    questions about m923a1

    Good afternoon Gray, I just taped up the lights and the windows and went to town with a brush and a roller straight out of the can! Coming out pretty good so far. Not a show truck but that is not what I am looking for.

    questions about m923a1

    Hey gray, I am still in the process of painting mine. I have completed pretty much everything forward of the bed and a few other items, back bumpers, mud flaps, etc. Haven't had time to complete yet. You can see the difference in the color between the bed and cab if you look close. I used...

    questions about m923a1

    Hey gray, welcome to the 5 ton club! I was watching that auction and thought that truck looked pretty nice. I have a 1984 M923 that has super singles. I love the cummins nhc250. Do the engine dual fuel line modification as it seems to help smooth out the idle. Several threads about it on...

    Blow Torch with my little Homelight Generator

    There are several good videos on YouTube and I am sure there are written or copied to the web. Search " how to operate or use an antique blow torch". Very interesting playing with them just be careful!

    Blow Torch with my little Homelight Generator

    I have an old mechanics book that has the procedures for running these but it is a little lengthy. May be easier to search online. The hook on top is to hold the shaft of a soldering iron and that will allow the head to be positioned in the flame. Like the photo above.

    Blow Torch with my little Homelight Generator

    Looks like the old soldering torches that I have. They run on gasoline and I am sure you can find instructions and videos on how to light and run them online.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey Ahab, I think I read that in "Highlights" magazine while I was waiting in the dentist office when I was a kid rofl. Actually it said "parents keep an eye on your kids when they are in someone else's truck"!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Touch a Truck Took her to a "Touch a Truck" event for a local fund raiser. Just a note, if you attend one of these events keep the kids out of the cab as possibly the emergency engine stop will get pulled and not seen by the owner making for a difficult start situation:doh: Don't ask how I...
