That is an interesting build on the 932. Nice looking truck. Did you make them get out and hook their own strap or did someone do it for them?

I have a 6 inch Snatch-n-Strap (thanks Recovry4x4) for such circumstances. I don't feel comfortable using anything else. With these gargantuan rigs, whatever is hooked to the other end IS coming out. At one of the Georgia Rallies, we made believers out of a whole bunch of folks that had never seen said strap used in action to its fullest capabilities. Ferro was on the wet end of that strap that particular evening. Everybody said his truck (81
stuck in cabbage OVER the front bumper was not coming out without a winch. Well, you just hide and watch. Mission accomplished.

Sweet!
Did that truck come from the US Army or from Germany's motorpool?
If from German sources - Was it through auction like GL here in the States?
Thanks and best wishes on your new toy.

Well, I am german national. An the Truck came from the US Army in Germersheim/ germany. In Germany you have to buy these trucks from a contractor. They will get it for you from the base. At this time there are hundreds of m939 trucks here on the market. But a m923A2 is still hard to get!
Years ago we could have bought trucks from the DRMO here in Germany. But now we have to get the cars and trucks like I discribed above.

Thank you, Sir.
That's interesting insight into how things are done elsewhere in the world.

Thought I'd toss my M54A2 into the thread...just acquired from a rural fire department in Sumas, WA. Has a very large V plow set up for the front which I got with the truck but not the water tank.
Immediate plan is to replace all the old NDT tires with a set of new G177's I found locally at a great price, then to take the plow assembly off and store it and lastly, find a troop bed somewhere hopefully within 500miles in case anyone knows where one is in WA, OR or ID. The plow assembly is available for possible trade for a bed.

Here's mine. As you can see I strategically located the tan one so my wife can't even see it. The camo works great at my house.

Bigboy,
That came out nice, what is the final length dimension of the bed w tail gate on, I'll check your build thread. Put a couple pallets of house bricks in it at it might ride like a F-150. I wish you were closer, you could contract out and build my trucktor. Fresh coat of paint and that will take first place.

Scar59, Thanks for the complement. The bed is 9'7" total and sticks out about 1" out the frame, I am getting some bumperettes from smittyjr355 to add to the rear. Preping the sides and tailgate for paint is going to be the hardest part of the build for me(I hate to paint). The sides are pretty rough and they will require the most work. All in all I am pleased with the build and the truck rides pretty good and the warmer the tires get the better it drives. Thanks for looking!
