Simp's M915A1 and M920 Build Thread
Picked up an 1984 M915A1 off of GSA for $3,156.00. Listed as a non runner. Truck was used at the Oklahoma State University Ranch site so basically it hauled cows. They said it had not been started in 4 or 5 years. 140,300 miles on the ODO. Rebuilt as RSMS at...
So I know some of us have had had to deal with code enforcement and our trucks or other things. Or even maybe other government agencies. Regardless of its local/state/etc.
Well this opinion was handed down by the US Supreme court last year which has not filtered down to all levels of court or...
Anyone in the area that could run take a peak at a M936A0 at the Westport Highway Department thru the week?

Anyone around Exton/West Chester/Thorndale ? I bought a table top Rockwell Drill Press from a location there at auction. Anyone available to pick it up and hold till i can swing by? Small enough to only take up half a pallet.
Thanks
Will be updated as I can get the numbers crossed and the parts verified. We should have the USMC MK parts/repair manual in the TMs shortly. I can better verify parts by location and source before posting.
I will arrange and organize the sections once I get enough parts ran thru...

So. Yeah. I have that issue of not leaving crap alone so here is another quest/challenge. An MK15A1 rear assembly swap into the 923. Let's just call the truck an XM923A5 or something along those lines at this point. Only thing that is basically a 5 ton is the Front axle, cab, hood, bed. So...
Needing a driver to accompany me on a trip to recover some items that I need relocated back to TN. Basically bought too much stuff to haul. It is 3 trucks and 1 trailer. All run. Would be driving 1 truck while towing the trailer carrying another truck. Trucks will run in the 60/62mph range...
Anyone around Drum that could snag a M1088 FMTV with a towbar? Does not run according to the listing. It is missing the front driveshaft so it won't move even if it did run. Brake system seems to be intact since they aren't caged. Tires on it are new and air'd up.
Just trying to find...
