Alright, I tried the search for this but didn't have any luck; my apologies if there already multiple similar threads out there that are along the same lines as this. I'm looking into saving an M939 from a local junk yard. I'm going to look at it in detail on Friday or Monday hopefully but in...

Might be able to piece together one good one out of several... We'll see how this one of mine goes...

They're cutting up good trucks? What a shame. Will they sell them whole? Ran into a former classmate today who had some (optimistic) insight. Of course this was a quick conversation in passing in the cafeteria but he said they're decent people to deal with, and also that it definitely wasn't...

Rockwell-C60, are they still parting out a bunch of 939's at that Flitz Tire place? Any still intact?

Frankly, it could be awhile! That said I may try to also somehow store some of my other junk in the truck, thereby eliminating the other $50/month mini storage unit I have.

One piece of good news (maybe the cards are in my favor?): Had some downtime this afternoon between homework assignments I can't complete yet (assignments not open, technical issues) so I at least got to call just about every storage yard in the Fairbanks-North Pole area. Found one I can...

I'd do my homework on current scrap value that day before going...but like I said it's not as relevant in my local area...

Someone mentioned 20,000 lbs at the shredder. One interesting environmental factor in my area is that there is no place around here that cashes out for steel (stainless, copper, etc yes, but not steel). Hence the back roads are littered with project cars and the...

Yeah, and before I even think of any kind of price haggling I need to go look at it again for sure!

Latest funny twist of fate: I was on the way to the doctor this morning (a referral, so a part of town I don't usually go). Spotted a M939 series cargo of some type at what I later figured out was the local franchise of a particular popular chain "pull-your-parts-off" junkyard; visible from...

I guess it means these trucks are THAT common- you can buy parts/manuals for them on Amazon.

I second others' words- I bought a copy of the -10 of of Amazon of all places!

Love watching these trucks work!

Looking good, Twisted60! I like how you've kept the cab mostly stock despite adding accessories. Mine I may be getting is also likely going to be a daily driver, so a stereo for instance might be nice.

First of all, welcome to the site! A little more background- Originally AM General had the contract to produce the M939 series trucks starting in 1982, had G177 duals (or NDTs in some cases I believe). Later, around 1985 or 1986, the M939A1 came about, with 14R20 "Super Single" tires and rims...

So are they gonna send her to the crusher?

155mm, did you scrap it?

Wes, I thought that place in Marshfield was just parting out a bunch of 939's, when the price of scrap goes up they get cut up? Re: the original post, yes, the market is rather high now. An M928A2 is the premium of the crop, XLWB and a winch. I myself would kill for one, but they are pretty...

Welcome! As a teenager, I was determined to buy a Deuce as my first vehicle, so I can relate to your feeling in terms of storage and the like. Even now, as a broke college student, I still want an M939 series, even though I have nowhere to park it nearby. That said, you'll probably find a...

Welcome!
