I have a sudden interest in the M880 series of trucks. The one I am looking at may need a fender and a door. What is the corresponding civilian truck model number?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Radiogeek99,Thanks for the info. Hey MatthewH, How do you like the M887? thats the truck I am looking into getting. Have always wanted a m1031 but they are just too expensive.
That was probibly mine. I started a thread last year about swapping a 1st gen cummins into my M887. Project stalled for awhile, but back onto it this winter. I'll revive that old thread as stuff happens.Thanks for your opinion. I am surprised at how heavy it is, that would definatly change my plan to retrieve it if it works out. I think my trailer is only good for 7000. I have seem a thread where someone was going to convert to diesel with a newer cummins. Thanks again!
I was suprised how peppy the truck was after I removed the box one summer, even with the 37"HMMWV tires.Good luck with your endeavor. As a former M887 owner I can attest to their weight. The SECM body itself probably weighs less than the genset/welder. I ended up splitting mine and put the body on a trailer frame. Worked out nice but in the end, I got rid of the way heavy Hobart.
