Had a really good one today. (Well, three things actually). Helping fellow member with their truck. (M923A2). Go to check fluids before trying to start for the first time in several months. Check fluids. Realize the past several times I've been doing this WRONG. Truck had historically...

I've had so many crazy ideas like this as of late myself...

I once looked at rescuing an M925 (Who later turned out to have a loving owner and was not left for dead in the junkyard she was at) and remember the thought of "When the weather warms up, I am sick with anticipation and dread at trying to have her make smoke and noise for the first time".

You must be pretty excited. It's a defining moment when you can make one of these run again.

Glad to hear. Any idea when she might first make smoke and noise?

That's a good sign...she WANTS to run....

Agreed. They are fun trucks, even bone stock. I admit I have been considering getting another to drive daily at first, but eventually part out for the axles to put under something else. With that said, in bone stock form the M939 series 5 ton truck is what I would consider one of the best...

I've been waiting a few days to post my response as I wanted to allow others who knew Ron personally to express their condolences first, and also wanted to fully process what happened myself. Although I never met Ron personally, I read many of his threads/posts and as soon as I learned of his...

Recently, there was the suggestion posed elsewhere on the site that there should be some sort of a thread for this, so I figured I'd take the initiate it and broach the subject. Here are some of my really good stories, in roughly chronological order. Rkrug- Met up in Sitka, Alaska. Later went...

it's settled...I would like to armor mine now...

Let's see some pictures! Looks like a USMC truck? Was this a civillian build? I myself have had crazy ideas for armoring my M928A1.

Welcome! I friended you on Facebook awhile ago. That's a solid, good looking truck! Well taken care of, it should last another 32 years easily.

Following!

OK! Latest plan of attack is to sell or scrap the funky fire department bed on the truck. It's custom built so I don't see much market for it, sadly. My plans are to either (1) find a proper 20' bed or (2) make an R/V out of it.
