M915A1 Ready for the "Oilpatch"!!!!!!!!

[simoncrk]

Well Guys
I got 1 of em ready. Heres what I do with the M915A1's I USED TO BUY off of GL. Paint em, install an A/C, put a vacuum pump on em, hook em up to a vacuum trailer and take off. Im the guy that "GL said my Dads account and mine were duplicate accounts". I sent them these pics also, to show that I have my own agenda with what I buy off of GL, and they still wouldn't listen. Anyhow.........
I know some MV guys hate for this to happen to a military truck, but you can't just let em sit at the house. They make pretty good trucks for rough country. Top speed is 57 MPH with a load (130 BBLs or 5460 gal) of 8# water. Thats just right especially if your workin by the hour. LOL
Does anybody else do this kinda thing???????
Post some pictures if you do.

- Im a guy that has to have his MV's the way they were when new and/or in the Military.

But you have done a amazing job on the M915. It looks like a brand new civiy tractor right outta the 1980's paint and all. You really have somting nice on your hands. -

Nice work, what type of AC do you add to them.

We had to mount a PTO on the top driverside of the tranny, attach a Hydraulic pump to it for the hydraulic motor on the vacuum pump.

Its a Red Dot a/c unit, for a Cummins engine

I agree...beautiful job! You should go into business restoring trucks!

I plan to get a WVO hauling operation off the ground, and save my pennies to buy a m915 or m916 to do the hauling- I'll use my m818 for the first few months.

Good looking truck and if I get one I will be doing the A/C install as well!

Wonderful looking rig. I like restored ones, I like unrestored ones... Mostly, I like to see them getting used...

But the credit should go to the fab shop that mounted the pump, a/c etc.
They're a local oilfield fabrication company, called Jett Services. And they do excellent work. I wish I had the time, patience, and equipment to do stuff like this.

thats awesome. its equipment getting used thats awesome. i consider its getting saved from china in some sort of way

I'm impressed! When did you get your first M915A1? I have just known complete ones to be be released within the last few years?

That is one slick M915.......makes me want to buy another one. Ya did good!!!!!

Nice to see the green iron soldering on...even if it is not green anymore. Its the heart and soul that are still OD. It's looks really good wearing your company colors..."100% Proud American". It wins the Seal of Approval (see pic).

Better to toil away in an American oil field than to be melted down in a Chinese blast furnace.

I like them green but that is one good looking truck. I'd be proud to drive out to dinner somewhere wearing a tuxedo in it.
