I just wanted to tell everybody about a recent experience I had with GL. I do this in hopes that I can keep others from getting charged too much for what you bid on and won. It all started yesterday. I bid on and won two trucks in Ft. Polk Louisiana. Naturally I get my invoice today and it shows...
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to share the details of the recent battery relocation mod that I have done to my M923A2. I started out with a M923A2 that I have a really nice set of air ride seats to install in. I first needed to relocate the batteries to the outside of the cab. I have seen...
Hello Everybody,
I have a M925 truck that has a NHC-250 cummins in it that I am experiencing a fueling issue with. Whenever I press the pedal to accelerate and then let off, the engine continues to go up in rpms and/or is very slow to come back down to idle. This problem gets more severe as the...

Hello again everyone. I seen some M929s sell at Ft. Riley today with a different type of bed on them. I noticed that the sides were taller and they did not have a tail gate. They also seem to be very heavily built. Does anyone have any info on what these beds were designed for and if they were...
Hello again everyone, I have a small problem. I went outside this morning and started my M35a2 up and moved it a few feet to clear my shop door. It started right up and ran perfectly. I moved it and shut it down just like normal. Later on, I get in it to move it back to where it was and it will...
Hello,
I seem to be having trouble with the tachometer/speedometer on my newly acquired M915. When I first got the truck, the tachometer/speedometer was disconnected. Now that Ive reconnected it, the speedometer needle will jump from zero to 30mph and then back down to zero about every three...
Hey guys, I have witnessed something here recently that has really stirred my curiosity. I work at a military installation here in southeast oklahoma and I regularly see up-armored M939 series trucks and FMTVs come in to be cut up at our local DRMO facility. My relatives actually work at the...
Hey guys, I just wanted to show off an experiment I did to try and get a M105 to look right behind one of my M923's with 53's on it. This is how it came out. The trailer is using converted HEMTT wheels with 395/85/R20 Michelin MVT's. The combo tows well and I have really come to like the way it...
Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction in getting a top over my 923 before this fall/winter. It doesn't have any of the hardware for a soft top and Ive had no luck finding the hardware or a hard top. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys,
I just recently picked up a M923 at auction. The thing is that it doesn't have a top or bows. I was just wondering if one could fabricate the soft top bows or would one be better off trying to find a set? I know that the M939 series tops wider than the Deuce tops and both the soft top...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Pending the outcome of an auction. Is there anyone in Oklahoma that would be kind enough to let be borrow, or sell me a tow bar for a deuce. I would need it somewhere in the time frame of July 10-11. If it comes down to borrowing one, I would gladly leave a deposit to...
Ok, Im here on Camp Andaconda, AKA Balad, Iraq. I have noticed a few m35's running about, and I decided to snap a few pictures of the old steel veterans. Most of them are still in the original configuration. Although if you look closely at the black one with the star, you can see that they have...
Hi guys, I recently came across a 68' M35a2 last week, and just had to have it.I've been stalking one for awhile. So, now it sits in my driveway along with the growing collection of OD Iron. The TM's and members on this site are very helpful, and the info contained here was priceless in the safe...
Well, Since I've been hanging around here for sometime, and I purchased my first Deuce last week. I figured I should finally introduce myself. So, to all you guys and gal's out there, Howdy! from southeast Oklahoma.
