It has come about from many different cases of people pushing the limit and being overly pushy it still amazes me at the attitude of some who act like the gl personnel owe them full service and unlimited time to get their trucks up and going, or gl must load their trucks. The Govliquidation...

Look long and hard in person and bid like it is a piece of junk plan on six weeks of rebuild, a wrecker bill of one brick of gold, an euc wait of six months, a bend over inspection to get on base, a gl employee that hates you because you are buying from their pile of crap, half of what you bid...

I have asked and can't find anyone to tell me where they were made, after looking at the rest of the suspension I think that Neway made most of the parts try starting on that end.

yes there is a mix of good to soso trucks most are fixable but some will cost more than others some good ones were sent to huntsville but there are still some here but the 936s that are here are the ones that were left after the rebuild contract was fulfilled same for the thousand or so 931 a932...

they do sell them They do sell them you just have to look harder. :driver:

that might explain some of the reinforced cabs that I have seen that didn't have ring mounts or appear to ever had one, but it looked just like the gun truck cabs that I looked at. I have often wondered why they didn't make all the cabs reinforced from the beginning.

You stink Richard like I don't have enough different ideas about changing cabs! :beer:

From what I can tell that box is for use with the uparmored cab but I have seen some on the 931a1 & a2's some as battery boxes and some as BII boxes. I am going to use a standard 939 BII box on my 816 and move my batteries inside between the seats. My assistants don't like to climb in the trucks...

Okay I want to know has anyone on here actually changed a 809 series cab for a 939 series?

The air ride m931a2 that I have pictures of have shocks on the rear mounted on top of the axel tilted to the rear and mounted to the outside of the frame.

Does anyone have a drawing of the hardened cabs or at least a way to tell them from the standard cab?

All I have seen have an hour meter on the inside and have seen about fifty so far, also the trucks that have the tachograph seem to read true miles and hours for that truck I think because it maybe harder to get a replacement for.

So far there has been only one truck left behind that I have seen not sure why but the largest part of these trucks have gone to scrappers, makes me sad, but you can forget your conspiracy theory it's not happening I know because I get to talk to most of the different buyers.

Welcome aboard Good to have you with us.

Have thought about adding one to mine also, could possibly use the rear winch to lift it then pin it in place for travel .

Hey guys I know it might start a crap storm but can we put the tm's back somewhere, I like that the cucv ones are on a sticky I had posted one myself and now I have lost all access to it.

seen it on a truck at shelby

Any reason not to put air switch parkbrake on a wrecker in place of the linelock that might leak?

Sixspeed did you get your wrecker? If not pm me and we can at least keep gl from fussing at you or heaven forbid taking it.

Okay here's the deal on the locked brakes at Camp Shelby on the 939 series trucks they have a couple different things going on first is humidity down here makes any bare metal down here rust so clamped down brake shoes almost weld to the drums, and these are wedge not cam style air brakes and...
