    M-Gator and M929 on Auction

    Fair enough, but it sounds like you are advertising your own entity's sales without a vendor account or some other advertising arrangement with the site. I'm sure the other auction sites who advertise here would love to have a free deal, too. I'd like to have free classifieds.

    M-Gator and M929 on Auction

    I suppose your eagerness to share this here must mean you are not bidding on either one?? But, if you are, why not include your max on each. LOL

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    LOL. I haven't found any odd materials yet, just steel and wood. Given that accident was prior to M939 production, I think I'm safe. ;) The bumper numbers indicate the bed was on a truck from the 11th ADA Brigade (Ft. Bliss) most recently.

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    Some more info on this thing. I don't think that this particular bed was made this way originally from the manufacturer. The reason is that I found some spots of "filler" under the wood in the rear section. I did not know what it was at first, but when I chipped them out, there were what...

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    The boards were originally nice solid wood and are still partially decent, but are pretty wet and rotting on the end near the tailgate. The rust under the wood appears to be from the original bed floor. Fortunately, at about 3/16" thick, it still has about 1/8" in the really rusted spots.

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    Finally got a chance to cut some of this apart. If you have this style of bed, here is what your bed probably looks like inside of what I can only assume was the "cushioning" layer.

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    The pics also show how wet the wood was down near the bed floor. Drilling it required cleaning the teeth of the hole saw out regularly because it was so wet. This is why I will be removing it. Hopefully, the lumber will be usable for something else.

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    To follow up on this thread, I drilled through the bed with a hole saw and found that what I though was possibly some sort of "stone dust" must have just been rust buildup from the underside of the top layer of metal in that area. The construction appears to be as follows: Solid wood (not sure...

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    I definitely think this bed would not have been procured for hauling standard palletized cargo. One errant nail sticking out of the bottom of a pallet, and the top layer of these panels gets torn up, with no simple repair. So, thinking more about this and looking at the bumper numbers of some...

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    I'm sure there are multiple manufacturers, but I don't think that is the only explanation for this difference. As I said, these panels are welded together and are on TOP of the normal floor. There were a few holes in one spot of my bed where it appeared to have been torched to remove something...

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    Here are some that appear NOT to have the raised bed followed by some that do. It's hard to tell on the camo bed, but generally, the bottom of the tailgate aligns to the bottom of the reflector on the raised versions (except the ratty bed, but it has had tie-downs added, so the reflector was...

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    Since this is a 20' bed, I looked around at the recently/previously sold M927s and they all appear to have the same raised floor. I could not find any good pics of the rear any M814s to see what they have, but my recollection is that they are plain steel bed bottom. Can anyone with a...

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    I got this bed to use as a bridge over my stream. While stripping it down, I noticed that there were some holes in the bed that did not go through to the bottom. On closer inspection, it appears that the stock bed floor has 4 panels ( that are approximately 1.5" thick ) on it that are fully...

    M1028a3?

    No, unfortunately that is pretty conclusive that it is open.
