Only if you're near yours and remember. No big yank. The odds of finding a commercial box that's the same are probably slim to none. Thanks!

Lmtv772, Sorry, wrong post reference. I was looking for the frame width outside to outside. Need to match up dry cargo van box frame to LMTV frame. Thanks, Jim

Lmtv772, I'm not looking for a specific design spec. I was referring to a post about re-engineering the truck. It goes along with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it". The vehicle is very road worthy my concern is more the long, long road worthy.

Dave/rchalmes3, thanks for the responses. I couldn't agree more with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mantra. Also, yea they're military vehicles purpose built and not necessarily suited for a grocery getter but you know how it works. If it's got wheels ya gotta' try. Like takin' your an old...

Ok, here goes. I'm sure I'll have many in disagreement but I'm rethinking using the LMTV/FMTV/MTV for my retirement off road RV. I have read and re-read every post I can find on these MV's and the ones that stuck out were the posst about modifications to the drivetrain. It basically stated why...

I looked for a TM that would give me design dimensions but didn't find anything. I don't suppose the manufacturer released any of the design specs either.

Thanks! Would the frame width be the same for both?

You have really put some thought into your mods and repairs. Impressive. I take it you do not recommend Rhino Liner or anything similar to the interior floor and cab parts. Do you know of anyone that has taken the thermal barrier to the bottom of the cab?

Thanks for all the info and suggestions. There's so much to consider any input is good input. I do have a request...I need the frame width off of an LMTV and an MTV. Outside to outside measurements, end to end. Basically looking to replace the cargo bed on the LMTV or using an MTV, remove the...

Thanks Michael! Per the DMV, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania anything with air brakes constitutes a CDL. It may be a non-commercial CDL but they are one and the same. I tend to agree with you about the MTV. Bigger motor, more speed, 6x6 equals much better traction when you need it. Two...

Something else I've considered is using a truck bed camper for a pickup and sliding it into the cargo bed. Granted the overhang that's normally over the pickup cab would be too low to clear the LMTV cab but the area under the over hang could be used for a separate slide in module housing a...

Thanks for the welcome. In Pennsylvania I have found that a class B, Non-Commercial license is required to drive any of the vehicles I want to convert. This is due to the air brakes. I also have given consideration to the pop-up type simply because of the height problems but I have found...

Recently joined, about two weeks ago and couldn't be enjoying this site more. Absolutely everything you need to know is as simple as a search. Thanks to all of the members! What a wealth of information on everything. What I'm looking to find is a project for after my retirement in about two...
