Do you have any pictures? Sounds like we have the same specific version of M101.

Between an empty M1102 (w/ or w/o shocks) and a loaded genset trailer, I've found they pull better with weight on the torsion axles. The S788 ought to have a high CG but pull well. And if it's top heavy you can lower it!

Pics?

Your project is looking good! I wish the M116s came with more space between the wheel wells so that S-250s (and sheets of plywood) could fit between them. Why they didn't improve this by the time the A2/A3 beds came out is beyond me.

I hope you'll consider saving the Civil Defense insignia on your tailgate. I feel like that's a very interesting part of history that doesn't really have a modern equivalent. For my peers (b. 1985) and those younger than me, we really came of age after the Cold War and during the OEF/OIF eras...

Did you ever get your ClimateRight A/C unit installed like you wanted?

That looks like an M103 instead of an M101A3, though. That trailer is noticeably larger than an M116-series frame. Not saying it won't fit...just that I don't think it'll look precisely like that photo.

What is the interior height in your Amtech?

I'm about to attempt something along those lines. Trying to follow 1stDeuce's method, but I'll post whatever results I end up with.

Uhhh...and you do know you have to to post a build thread now, right? [thumbzup]

Keep a couple of those 277Cs in decent shape, will ya? I missed out on the last batch that came through but have been watching intently ever since. Glad it sounds like nothing got damaged that couldn't be replaced! I flew out of Atlanta on Saturday morning during a break in that weather...

Looks like you MUTT collection is about to surpass your Massey-Ferguson fleet!

Picked up an M1102 from a guy in Richmond back in September. Found a utility top on CL around Greensboro and discovered the seller was another MV enthusiast (Even said he'd owned a HET at one point). A little pricier than I wanted, but it was the correct height to sit inside of without...

I like it! What did your fenders come off of?
