Edit: Wrong truck.
I'll help if needed. I may be down near Roseburg that weekend, depends on the weather, I will PM you my phone number there as well.
You've done lots of recoveries, so you know this, but the one thing you are likely to need if the batteries are good, is fuel filters. Stuff...
I was thinking about this earlier today, considering cutting up a good truck wheel. You don't need to. All you would need to do is take a couple of, say 3/8" x 1 1/2" flat bar. Drill or burn holes in them for two studs and weld them in a V configuration down to the base of the transmission jack...
I have years of experience designing and retrofitting industrial control systems from the ground up. I have looked at process lines that weren't working correctly, interviewed the operator and designed new control systems that would make the process equipment do what the operator specified.

I've had an idea rattling around my head for a couple of months. I am exploring the feasibility of eliminating electronic controls from my M923 5-Ton cargo truck. I like the simplicity of the deuce and think it is possible to replicate that system on most 939 series trucks.

Well you didn't ask me specifically, but if you want to run chains on all six you are going to have to go with 1400.20 or smaller tires. There is just no way to run chains on the rears of the five ton with 1600.20 tires.
As for buying chains, Laclede in Hillsboro Oregon makes great custom...
The beige I did is not a CARC tan equivalent. I don't care much for that tan and I didn't mix it up for painting a whole vehicle. It is only for a background to paint vehicle numbers on.
I matched it to a very common color used for that on a lot of trucks I have seen. I like it but might...
This thread is a classic example of why spelling, grammar, and punctuation are important, and why the spelling police are so strident about it.
Do not even use "either" in your motor, ever. Either that or learn to spell simple words that you really need to know like "ether" which is what is in...
