Default M915 Cargo conversion

Pics of what this looks like. Looks a little like a smaller MTVR. Not exactly in love with this. The bed hangs over the back of the frame considerably. Thanks to SS member PUZZLED for the bed from his about to be bobbed deuce.

The concept here is to be a flat-tow rig with cargo area for ballast.

I liked Dorkfarmall's M950 (915+35). Then he went and sold it.

I like it. I also think I would like it more with duals. More pics please....
Time for a repaint? Keep us updated.

Everyone says the .50cal is the best anti-vehicle gun, but the truth is, if you shoot a .50cal through an engine block, you're not actually going to stop the vehicle, at least not right away. The fluids will leak out and eventually it will stop. But it is not instant by any means. A .338 or even a .300 will do the same thing. No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that can be done with any number of weapons. -Chris Kyle, "American Sniper"

You could convert it to a weed burner and move the bed forward a bid so that the axles are close to where the duece axles were and extend the frame a bit. What trans is in you m915?

I think it looks good. Would make a nice dump set up with the frame rails being short.

Thanks everyone. Yes, dump, 395's and paint are in the plans! 319, thanks for posting that pic of Doc's "950". I had never seen that. Looks like he straight piped his to make room to move the bed up 6". That makes for a noisy ride.

Sorry, don't remember whose hooch that is. It was at Haspin in 2011. hdexpert, Docfarmall, Kipman, Junkyard Wars Crusher, or Gimpyrobb may know.
