Very nice, glad to see it put to work! I might be ending up with what's supposedly a '79 M35A2 with some M764 stuff on it this spring, might be a fun project.

Definitely go by the airport!

Congratulations and welcome to Steel Soldiers! I might be picking one of these up this spring, hopefully mine won't need as much right off the bat!

Love it!

Interesting thoughts! I've heard 7'4 in a couple places now for the Army 927 beds. Mine would most likely be an Army one, but who knows. Suggestions on which to get? (Army, Marines, etc)? Jbulach, if it's removable, maybe you WILL hear I'm daily driving the 927/928 to school! :driver:

Srodocker, just curious, where in California? (I'm from CA originally) Jbulach, would you be making the conversion somewhat permanent and ditching the bed entirely? I'm glad to know someone with similar ideas to mine, if you want to keep in touch feel free to PM me. I'm thinking ISO long...

@Jbulach, Neat idea! I ideally don't want my conversion making the truck any longer than it would be with the stock bed, but will do whatever works. Think you'd get something like a M146 trailer, or just a civilian R/V box? And yeah, don't tempt me...I'm the kind of person who would do...

Thanks for all the replies guys! -A dropside M927 bed would be great, I'd happily swap somebody for a dropside bed for ease of installing/removing whatever I use for a box. Wreckerman893, I'll PM you. -As far as taking the truck with me after I graduate, heck yeah I would with absolutely no...

Sounds even more like I may be pulling the trigger this spring. Excited but also terrified at the same time, I think everyone would understand why LOL. I'm mechanically what you might call less then inclined, it would be my first vehicle, list goes on and on, but I can also see it being the...

That's good to know then! Think an M146 would still fit?

So...would the M146 box fit in the bed?

For gasoline, I was picturing also putting a generator farther away on an extension cord. Would a 20' shipping container fit in the M927/M928 bed, with original dropsides still up to hold it in place? Door situation would change for sure on the end of the container. I was thinking the...

Point taken, but for me part of it is specifically wanting a long bed cargo version, box can be lifted out to use as a cargo when needed. Simply put, I've just plain wanted a M927 or m928... Any other thoughts?

Latest bizarre idea: So ever since I got familiar with the M939 series 5 ton trucks (Thanks, Steel Soldiers!) I've wanted a long bed version, an M927 or M928 (M927 with winch). Most people laugh at me, asking why on EARTH anyone in their right mind would want something so...

She's a beaut!

Sweet! I also plan on doing the same when I get mine.

I heard back from the seller! He wants it gone before temps drop below zero, which will be probably this week, but it may be for sale again in the spring...at which point I plan on buying it. Wish me luck! It needs a wheel cylinder but apparently otherwise the brakes work, though of course...

Congrats on the Deuce acquisition! I, too, may be picking one up soon.

Gorgeous truck! I, too, am potentially soon to be a Deuce owner, I've wanted one for a couple years now. The kicker: it would be my first vehicle, no joke.

Well, it's a month and a half later and I never heard back, but the Craigslist ad got reposted, I just so happened to be looking again. I of course did reply. I'm still getting ducks in a row (won't be driving until at least February). I'm sure it's been talked about a million times and I...
