    MX-7777 to RT-524 to VIC-1 Cables

    As far as the bed spacer if you can sell it at the rally go for it. I can always find one later.

    M52 Markings

    Sounds good. I may need to borrow some stencils in the future then.

    MX-7777 to RT-524 to VIC-1 Cables

    You sold me an antenna so I'm good there and I found some cables for a decent price. Cable wise I think the only one I need is the interconnect for the VIC-1 to RT-524.

    M52 Markings

    Cool. I still plan on marking my new truck with Marine Corps markings. I will definitly need some stencils when the time comes. The only one it seems like may be difficult to find is the "M" that is correct. I'm sure though one can be made using a current stencil set.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    With as much as you have Jimmy Hoffa is a possibility. I'm looking right now to figure a good spot for the VIC-1 in the cab.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    Nice setup. I might just have to look for a boat boarding ladder now. I like how it folds up nicely and is out of the way when the tailgate is up.

    24V to 12V power converter

    I will definitly be waiting and watching for a bunch of the stuff I need for my truck. Thanks for the input on what brands to look at!!

    24V to 12V power converter

    Definitly. Whenever you are back in town let me know and we can try to get up with him.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    No rush on either. I'm not rushing to get it done. Just my overall plans for it. As far as the MX-7777 I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it. I just know from what I have been reading in the electronics section it is a good idea to have for any electronics.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    I did see the boxes you have in the "What have you done to your 5 ton" thread and it is a nice looking set up. I will most likely go that route. I definitely want something with individual drawers for tools, and also a large box for chains, ropes, etc. As far as the electrical, that's what I...

    24V to 12V power converter

    I want to get a converter to step down to 12v DC for accessories. What is a good brand and size to look at? Obviously I would want something that can handle a decent load so if I add several items (lights, 12v power outlets, radio, possibly a CB, etc.) in the future it can handle all of it...

    M923A2 Aquisition

    So Friday 10/10/15 I took possession of a 1989 BMY M923A2 :naner:. I have to say going from a 1965 M52A2 to this is a HUGE upgrade in my opinion. I know there are some who will argue that it isn't a total upgrade since I lost the multifuel capability, but since I don't have a way to easily...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I purchased the truck from another member here who already had the title. Once I had the title it was not too hard. Even though it isn't necessary I was at a truck stop with a scale and went ahead and got a weight on the truck. Last one I registered the tax office wanted an official weight so...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Took possession of my M923A2 this morning. Spent the day getting it insured and registered. Now it's legal and ready to hit the road.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Kind of a sad day, but also an awesome day yesterday. Sold my M52A2 and purchased a M923A2. Should have it in my possession a week from today. I have a RT-524 and VIC-1 to install along with LED headlights. Then the real fun will start with accessories.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That's what I would like is an A2. First thing I need to do though is get my M52 sold. It is a good truck, but I don't have the room for 2 at the house.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I know what you're saying. For what I want an MV for a 900 series will work better for me I think. I think a cargo truck (923 or 925) will be my best option. I'm not too worried about the multifuel since I really don't have a way to clean and use WMO. I know there are other fuel options, but...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Posted mine for sale. Looking to upgrade to a 900 series.

    Turn Signal Question

    I will check it tomorrow and see. That is the one thing that I haven't tried yet. My thought though is if it didn't have a good ground it wouldn't light up at all. Still worth a try to see if I can get working flashers. I will keep my fingers crossed that it takes care of the problem...

    Turn Signal Question

    Ok, I know there are quite a few threads on issues with turn signals especially after converting to LED's and I have read them and am still stuck and cant figure out where to go from here. I have all of my lights (front turn signals, tail lights, and head lights) converted to LED's and my turn...
