I have my own little army of minions for helping me prep the truck for paint, sure the lines are not perfect but it was worth it for the amount of fun they all had! I still have to do some black paint to the grill area, frame, underbelly and wheels, we are about out of warm weather so I am glad...

Thanks, planning my trip for wheels and such this week, so hopefully will have things moving along better now. I have been working on getting THIS truck done since the weather has gotten really cold and I needed to get the paint done. I usually tend to work on them only a few hours a night...

yep if mine ever goes, I have an eaton fuller 15 spd on standby, you are much braver than I am, keep up the good work.

and even more

and some more

Here is the latest build from overkill customs, it is for sale, I should have it painted next week or so. It is a 71 m35a2 with M35a3 air assist power steering. The truck has a Boyce hardtop and was originally bought and sold by Boyce, they did a full 12v conversion at the time of sale, I had...

well to be totally honest, I use the outriggers on my crane to lift the front but same idea.

or just do what I did and use a 7" grinder, disconnect the rear drivline, put the front on jackstands and put it in gear. (poor man's lathe). Make sure your front jackstands are up to the task first.

here we go, nothing too exciting at this point, and if droopypete comes on this thread... Look buddy, truss's are on the shop, sheeted and tin going on this weekend all before the snow!!

sorry guys, there has been a delay on this build, I have yet to have time to go get the super single wheels that I have ordered. The truck is bobbed, the bed is done but before I do final assembly I want to mount the tires and wheels to see if I need to build a sub frame for the bed to make...

Military uses standard green, if it were me I would use the big truck stuff, have seen some fail at really low mileage due to cavitation.

this would be useful, my 920 has the same issue and I have just not investigated it yet.

I have bobbed eight trucks now, deuces and 5 tons, they are by far the nicest of the fleet to drive.

is the cab over section strictly used as an air dam or are you going to use it for storage?

Yeah it is cool if it is the only green truck you own but I recover other trucks with my 920 and I need to have a strong 24v source to start up and recover old trucks.

you can swap it over, you will have to have a hydraulic power source (pto tandem pump high capacity) to make it work, as well as the frame mount.

all the ones I have seen lately have been the MW pump, still easy to turn up though..

A 480le will work if you get a full manual valve body, means you shift it through the gears like a manual. Yes you can do it, I would only do it if I were adding 1008 axles under it otherwise the 1009 has perfect gearing without modifying it.

There is a replacement for displacement... Its called boost!! an 8.3 wont even break a sweat chewing up and crapping out the nhc250 and with a couple of free tweaks the 8.3 really comes alive!!

yeah if you need bigger axles, skip the process and just buy a heavier truck like a m123, 920 etc.
