Chris, I was poking around on Joe Czarnik's( or however he spells his name), and he has some NOS brake actuators for the M939's.
Just an FYI

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Odds are actually decent they were heading for Ft. Pickett. Were they headed up 460, or 58? There's a big lake out there in the middle of the firing range that the Navy borrows for target practice with their patrol boats. I was up there doing bridge inspections a few years ago and you could hear the 50's and 30's on the patrol boat over the hill. Pretty interesting.Nice! Thanks Adam. I saw one similar to that going down the highway near here. It had a big crew-cab International 4x4 pulling it.![]()
Ah, that makes sense. I have seen them coming and going on 58 near Franklin so they were probably coming back from Pickett.Odds are actually decent they were heading for Ft. Pickett.

Impressive project you've taken on! That kind of thing is the sort of "save" you can be proud of. I'd love to get a peek sometime if I'm not stuck under one of my own (much smaller) current projects. Where is this magical place full of trucks where you have it stashed? I'm pretty new to the board, and don't have a green truck yet.![]()
It sure is! It's a rusty, crusty, greasy, diamond-in-the-rough! Just when I think I am making some headway, I find 14 other things that need done. I have to-do lists for my to-do lists! It can be a little frustrating when I go down with the intention of doing 3 or 4 projects only to find that 3 or 4 more need done in order to do the others. I'm hanging in there though. My wife, not so much. She keeps asking when it will be fit enough to drive home. I honestly tell her that I don't know yet.I'll say it again, a heck of a project Chris! I have been meaning to get pictures of the parts M925 down in Mt Airy, but then again, you don't appear to have much trouble finding what you need.
The truck in Mt Airy is in pieces, with that big engine on the ground, PTO sitting on top of the transmission getting corroded, a real shame actually. Compared to my 5-tonner, it should be in its own class, more like 7 ton...
That's a good plan. Too bad the door fell of the closest one. May have to move into the next one back. I can't believe we've been wrenching on this thing for a year now.Now that the bees are mostly gone maybe you can reclaim the nearby connex for Winter work! We had it going on last year with a kero heater or LP torpedo running in it.
Thanks. I am hoping to knock a few things out on Sunday. A work session report will be posted with pics of course!nice build man i wanna see this thing completed !!!
