M931A2 or M923A2 for dual cab shortbed mod.

[chandler]

Trying to decide which way to go. I like the dual tanks on the M931 for my project but not sure if it is easier to add the dual tank later or easier to add drop bed later. Which mod, dual tank or drop bed would cost more if anyone has any ideas.

Is there any other benefit to the M931 like heavier duty options?

The nice thing about the M923A2 is there is quite a lot at auction so stand a better chance of getting something better for less cost.

The switching valves are problematic.I would prefer a single tank.

I've got a m932 tructor. I think you'll find that if you go the tractor route, for a quad cab, that the bed will be extremely short. Probably around 6-8 feet, depending on your spare tire relocation.

For a double cab I would use the longer frame of the 923 or 927.

I have an M-931 frame for sale if that helps?

Thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought about the shorter frame rails. I saw this conversion from tractor and thought it came out nice.

Do you have the cab with doors and hardtop?

Anyone try a 931 with an M1101 trailer as the bed..looks like even with a crew cab, the M1101 7ft bed would still look great
