great job westech, with an initial investment of a couple grand and a scrap value of more than that drive it like you stole it... You can't loose no matter what all of the "professionals" on here seem to think!! :beer:

by the way, that is NOT the final cut to the frame, just a rough cut to remove the axles, wont know where the final will be till the bed is on the truck and moved around a bit.

is everyone forgetting that the 920 is a 20 ton rated truck??? not saying that the people on here do not have valid points but I see redneck tow truck setups on everyday 1 ton trucks and 5th wheel mounted wrecker systems that sell for $15k and no one says " oh your trucks not up to it!"...

I am pretty sure my truck is the only crane on a 920 you will find, I think it is safe to say that with the relatively "new" nature of this truck that it most likely has not been done yet. Links below show the build.

yes it will fit, will have to put the intercooler in front of the radiator, I have helped with a cummins 6cta and they are pretty much the same dimensions.

Pretty sure the 915 already has 4.30's or 4.88's stock, its the final drive on the transmission that makes them slower.

Soni was contemplating making some that bolt on and off to make long road hauls better but nothing that is a twist on off type that I have found.

look like 12.5R20's Michelin XL's

block and tackle, gloves, yank strap, chain, etc.

I agree if he ever finishes it, I am for hire I will knock it out in no time for the right price.8)

nice, I like the Generator mount on the side, I want to do something like that to my M920 and add a hydraulic motor to power a rotary air compressor from my hydraulic system to it. I have an in for a 9 series 5 ton hydraulic winch that I plan on adding to her this winter as well. Looks great.

sounds like an icy hot night after sitting in it let alone driving it any distance.

as far as the softer ride, I would get an air ride seat and I usually use 2.5 ton front springs to soften the rear, if you take leaves out of the front then you lose capacity for the 3k lbs engine that sits on top of them. I have done air bags in the rear and it works nice, a bit more money...

you ask nicely:mrgreen:

Hi John, yes I have followed a couple of your builds on them, I have even photoshop'd one of them for some different idea's of my own, yours were an inspiration for this one. Thanks again.

Well I finally got a chance to rebuild the fan clutch assembly and it was not as bad as I had thought. The M920( I assume the 916 is the same, the 915's I have seen have a normally closed clutch so a different rebuild kit) has a EVANS FC200017 Fan clutch, I have confirmed this with other...

Ok Guys, this thread is a teaser of what is to come over the next few weeks, SS Member Ranchand and I bought an M812 Bridge Truck that was a fire dept use rig that has been highly cannibalized so it is not worth trying to rebuild. It has an old school boyce equipment one piece top, windshield...

I am going to do a build like this for myself one of these days, keep up the good work.
