The M925 is the standard cargo version of AM General’s M939 series of five-ton US military heavy trucks, developed in the 1970s to replace the M39 and M809. Built on a long-wheelbase chassis, it was equipped with drop sides to allow loading by forklifts. Other standard features included a front-mounted winch, bottom-hinged tailgate, side racks, troop seats, and overhead bows with a canvas cover.

Like all M939 series trucks, the M925 has three axles and six wheels, all of which are powered by an 855-cubic-inch Cummins NHC 250 inline six-cylinder diesel engine producing 240 horsepower at 2,100 rpm and 685 pounds-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. An Allison MT654CR five-speed automatic transmission with two-speed transfer case sends power to all three axles. Production of the AM General M939 series ran from 1982 through 1987, with a large portion being retrofitted to the previous M809 chassis.

This M925 has a delivery date of 8 October 1984 stamped on its identification number plate mounted to the dashboard. The truck features a front-mounted winch, distinctive camouflage pattern, and “Seabees” insignia on both doors, referring to the US Naval Construction Battalions (“CBs”) conceived as replacements for civilian construction companies in combat zones after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

A true workhorse, this M925 could serve as an eminently capable hauler for a business, a head-turning parade vehicle, or an impressive collection piece for enthusiasts of US military machinery.
