Here again, this is fascinating, Wes! I'm an eventually to be M923A0 owner, and I intend on driving it that much myself, so seeing these well-used (they usually weren't by the military) is interesting to me...what will need repair/replace and after how many miles, etc.

Looks great Russ! Not sure how I missed this thread until now!

She is gorgeous, Jbulach! Nice work!

Love this thread! I'm possibly picking up an M923 myself and would like to eventually restore it to all original, like yours..

Beautiful truck, Jbulach!

Do it!

That's pretty rare as it is, just FYI! Looks like a pipeline truck. Not to tell you what to do with YOUR truck, but that could potentially be valuable to a collector as is, and then you could get a regular M35A2 and modify THAT instead. Not sure what kind of $$$ the one above you have is, but...

Probably not! That said, once I get mine I plan on doing that in a controlled environment. rofl

As in, 5 ton car crushing? That's always fun.

Sounds like fun! Shame I'm on the wrong side of the country, I'd go!

...So, stupid question I know, but is this what's inside where the winch controls are inside the cab?

Me, too, a little bit, as a potential soon to be NHC250-powered M923 owner. Curious how easy the rebuild goes!

Absolutely, all original! I'm hopefully picking up an all-original M923 myself before much longer.

Interesting thread! Bookmarking this for future reference as a possible soon to be M923A0 owner myself, heaven forbid mine does this and I have to do a similar teardown job.

Interesting thread, bookmarked for future reference! (Looking like I might be a future M923A0 owner before 2017 is out). Can we make this a 'Sticky' by any chance? It might help other people with this predicament if it's easily found that way.

Agreed! Maybe instead of just 5 ton up have something like: M939 M809/M39 Then a larger than 5 ton section (HEMTT, HET, USMC 7 ton, etc). The M939s are so popular and for our hobby's purposes are just now "current issue" so I say why not too!

Yeah it is! I'm thinking I'm gonna go for this one M923 though here. But yeah, Deuces seem to be everywhere in Alaska!

SnowTrac Nome, was it the one that was without a cab top (well, blue tarp and 2X4s) and was maybe a pipeline truck that the guy was gonna bob?

Looks great!

At first glance I thought you also got a M936 wrecker! Looks good though! How soon do you anticipate having it done and the bed back on? Might also be picking up a M923 myself, that used to belong to the San Luis Obispo/Camp Roberts Nat'l Guard. It was probably here the whole time I was, and...
