more photos of the M63A2...one very happy surprise is that the truck already has a clutchable PTO off the transfercase so my hydr. pump installation will be a piece of pie!

just thought I would see if anyone here can recommend an equipment hauler I can contact to move the crane shown below? weights 26k#

good grief...when it rains get off low lying land because a wall of water is a commin won this one today at GovPlanet! so as of this moment I have an M925A1, an M63A2 and now an M818... too many trucks and not enough money...such a plight to suffer!

also want to mention that I just picked up an 8500# HIAB knuckle crane today to mount on this newest truck and looking for a 20' rollback flatbed should anyone know where one might be sitting for sale. already have a hydr. winch for the fladbed should it not come with one

that is also an option but I still think converting the old Garwood winch to hydraulic drive the better one

mine is an A2 however they are the same to my knowledge so would like to buy that one you have

thought I would mention that I hope to not have to spend more than $200 I am down with trying to repair the one I have though

yes, I know these are an extended frame version of the M39 trucks and very excited to make this one into a combination crane, dump, rollback rig much like the M54A2 I used to have. will need to add the hydraulics like I did on my last truck so if anyone has one of the adapters to take power off...

does anyone here have a good source they can pass on?

ironically I was awarded a QSB6.7 the other day from the GSA along with an Allison 2500SP trans and it did not take me too long to come up with the answer to your question. these engines and trans combinations are used in the RG-31 series MRAPS built by BAE Systems in South Africa. There are...

that is not good...what is the problem fitting them to a 5ton? offset or bolt pattern or both? also assuming the tires themselves could be mounted to other 20" wheels or is there a problem with that too?

this thread seems to be as good as any concerning all the different wheels used by the Army for their trucks and which fit what vehicles I am new to this subject just picking up a set of Michelin G-20 Pilote X tires mounted on wheels which to my best research are steel MRAP style. I have 14...

doesn't matter because I am not going down that road...I'd much rather use an m54 or M813 which needs no engineering wizardry to get arrive at their gvw plus I already own one and would not mind another. To me these are the perfect 5ton military truck...simple and **** for stout! btw, ironic...

just fyi but I have spoken with the owner of the M925 in the first ad I posted and what he told me is that the truck has not been modified to get the higher gvw rating. Rather he mentioned a company in Sacramento which legally can uprate these trucks to the higher rating albeit at a cost which...

This confirms what I have read...the data plate in my M54 shows both the 10000 and 20000 pound payloads for off and on road service respectively this pretty much knocks out all M939 series trucks from carrying more than 1200gallons of water. Way better to use an M39 or M813 series with the...

is this one one of those? if it is, that is one fugly truck!

maybe someone can confirm at all M923 series do not "officially" have the payload rating for 10tons onroad? that they have simply a single payload rating for only 5tons? does anyone have an official gvw for any of that series?

can anyone comment on this 5ton for sale in California? I see they say that the axles have been recertified to higher weight rating and that the entire truck is now at 45k# total gvw. What does this entail to accomplish? My M54A2 has a gvw of 39800# so minus the 19k# scale weight leaves...

really, a front axle on a 5ton is only rated at 12k# even though it is also a driving axle?

so here is a question I cannot find the answers to anywhere but what is the highest legal gross vehicle weight a 5ton chassis can be rated for? If all axles are rated at 20k# would the truck not be legally able for a 60k# gvw which would mean a payload of 38k# (60k# gvw -22k# scale weight)?
