    M939 cab armor kit

    No laughing at all sir. It get hot in Texas. If I have a cool armored 5-ton cab to crawl into on a hot summer day, I would find any excuse to do so.

    First purchase of an MV, M931A2, questions to ask, things to check/ first inspection.

    It doesn't look that bad over all.. I agree on the tires, I would change them out sooner than later if I bought it.. Rear springs look correct to be 5-ton fronts originally. It started life off at a M931a2 tractor that is why it has twin fuel tanks and no bumperetts. Frame appears to be stock...
