I completely hear you. I am relieved that we can at least get historic tags, which was in doubt with the previous bill. I still am PISSED that they were able to move this along in a special session...but they did the same with other, uhhh, agenda items to keep this from getting political.

This is not exactly true. They did pull an end around on us, but they did not proceed with the full spirit of the originally proposed bill that would have ended historic tags for any vehicles over 10,001 GVW. The big change is that you can no longer tag a deuce or 5 ton that is under 25 years...

I just gave two nice ones away for scrap value. One thing that hindered the value was the lack of a title. They were acquired from GL when they were not giving titles some years back...just SF97s with their notarized bill of sale...and that did not cut it in MD. I got my money out of them and...

...and you have the nicer crank up landing leg! They are great. Congratulations.

Whatever you find, please post back to the list because I want at least one of those two trucks, too. Thanks for helping. That way, your efforts can help the rest of us who can't inspect.

You just missed an M925 in VA.

The tractors do not ride as smoothly as the cargos, and they don't ride as smoothly as the LWB trucks. A friend has an M818 on which he installed a deuce bed and it looks great. He and I were just talking about this thread and his words were, "No way I'd seek out a tractor to convert into a...

Find yourself an M923. It will be much easier and will be more functional.

I suggest you go for an M923 with 1100s. They are cheaper and you'll thank me later on the power. If you have to have the single tires, go for an A1...again cheaper.

Didn't I read this thread a few weeks back? Is it dejavu or have I seen these pics in another thread? Nice truck, by the way.

Keeping the low mileage one may not be the answer. I'd drive both and consider other factors, as well. Have the transmissions serviced (or do it yourself)...see if there is any major metal in the transmission fluid. Pull a wheel or two to check the brakes and bearings. Check the transfer...

There is a governor on the firewall that could be bad. I had an M929 once with the same symptom and that was my problem.

I would not expect to run an M939 series truck at 65 MPH for any distance. They will do it, but they are not made to run that day in and day out. If you need that kind of speed, while towing equipment, I agree with WELDER SAM, think civvie. My $.02...

Personally, I would not settle for a tan cover if that is not what I wanted on my truck. You'll find one...and the GMA suggestion above is a good one.

PM will be sent! Thanks, Randy!

Thanks, guys.

I have replaced O rings on several M939A2 rims. However, I came across a wierd situation where the O rings in my 1989 M925A2 are not the same as those on my M928A2, or any other A2 that I have owned previously. I believe this rim takes a 1/2" by 20" O ring while my other trucks use a thinner O...

Your CTIS leak is most likely due to an O-ring failure. I have several M939A2s and have had several that had tires that leaked down over the years. All stopped leaking down once the O-rings were replaced. I just went through this on an M928A2 that has working CTIS. I suppose the CTIS valve...

Looks great, John. I love the look of the singles, and also like the higher road speed, but I agree, the 1100s definitely are better for pulling. Great looking rig!

PM DECODEME. He and I were talking about the CDL class he took where they also gave him the truck to test on. They literally went through it and told him...this is all you have to know. The price was reasonable as I remember, but I don't recall the exact price.
