    Specific insurance question for clasic/historic tag

    I did a search already and saw at lease 5 locked posts...This is a specific question after making several calls to many insurance co. First every company is saying an M923 has to be insured as a commercial vehicle because of the 21,000 lb weight. If I register this as a historic vehicle does it...

    Question #3 Since the M923 doesn't have ABS breaks. Can you put it in neutral and then lock the breakes w/o the motor turning of losing power steering? I have read a few posts that suggested this but never got an answer.

    #2 Question I have searched lockers and I don't think M923s have them. Also I learned that you don't want to weld the spider gears because the truck is heavy and can cause damage to the axle. Also I believe they don't make Air lockers for the 5 tons. So do they make E lockers or is a Detroit...

    #1 Question I'm thinking ahead about potential problems. Since its automatic the main concern is that I can't PUSH start it. You cant go from neutral to drive and jump start it ... correct? So, if the starter goes I wont be able to use it. If the batteries go I still should be able to...

    Bulb part number for light? Picture insided

    what light part number fits this light. I know it's an enclosed or sealed 24v bulb but need the part number. I believe GE makes it. It has 3 prongs that it plugs into on the inside of the case. The third picture has the 3 prongs that the bulb inserts to. Does anyone know? Do they make a LED...

    Water fording kit for 5 Ton

    I don't plan on going through water but I would like to know the trucks limits in case I do. I read those threads and when I had my deuce it was easy enough to make a fording kit. But, on the 5 ton I'm not sure. It doesn't make sense to put the air intake above the cab which is standard on the...
