forgot
Pawnshop -just seen your post - here are those pics.
His interior floor is way better than mine and the electrical box on the bottom left is what I am missing (besides a Hardtop without paying an arm and a leg)

slacker
SO you sit back and ask what the slacker has been doing with this unit ?
Been working on my buddies rig since picking it up Sun - so here are pics before I get hammered.
Its a little over 98 and whatever the other effects of the heat are - its hot.
GOOD NEW is - we have been waiting for paint - they will get painted for us in a booth (so my lungs can live another day). Building the Canadian style cab racks at this time (sorry no pics till done) and I still have the generator to hack up in the cargo box like I mentioined.
As you can see - getting his prepped so we can get them painted and continue on - I am hoping I can get these to the point we can go the GA RALLY and meet all the other fantatics and see how far behind we are in having decent rigs.

Love your camper project!
I just got a 109 as well! For a while I'm going to make it into a shop for ALL my tools! Then I think It will become a camper!
Great job!

Finished the body work on my friends M109A3 last night and got the dash taped up for painting - mine has been ready except for a hardtop - waiting till one falls from sky - cannot bring myself to pay over $200 for one and even at that one that is not rusted out or dented.
Here is the rack I am in the process of building for his unit - used the Canadian site to get an idea of dimensions and durability.
I have the open cut diamond screen to weld into the outer wall - going to set it in place before I make final shims and drill. You will notice I stole the tie downs off my unit and mounted them to the lower outside rail so a tarp could be easily tied down - and it gives an appearance of 109 items to it -= just my .02 cents worth of an idea.
enjoy the pics.

rack install day
Here are some pics of the rack lifted and set into place on top of the cab - still have drilling and windshield spacers to make & bolt into place - then it is off to paint they go.

Is your box crooked or is the truck parked on an incline? If the box IS crooked how would a body go about fixing that condition?

Pawn - it is really a cockass*** incline in my backyard and drive.
Great Eyeballing this - the tandems are on flat ground on the passenger side - the drivers side tandem are sitting on the incline
Then the steer passenger is sitting down hill and the drivers is sitting up hill - so from hardtop to the bottom of the rack are exact and the 4 corners are exact mounting on cab.
Slap me silly - I will get pics sitting on level ground so you know my head was not jerking nor my head mounted crooked when I installed this.
End of day - Have a couple more bolts on the lower windshield mount to drill with collars and its like the yellow brick road - off to paint they go by middle of the week.
Then to get stripping down my RV and getting my buddy his parts and working on the real stuff.
Sure would like them ready to be 1/2 way respectable and go to the Ga Rally

I thought so, the cab and rack looked straight but the box behind it is askew. I have a friend with a M35A2 that has a crooked bed (on level ground) and I am trying to figure out how to fix that, hopefully it can be done without removing the bed...
