As I stated a few comments back, I cancelled this project. The M109 box was sold to a member in TX and the M923 was sold to a friend here in Slidell earlier this year.

I gave up on this project months ago. I would be willing to sell my M923 and M109 trailer as a package deal for $10,000 and someone else can complete the project.

Thanks for the info. Found some on AMAZON.COM for a good price.

I took down the back porch (deck) from the M109 box. I don't like the look or design. Looks much better without it! There is going to be a 1 foot landing there when the box is installed on the M923 frame. (In order to keep the wheel centers lined up with the cutout in the wheel well on the...

Going with tan CAMO for that truck. If you have cores you can get 4 of the group 34 batteries at $45 each. Much lighter to handle and more total AMPS output. Final thought: Your truck your way... :grd:

Can you give me some specifications on the heat proof covering?

Here are the latest pictures of the truck. I am not doing any mods until I get the VIN verified.

Thank you. Can you be more specific? I love feedback and suggestions.

Went to Interstate Battery today. Picked up 4 Group 34 batteries for my truck. 10-1/4" L by 6-7/8" W by 7-3/4" H CCA 700 and CA 875. Almost identical output as the 6TL batteries. The tool box dimensions are: 25-1/2" L by 16" W by 13-1/2" H inside. So if you do the math here is what i come...

Did some searching today and I am leaning towards Type 34 batteries. Although 78DT's would be nice if I could get them for the right price! I am planning on going to the Interstate Warehouse and get some reconditioned or Blemished batteries. They are $45 each which is at less than 1/2 the...

I've seen the spec's on the 400 AMP alternator. It does not put out 400 AMP at idle. I think it is approximately 200 AMP. It should pull more HP as you increase the electric load. (I have a 50 HP Diesel motor with a 42 KW head on it). 50 HP will not run a 42 KW head at full load. It should...

I plan to do the same in my cab. 2 Air ride seats and maybe a Cooler or Small fridge as the center console. Good for snacking on long drives. As far as the battery trays. Very nice, but pricy! Nothing that is RV related is cheap. :beer:

I have been thinking of how to tackle the battery relocation on my truck. I was planning to relocate the batteries to the tool box below the passenger door. I wanted to be able to use 4 batteries not 2. I realized after measuring the batteries in my Crown Vic that i could get 4 of the same...

I have not seen one in person, but they look a lot smaller than the 400 AMP version. So they may fit (may need a different bracket) without major modifications. I saw some on line but a lot more than i paid for the 400 AMP version.

I managed to install new LED headlights on my latest truck. Need to finish the hardtop. Sand, seal, prime and paint the hardtop Desert Sand color. Still waiting on news about the trailer hitch and alternator mod.

Went to NAPA and picked up 4 diaphragms Type 12 for my trucks. Ended up getting a discount so $4.50 each. Using a 3/8" ratchet with a deep 1/2" socket and a 1/2" closed end wrench I removed the bolt from the bottom of the retaining ring on the brake canister. Once the bolt was removed I...

I have been reading up on air brakes and how they function so I can fix the air leak in my braking system. I was loosing a lot of air from the secondary air tank when I depressed the brake peddle and then the Primary tank would start to drain as well. We shut off the secondary air tank by...

You might be in some of them if I can talk you into helping me install the M109 box on my M923 truck. :tank:

I think I saw your design in another thread. I am not sure you are aware that the holes that hold the mud flaps on the M931 are not there on all M931 nor on the M923 trucks. I had to add the holes and the mud flap mount brackets on my M931. Here is an updated drawing in which i added a back...

Here is a sketch for a hitch assembly for my M923 truck that I came up with. It utilizes 8 existing bolts already on the cross-member of the truck (2 bumperett bolts and 2 bolts under the cross-member on each side of the pintle mount). It is designed to fit around the existing Pintle mount.
