Looks mean!

For me, mine needs a desk, considering I'm still a college student. LOL. I like the M909 idea, I may consider setting up that way if I don't find an M927 or M928 to build a box in the bed of.

Fascinating! I, too, would like to do something like this, but I'm leaning toward building a box in the bed of an M927 or M928.

Yeah, I saw that, welcome to the madness! Living in it helps justify owning one of these fine trucks, and I just plain wanted a 927 or a 928, they're kinda rare too.

So...I had an even crazier idea. What if I lived in one of these long term, tiny home style? As long as I was single and didn't have kids I'd probably save a ton in terms of mortgage or rent payments over the course of a good chunk of my lifetime...which means...more money for M939s!

Hey Spectra3279, I'm also curious as someone who will be owning an M923 in CA as well.

Alright, might be a few months but will try to get a better photo; if I could score it for 500 bucks I just might. Like I said it'd be mainly to sell at cost to someone else.

That's not bad at all for 12v! Could leave the lights on and not have a dead battery the next morning, with the batteries these trucks have. You got all 4 batteries, or 2, or just 2 8Ds? In Fairbanks, AK winters I'll definitely need all 4 batteries, 2 won't cut it. I may put a solar...

I'm pretty sure it didn't. Are M52s more common?

Good point, knowing LED technology...I'll probably stick with the cab and maybe the bed. Having a light in the cab must be a wonderful upgrade, any idea on current draw?

I was thinking LED tape light myself. Super versatile stuff. I'd like to keep mine mostly stock appearance wise but the in-cab lighting is a great idea, as is for the bed. (Gotta get bows and a cargo cover first). Although, at first I may be living in the bed, in something more...

Yeah, I'm getting one with the 855 Cummins, thirsty beast but I don't care...small price to keep one of these on the road.

Looks great! I like the in-cab lighting idea, I'd consider doing that. Yours a daily driver, judging by the lighting?

This is the one bad picture I have of it, gotta look closely.

TwistedOaks, someone on the Steel Soldiers Facebook group told me a similar story, they met a guy who probably built his very truck he has, was an interesting conversation.

Edit/update: I also looked on Google Streetview, which around my area hasn't been updated since July, 2011 (and is thus actually helpful for seeing what usto be in a given place 6 years ago or even 10 years ago if I scale it back to 2007) and it wasn't there yet. So it either drove there or...

Very nice! When I get mine, I, too, intend on doing this kind of thing. Love making new MV enthusiasts, I've managed to get people hooked before, telling them about Deuces and 5 tons.

Long story... So last fall while walking/jogging around exploring some unpaved dead-end back roads outside Fairbanks (more like Ester) I spotted a M275 (or maybe it's an M48) sitting in a yard full of old semi's, trailers, dead pickups, and the like. I thought "That'd be an interesting one to...

Very nice! Keep us posted!

Interesting! Mine wouldn't be "commercial" per se, just frankly a daily driver and also off road/mud toy, but CA thinks of just about everything triple-axle as commercial, even a Deuce!
