In current surplus, the M920 tractor with M870 trailer is the way to go. Plan on spending about $6000 for each in usable condition from GL. Insurance will run you about $200/month, and your permit about $30 each time you roll. I'm moving lighter armor (Stewart) so I can get by with a M915...

OK, I searched and can't find anyone who has actually done this. My motivation is fuel economy, not pulling 30K lb gooseneck trailers. My big concern is will the engine be too close to the front axle in a stock (non-lifted) truck? Assistance appreciated, I am about to buy a donor CTD...

Is this the 925 with the 250 or the C12 powerplant?

Nice Ratt rig! Unusual to find them with the radios and accesories. Looks like the R392 is missing? I think you should keep it and restore a M37 to put it in!

Soni, my comment above was not intended to be an attack or you or to be negative about your rig. I usually keep my opinions about people's modifications on this site to myself, unless safety is involved. My job involves moving superloads 250,000 lbs+ all over the US, so bear with me. For...

The reinforced shackles is a mid production change to the M38A1. The massive spring packs are stock.

I'm in the middle of installing my kit from Dilvoy in my M915. This is a dream kit, trust me. 24 volt, slab condenser, high quality. The compressor is intended to go on the passenger side, which is perfect for a G742 deuce.

Unpin the external shift linkage and make sure the shift rail is in the internal detent for low range when the lever is in the low position. If that checks out, your buddy is faced with the miserable task of pulling the transfer and cracking it open for some explorative surgery. Bent fork is...

Just don't put the 5th wheel to the rear of the centerline of the bogie like an unnamed tan 920, or I will have you busted to the rank of Waste Collection System scrubber. (NASA humor)

You will be amazed how well the full time 4x4 with the open diffs do in the slop. Even with stock rubber mine always amazes me. Just peg the throttle and let the 727 do it's thing. Same issue here with the gas pumps. My trick is to hold the nozzle only halfway in and reduce the flow, that...

Half track and haul rig looks great! I suppose PCtrans will approve of your load binding . . .

That's how I like to buy 'em, clean up the parts, put them on the shelf, and sell them in 20 years to finance my retirement.

Are the 2HN's available? I haven't seen any advertised in the hobby magazines.

Slopes towards the tractor just a little. Same as with a M818.

The hood and visor, well they are kind of 1980's touches and this is 2010. Can't really boast about a 200 hp diesel in your truck anymore . . . BTW, welcome to the IBEW, brother.

Sandblast and epoxy primer. If you are doing floorboards, make sure you cover the steering column really well or the sand will mess up the ignition cylinder and switch.

You will LOVE the M915A1. I know I do mine! It just needs creature comforts like A/C and a radio, which I am in the middle of installing. I know the M172 is intended to go with the M916, but it goes great with the 915 as well, see pic . . . WM, sorry you had to part with Jessica, but...

Here's an idea, I don't know if you have any junk yards in Phoenix that have any old military trucks such as M-37's, M135's, M-35's etc, these all use the same generator set up. The generator is like about 60 lbs and not cheap to ship. Repairing the mechanical voltage regulators seems to be a...

Looks like a big project. Lots of brush truck add-ons. Looks like they dualed it out to help support that 2500 gallon? tank. I will state the obvious, don't plan on driving it back. When you get into it, the GMC owners here will point you down the right road. Good luck.

If you have tossed the alternator shown in page one of this thread and replaced it with the correct Autolite or Delco-Remy 25 amp generator, you will need the 25 amp regulator to go with it. It mounts on the frame platform near the starter. There are mechanical regulators by Autolite and...
