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.
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...
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...

Touch a Truck

Cape Coastie M923
Good Evening All,
Hope all is going well for everyone. My entry this month is my 1984 AM General M923. When I first saw it back in May it had no engine or transmission in it. Made a deal and bought the truck. We swapped and engine and trans combo that came out of a...
