I have a m809 bench seat assembly with both cushions, the bottom cushion is ripped but can be repaired. I'm located by kansas city.

Needing 1 detroit locker for my m809, thanks

February of last year I picked this truck up from a field in Iowa and drove her home 300 miles! I've done a ton of work to it since then. Here's some of my favorite photos of it in chronological order of the work done.

Michelin XZL's 16.00r20 They are the led Headlights from midwest military equipment. I don't necessarily like the look either but I can see very very far out in front of me. And I live in the boondocks so it's necessary for me and avoiding cows

1979 m813a1

I moved my personnel heater from the engine bay to the cab. I used some aluminum flat strap to make the brackets. Had to move the diverter box down towards the driver's side to make it all fit. Took about 4-5 hours. Doesn't look super pretty but I'm happy with it. I did try it out and the can...

Here's some pictures I got

I can take some pictures, let me know what you need

Thanks for the response, I'll take a look at it again as I have not figured it out. The total travel should help me out.

Haven't done too much to the truck in the past few weeks other than replaced a few seals. I also discovered I have the rear pto attachment so that's a nice bonus. Not sure if I'll use it or not, been thinking about putting a hydraulic winch in the bed and running a hydraulic pump off of the rear...

Stripped the hood down to metal and painted it to the best of my abilities. Turned out ok.

I have a winch on my M813a1, the truck did not originally come with a winch. My understanding is there is a low and a high gear for the PTO. I only have two gears down towards the floor and two towards the seat. I got under the truck and adjusted the connector with the all thread to give me some...

Things I've done over the past month. Painted the winch and got rid of the terrible red. Painted all the axles with black rust inhibitor. Painted the hood (turned out bad so no picture hahaha) I attempted to adjust the doors by moving the hinges, however this turned out to be a nightmare. All...

I seem to have developed a high idle after driving the truck for a extended period of time (30+ minutes). It will idle at about 1k to 1.5k and I have to put it in gear and let it down with the clutch to keep it down. Any ideas at what to look at?

Thanks for all the helpful advice! I'll be sure to keep the rolling back in the wrong gear in mind. I didnt get too much done on the truck this week, due to the rain I didn't get to do the winch brake tests. Anyhow I changed all three differential fluids, transfer case, and transmission fluids...

Good to know, I'll do both those tests on the brakes this week and let you know how it goes. Thanks

Maybe I'm confused as to what the brake should do as I have no winch experience. The winch when unwinding does brake itself if I pull the cable out too fast it seems. What I meant is when the winch is not in use I've accidentally stepped on the drum and spun it which I thought the brake would...

Yup I'm not too worried about it. I'm gonna use some seam sealer to get it all sealed up. I was thinking about making what you described for the windows but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. I'm just happy to have a hard top! The winch operation on the truck is definitely interesting...
