    Crew Cab 5 Ton Modification Q&A

    I have also looked over every Crew cab conversion I can find. I also have made my mind up that Fabing the extra room would be the best plan, also leaning to sticking with 2 doors with the large extension behind. Another idea I am throwing around is a full replacement cab. Like you said the OEM...

    12R20s

    I have had problems finding 12x20s NDTs, I do believe they are on the same budd wheels as a standard M809series 5-tons (also A0 M939series) maybe someone on here has a honey hole somewhere and will chime in.

    Extremely Negative Experience - Jared at Ft Carson CO

    I am sorry to hear about this. All it takes is a little person with a speck of power to $&#$ up a easily rectified situation. It sounds like you contacted the main office and they did no better to fix the problem.. Good customer service or any customer service is truly a surprise not expected...

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 "Conventional" Alternator Bracket P/N

    If you Lengthen the OEM Lower Bracket it will allow you to use the Factory Belt and keep the whole fleet on the same belts. Better interchange of parts if you have multiple trucks or travel a lot. It really only helps if you have multiple trucks. I also am a big fan of the 21si Alternators...

    M923a2 war wagon

    I am sure with CMS Davis there is some more goodies being add. Time will tell all... I have a little project along the same line. It is a good place to start. I personally am loving the Mix matched door and red primer spots on this truck.. Looks like an old war horse already.
