m932a2 w/cargo bed

Bolkbich · Feb 8, 2012

Heres some pics of my m932a2 with a 11 ft cargo bed. Its just about the same lenth as my m35a3. Ive got a 24v hoist on the way. We didnt cut out the middle of the bed , we cut the end off and rewelded it. Ive been wanting to do this for years. Ive got 16.00's for it but i think it looks ok as is.

i really debated doing the same thing with my M818. I kinda wish I did...but then I ended up selling her off.

Nice looking rig.

Why is a 1ft shorter bed an improvement?

Now wedge a Knuckleboom between the cab and front of bed and that's where I'll be in a few months hopefully. I was looking at doing something similar with a 5 ton dropside bed too since I had already cut down a deuce dropside for my other crane truck. I like it...I may have a little more overhang on the rear even though the tractor frames are short. We'll see...

Sure hope to see your truck or trucks

at the NJ MTA show in April

mtaofnj.org is the web site and all info can be had there, please accept this as a personal invite from Me and newmvguy ... Beautiful truck great job

And i agree the 1400s are way cooler for my eyes on these trucks and look perfect on yours... 2cents

Makes one heck of a departure angle.

It is 3 feet shorter. M923 beds are 14 foot.

3' is the easiest mod too by taking one full side panel off of the dropsides...

I am finishing a drop side deuce bed install shortened 3'. I will post mine shortly. I like the look and utility of the shorter truck with a bed.

jwaller · Feb 9, 2012

Looks good ted, keep up the good work. did you keep the air lines behind the cab to be used in the bed? that might be useful for something.

Hey John Im going to run the lines to the back and switch them to the glad hand lines that are there already that way when i pull a tag along trailer i have a tractor protection valve and a trolley valve. Its true you cant have too much air supply.

I like the deuce bed thats what i wanted. But i ended up with a 5 ton so i went with it.
