Item Description

The AM General M923 is part of the M939 5-ton 6×6 military truck family, introduced in the early 1980s to replace older M39/M809 series. It was designed to haul 10,000?lb (military-rated) cargo across rugged terrain with proven reliability and modular adaptability.

While the base M923 cargo truck is a flatbed version, some units have been outfitted as pressure digger trucks, by adding power take-off (PTO) driven hydraulic or pneumatic systems. These allow the truck to operate augers, compressors, or pressure-driven digger attachments to bore poles or perform civil engineering tasks in remote locations.

The combination of a powerful Cummins engine, Allison automatic transmission, robust air-brake truck chassis, and optional central tire inflation makes the M923 a workhorse widely used by military engineering units. Its capability to support digger tools adds versatility in field operations requiring pole installation or subsurface work. With few moving parts and rugged design, the M923 remains popular for surplus conversion into service rigs or heavy-duty utility trucks.
