This is our 1991 M923A2 5 ton named "CRAZY DOG". It is just me , my wife and all of our dogs. this is our camper and the going to town truck for a "cheeseburger run" for you guessed it, the dogs! It is truly dog friendly as it has a dog door installed in the cab and the bed was modified for a dog ramp to the cab door.
also, we accomplished other improvements such as the battery move, new paint job top and bottom with all original military stenciling (except the name) we even put our names on each window as the army did.
I got rid of CTIS.
we lowered the canopy bows and got rid of the wood slats up forward and replaced them all with left over fiberglass ones from the sides and we added one extra rail to the bottom of the side rails as the dogs needed extra couple of inches higher for leaning on and we reinforced all the bows so that going down the road 60 it is actually quieter in the bed than in the cab and there is no squeaking at all from them, again it was for the dogs comfort on long rides. (we know this because my wife rode in the bed with them)..ha-ha
we added stereo and 12 volt power, completely sound proofed the cab/doors with dyno-mat and 1" submarine hull insulation (I am a retired submariner and currently a submarine mechanic) we drove for 8 hours on one trip and our ears were not ringing afterwards..ha-ha). and we added horse stall mats to the bed and cab with dyno-mat under them.
lastly, all lockers on the frame were dyno-matted and a lot of the resonating sounds were eliminated.
it is a pleasure being on this site and we thank those of you again who have assisted us certain issues relating to our truck.
