    5 ton bedliner

    Here ya go. I did it on my deuce also. Here is my M932a1 with a shortened deuce bed on it. Cost me about $100. Used a gallon of bedliner from the farm supply.

    FDC bypassed and crankcase still floods with fuel

    I did also and it still leaked.

    FDC bypassed and crankcase still floods with fuel

    My cold start was an issue. After replacing the injector, lines, etc it still would drip on the turbo. I finally just pulled the injector, plugged the opening, pulled and plugged the fuel lines and disconnected the electrical line to the cold start fuel pump. No problems since and my truck...

    5 Ton 4x4 Conversion

    Mine started as a m932 and took a drop side deuce bed and shortened it 3 feet. I'm very happy with it.

    Fund raiser March 31 Eureka, Mo

    Yes. My 932 is also plated as an historic vehicle. I will be re-plating the deuce as historic when the regular registration is up since its much cheaper and I won't be putting a lot of miles on it. Historic vehicles only need a verification inspection and once licensed your done (must be...

    Fund raiser March 31 Eureka, Mo

    Took the deuce out for a fund raiser for one of our vets who was wounded last year. Big turnout for a small town. Ross, 2buells, brought his new to him xm813 as well. Good time and the guest of honor climbed up in my deuce to play with the 50. Didn't get a pic though.

    I finally Had Enough...

    I picked up one of those geared lug wrenches off ebay. It includes the sockets as well in a nice case, $200 delivered to the house. It emoved the nuts with ease. I did get a big impact wrench and it works well and cost the same as the geared wrench.

    I did it, I own a 1970 M813

    I wouldn't do 16's, at most 14's . You might want to consider 395's. They are only slightly smaller and offer a great look. There was a member on here that just sold an 8 series truck with 395's and it looked great.

    My Xm813a1 is Home... time to get to work!

    It was a blast ! It really couldn't have gone any smoother. I can't believe how well your 813 runs. This will be a great truck once some of the cosmetics are taken care of. I will be looking for those parts as well for you. It seems the GL lot up in IA has had some issues so they really...

    M932A1 with shorter drop side deuce bed

    His 813 runs incredibly well. Just needs some cosmetic work and it will be awesome. We switched trucks for a while and I couldn't believe how much smoother riding his 813 was. I think the singled tire setup makes for a more harsh ride because of the sidewall strength of the tires. When I...

    M932A1 with shorter drop side deuce bed

    Helped my buddy recover his xm813 from IA yesterday. Put 620 miles on the M93xa1 in one day. It performed perfectly. I'm very pleased. We didn't need the tow bar setup since his truck ran great. No issues on the recovery. He'll post up later. It was a very long day starting for me at 215am and...

    900 series 5 ton orings

    There are two types of orings. You'll need to look at the wheel to see which types. You have large and small bolts that hold the two halfs together. Each type uses a different size oring. I don't remember which is which. My local big truck tire place had a guy that was familiar with them...

    M932A1 with shorter drop side deuce bed

    My solargizer is mounted to the antenna post between the spare tire and storage box. Its up and out of the way and in plane sight of the sun :grin:

    M932A1 with shorter drop side deuce bed

    The battery box is vented through a hole in the back of the cab that's sealed off from air in the cab. It works for me. With the batteries in the cab it makes it very easy to add accessories with an in line fuse for protection. I have a solargizer, battery tender, dome light and soon to add a...

    M932A1 with shorter drop side deuce bed

    I won't be doing the battery box upgrade. It puts the box too low to the ground. My truck will see some off roading.
