Looking good! I myself have a soft spot for the extra long trucks, and just recently almost bought an M55 gasser.

I loved driving the one I had the privilege of driving. Great old truck!

Welcome! I had some of my first driving lessons in an M929 dumper. Love those trucks.

Someone and I used an M923A2's bed as a way of making an extension ladder a few feet taller once...I love showing people those pictures just to watch their reactions.

Looking good! I am in lust for one day acquiring an M936...

Is that an ISO bed truck?

I know several cases where guys ended up owning their former assigned truck as a civillian, or know who does, or would give ANYTHING to have their former assigned truck back. (In one case the guy swore to me in no uncertain terms he would make his old M936A1 his daily driver). I've actually...

A thing of beauty...

This is the truck on the "M939 Series 5 ton" Facebook group cover photo right?

Interesting! Mine is an A1 but lacks the ABS as well. We think it was a really early release, maybe prior to 1999 when the Army started retrofitting ABS into M939 series trucks. It's on NDTs but I think it actually had singles originally. Came from a Texas fire department. Original bed is...

Very nice! I commend you for working to rescue the 932 vs just parting it out as many would do, being the rare model that it is. I have an M928A1 that looks literally in about that same condition...

If I can acquire the one I have a lead on, I'd love to restore her as well.

This is perplexing! '68 sounds like an M51 though. She's 50 years old yet going strong nevertheless. What are your plans for her?

Weird things tend to happen to me involving MVs...go figure...

Yep, that's her pedigree alright! Any idea on a year? Any other pix?

Hey Pontiac, it would possibly involve working on some M939s! Interestingly, on a whim I posted on one of the local Facebook gossip groups asking about the truck and "ran into" none other than the guy who later installed the lockers. Small world...

OK! End of the story. Turned out the truck had a loving owner and wasn't left for dead. So although I didn't acquire it, the story has a happy ending. It ended up being a really nice M925, albeit buried in snow at the time. Believe it or not, relating this story later landed me a connection...

Pardon the awful screnshot of a photo taken during an inspection by fellow member Lindsey97...

I've typed out a letter I'll stick in the mail to the address introducing myself and expressing interest. My biggest assumptions are that it lacks a title and it's in nonrunning condition, but we'll see. Worst case, it's a good parts truck.

LOL at the Detroit 2 stroke oil leaking thing, as I ran a WWII power scow that had a couple 6-71s that we joked were "self-basting".
