I won a 934A1 last week.

I hope to make a camper of it so I can save on hotel bills while I'm a rentals with my equipment. I have some super singles I want to put on the front axle.

Congratulations on the new truck. Look forward to seeing your RV build.

What size tire?

 

[Carlo]

They came off a 923A2.

You can't run the super singles off a 5-ton without swapping the rear tires to super singles. If you run super's off a deuce (14.5r20's) then they are the same height as the 11r20's.

I won't be using the 6x6 so it's not a problem.

Great looking truck. Looks to be very little rust if any. I also noted the star on the door. Was it a Red River reset? Also just a question has anyone out there added a turbo set up on a A1. Is it possible? I have a 1990 Ford (civilian) 7.3 and a turbo helped it out a lot.

 

[Carlo]

All the trucks we get have stars on the doors, hoods, and rear gate.

Carlo, where do you get your trucks

 

[Scott88M]

If you only put 14r20s on the front wouldn't the truck have a severe rear leaning rake to it?

 

[Carlo]

Carlo, where do you get your trucks

From the US European Disposal Agency. By auction and direct but I'm a certified museum so I can priorty, donations ( 60%) and extras.

The difference is not that great. The 934 is a little nose low with the van box empty. My friend in holland runs the same setup.

I hope you go camping with strong friends. Have you tried expanding the sides yet? It takes 3 men and a boy to crank the sides out, stand on the spring loaded floor, hold up the roof panel, and then close all the latches. I can't think of a more unpractical RV.

The right side actually opened pretty good. My son of 9 years old was enough help. The left side was a little more difficult so I had to employ the help of my little 7 year old girl with my son but got her done.

I used to open my 934 by myself all the time, closed it by myself too.

Once you do it a couple time you can get it to an art of doing it alone.

Just make sure the cables are good, won't be doing it by yourself if the cables break.

I hear you on the cash flow thing with your friend. I'm going to be lucky to get A/C on it this year. Next year I start thinking about further RV modifications.
My kids think it's out of this world and tickeld pink at the thought of going camping in it.
