My new M923 A1

At first glance I thought you also got a M936 wrecker! Looks good though! How soon do you anticipate having it done and the bed back on?

Might also be picking up a M923 myself, that used to belong to the San Luis Obispo/Camp Roberts Nat'l Guard. It was probably here the whole time I was, and turned in about the same time I moved to Sitka/PA. Sits in a friend/fellow SS member's backyard in Atascadero. Definitely feels like the right truck/situation for my first, for one thing it's from where I'm from.

Finally got some time to get the crane working, got all of the hoses and fittings in as well as a 40 gpm valve to split between the winch and crane, only problem was that the base plate i ordered for the tank was way to big so I just made one to use until I can get the right size. I removed all of the wiring harnesses and bypassed the electronic safety valve, will work on the electronic controls in the future as well as finishing the outriggers, also need to get a throttle system put together to bump up the rpms.

Getting some use out of the crane, still need to install the outriggers and clean up the hydraulic installation.
