light to see in the cab! I might even put one under the hood for emergancy repairs? [thumbzup] I have some APC dome lights in the classifieds if you need some for your...

I have a M813 w/w. I put 1600R20 Michelin XZL's on it and I drive it in down town Boston all the time. The hard part is finding a parking spot! I bought a 5 ton over a deuce because of the cummins motor and the power steering. I love the truck. If you have any questions or need any help bobbing...

Jwaller how did you order your parts? Did you look them up in the TM first or just give them a call?

Thanks for the tip Jwaller. You save the day again!

Man! that is a nice truck! Kicking myself for not buying it. Let us know if it is as clean as it looked on the auction. Check all the fluids before you get going and read the operators manual too. I would hate to see you damage that mint truck. I am in Boston if you need any recovery while in...

Hey crazywelder72. What is the history of your truck. Was it well maintained, how many miles on the motor, Was the motor turned up at all? Basically, did the last owner beat the piss out of it! was it a mud truck? I would try rebuilding it if you have the tools or just buy the head and keep...

When I bought my house it came three Artic stove new in the box. The kind that folds up into itself and you can burn feul in them too. I sold them for $20. buck each! aua This was before I caught the OD bug!

your have the right idea. It sounds like the airpack is leaking into the hydraulic (brake) side. Take plenty of pictures during the rebuild. We would like to see them. good luck!

I was going to put these on my truck too, but I think I am going to have to make a pull out ladder not that I put 1600's on my M813.

The bead on these tires is so big and tight, I would worry about getting the bead to fully seat with out bead locks in place. Plus you can air the tire all the way down with bead locks and not worry about the tire spinning on the rim or the bead from coming undone. I was worried about cornering...

Sorry, I dropped the ball on this one! I got going and forgot to take pictures. You will need to take your drums and hubs off to press in the new longer studs. I bought my 1 1/2 rear bridge truck spacers and the studs from a fellow SS for $200. Not bad considering studs that size are like $7...

Call Kublos Surplus in Brackney PA. They should have them new. That is where I got my O-rings for my wheels.

I want one of those low bed ammo trailers. Those things are awesome!

I am putting my crane truck build on the back burner. I am building a Gun truck instead. have put my Hiab up for sale in the classifieds. I will be watching the build for future reference.

sorry to hear about the DOR. I hear Ebay is doing the same thing now. Most of the time I am not making any money on the parts. once you move them around, transport them and get haggled down the money goes into the fuel tank, not in my pocket. See you guys there!

drilling the web is stronger like Jaxsof said, but with the plate you mounted it should be fine. I would recommend putting those angle that were on the outside of the frame on too. great post by the way. I didn't see if you mentioned that the fifth wheel pin center should be 4" forward of the...

I want to see that rear winch set up! that and how that gib mounts and works? Picture, pictures and more pictures please!

I bought my M813 last year. I did the basics first. Did a full lube and service, replaced all the wheel seals, flush the fuel system, replaced all the rubber fuel lines. Modifications that are complete: added 1 1/2 spacers and longer studs on the front axle to make more...

My M813 came with a 90 degree bend at the top. I am building a Gun truck so I will need to extend my stack to get the exhaust up and away from the bed area.

just to update everyone. I put the bridge truck rear 1 1/2 inch spacer on the front of my M813 to spacer out my front wheels. It was a little bit of work, but It was worth it to get my turning radius back. Just a little tip. 900 series rear spacers will work, but M809 series would be better. The...
