No, haven't mounted the box yet. Still figuring out how I want to tackle that. Leaning towards something like this.

We're heading down to Barstow tomorrow to pick-up these 5-tons and we're planning on putting our truck in the back of one of them to get it home. Have to make sure the front bumper is tall enough to clear the front bulkhead because if we can't the truck all the way forward, the rear tires would...

Received a PM from another member who took a measurement for me, and he said the bed height appears to be right around 59" - with the disclaimer that his truck wasn't sitting on flat/level ground. if I put the M109 box on top of the cargo bed, would end up being right around 12.5ft tall. For the...

If I remember right, the M109 boxes are right around 7.5ft tall from the bottom of the skids to the top of the roof. It'll be under 13.5ft, just wondering by how much.

So it's just over 11ft tall with an M109 box installed directly on top of the framerails, with 1" wood strips? Plus the cargo bed height, which can't be more than another foot or so, and... I think that might work. Can anybody tell me how high the cargo bed sits above the framerails?

Thanks Zout. How tall is your AC unit? Trying to figure out if I can get away with putting the M109 box on top of the cargo bed.

Quick question - What's the bed height on the M923A2 trucks? Don't have one to measure here, thanks.

...and time. Lots of time.

Oh no no no, not ditching anything! Just adding another truck to the convoy and shuffling things around to make the best use of resources. Little bit more of an explanation here.

Figured it was a longshot, but had to ask. Maybe I can modify them to sit a little further out? Not a real big deal either way, but am really liking the idea of putting the box on top of the cargo bed and rigging some kind of jacks that would enable me to load/unload it relatively easily. Not...

How wide is dropside cargo bed on a M923A2? Interested in the inside and outside dimensions. Wondering if there's any chance I'll be able to mount the M109 box on top of the cargo bed without removing the dropsides. Not a big deal either way, but would be super cool if I could keep them. Not...

Bought an M923A2 today. Gonna plop my M109 box on the back of it, maybe on top of the dropside cargo bed? Then probably bob mah deuce and put an M105A3 bed and helmet hardtop on the back of it.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Think I know about as much as I need to now, in order to be able to make some informed decisions about how to proceed with this project. Much appreciated.

This is where you lost me zout. When you first came to this forum and started posting, you added a lot of value, with thoughtful and helpful posts. You were sharing a lot of information about your projects with all of us. The apparent change in your attitude more recently stands in glaring...

Wow, nevermind. There was no useful information shared in that thread and zout made it pretty clear that wasn't an accident. Enjoyed watching him build that M109, but he can take that attitude a shove it. Would really appreciate any helpful information anyone might be able and willing to share...

Thanks! Hadn't seen that one. Wondering about swapping onto a shorter tractor truck though. Can anyone help me out with some dimensions or anything like that?

M109 box on M939 Seriously thinking about swapping my M109 box over onto an M939, Would probably prefer a cargo truck, but the tractors are selling a lot cheaper and the shorter overall length is kinda appealing. Have been searching and reading, wondering though, how it would all line-up...
