    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Get a gang box. Used in the construction trade to store tools on the job site. They come in many sizes. I have a small one in the back of the Deuce. I may move it over to the M923.

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Those main box supports are pretty flexible. You can actually feel the box go down if you push on it. It the bed pressed against the box it would flex down on the support brackets. Think about how close the top of the fuel tanks are to the truck beds. I think the space was left above the tool...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    I have a tool box on my M109 that is almost the perfect size for it. It will need to be slightly cut shorter and I may put a different door on it I don't like the lid on the box because it leaks all the time. I may fabricate 2 facing doors instead.

    Locking Fuel Cap M35A2 solution/fix

    With battery powered drills so cheap why bother with the bottom drain plug. I only lock mine to keep out contaminants. That would be more costly than losing some diesel.

    5 ton winch??

    Ye double the capacity is a beefier unit! You got the fact correct. 20,000 lbs on a 5 ton truck vs. 10,000 lbs on a M35

    The BONDO helped! If I knew the door splicing would be such an ordeal I would have fabricated a new door. BTW how is the A/C heater unit?

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Today mission accomplished! I got the box done and installed. First thing this morning I went to Advance Auto and got a small can of BONDO Filler and applicator. Then I went to Home Depot and got some Acid Etching Primer and red primer. Once I got home I set up the welder and other...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    New day new project! I went over to my friend Allen's place and removed the 2nd M818 tool box from my M931 truck. After measuring I started cutting the tool box shorter. The new dimensions are 12" wide 16" deep and 16" high. I cut some angle from the passenger seat back frame to make up the...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    OK today was another nice warm day out so I decided it was a good day for an oil change. It was also a chance to upgrade to the spin-on filter mod. I had already purchased the adapter and filters for the M931 truck, but I am not keeping the truck. So I used it to update the M923 truck. All...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Now I need to find a good Military case or box that will fit the open area. I need some thing about 30" to 32" long, about 20" to 24" wide and no more than 10" tall. If anyone has any for sale let me know. Otherwise I may have to fabricate one to fit.
