For yours, probably about 1983, that's when the M939 series started. An M809 or Deuce hard top won't fit- the cabs weren't as wide.

Haha, I'm used to dealing with rusty tanks in marine environments where fuel filters plugged up routinely, NASTY stuff draining those off.

Wes, I'm just curious as a newbie, isn't it not always necessarily a "bad" thing having poor pickup? I'd think it could alleviate sucking sediment/junk into your filters, it would naturally settle to the bottom of the tank and stay there. Of course I'm sure a rough drive on a dirt road could...

He's helped me as well, great guy. Walked me through the process of buying an M939 at auction and even looked at the listing for the one I was bidding on and was able to suggest what to be prepared to fix. Definitely helped me quite a bit!

Too bad this isn't next year, otherwise I'd try to convoy up with you in mine!

Congrats! Already saw on the M939 Facebook group you made it, glad to hear she's home!

Congrats on the new acquisition, fine looking truck! Yeah, the odometer reading is often really nothing, they got swapped all the time, especially if a new engine was put in, I've talked to ex motor pool guys who remember seeing M939s on their FIFTH engine, no joke! I might be picking up one...

Looks great! I like the tailgate...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers, and thank you for your service! Good luck on your truck search! There's usually at least one in the classifieds on here.

Can't wait to do both of those when I pick mine up, hopefully at the end of this year.

Socommfg, how so? Playing in the mud?

Wheel hubs?

Very nice! I might borrow your idea for relocating the batteries in the M923 I might be getting, but at the same time I'm torn since they're high and dry in the cab, and I intend on going mudding somewhat.

I know what you mean about the grin, I sat in one for the second time ever, first time in a year, and the grin lasted all day, I could feel it!

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Congragulations on the truck, I, too, am hopefully getting one at the end of this year, an '84 M923A0, special to me because it's from the NG unit in the country I grew up in. Looks like you got yourself a good one!

Food looks yummy! Done dragging stuff around for awhile? On a side note, thanks for looking over the listing for that M927A2 I bid on, before I bid. I didn't win but the thought was very much appreciated!

I've always wondered that too, why the cab with the hydrogen gases, especially if someone lights up a cigarette while driving or riding shotgun. But then again, maybe to be as high and dry as possible, since these trucks were meant to ford deep water/plow through the mud if need be?

Wow 1984? Long time!

I'm also planning on doing the same with my M923 I might be picking up, also a CA>AK recovery trip...just sleep in the bed for a week. Can't wait to see the border people freak out too!

Think she'll be home before May 9th? If so I might be able to swing by on my way down to Sitka...
