Welcome to the madness :) The temptation, because the box is so big, is to put too much stuff in it. Keep us informed of your progress.

When I changed the oil for the first time in the 1966 M109A3, I put a 5 gallon pail under the drain plug then pulled the plug. Thats how I learned that the crankcase holds 6 gallons.....oooops.

I reeeealy hate mud. A fella could have twelve wheel drive and still be stuck.

I used the s/n from the data plate on the dash of my M35A3. Its not a 17 digit VIN but nobody cares. In AZ if it has 3 axles then its a commercial truck. DMV inspectors are getting wise: A camper body on a commercial truck is still a commercial truck.

Hey from Tucson :)

There are many for sale in Tucson, not far from you.

I posted this and after letting it percolate for awhile I believe that it adds no value to the community. Thanks !! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?114299-LSSV-clone-build-sorta-kinda-but-not-really

Excellent, thanks for the comeback. Any more pix of your ride?

One feature that I really liked about the CUCV Blazer was the lack of a center console. I know some guys modify commercial Walmart consoles and ammo cans to fit that space, but I like the openness and easy pass thru to the rear seating area. The Avalanche has a center seat/console that isn't...

I like that. Commercially available bars or did you have to custom fab ?

Probably wouldn't even have to wash it, huh ? Looking for parts that swap directly to achieve "the look". Yeah, it would be a short-bedded imposter, but thats OK.

Oh, am not new to MVs, I had n M109A3, then a CUCV Blazer (the red one with the window cages), and currently own an A3. The Blazer taught me some things that lead me to the Avalanche mod preference :)

So I have this Avalanche with blingy wheels and running boards......I'm not a fan of chrome-plated sissy trucks.....am driven to do SOMETHING. I like the idea of taking some design cues from the LSSV : wheels + bumpers + colors. Like the one pictured.

Niice. Am very much interested in what goes on with the electrical & mechanical interfaces at the firewall. Will subscribe as soon as I figure out how

Interesting, the thought process that led you to these choices. As you are a man who actually implements ideas in hardware, you have my respect. Makes me less fearful of making similar decisions. Yes, its money spent, but we'll make more :)

Too complicated at any speed. There are (I just counted) Ninety-seven categories to choose from. I didn't see a forum for left-hand threaded lug nuts, I expect that is coming soon. No, no hard feelings, but I'm out. Have a Merry Christmas, and a prosperous New Year !!

Yeah, OK, its a slow connection, I get that and I knew that when I posted. I'm saying that the page is uneccesarily complicated, what with banners blinking and whos on and GL pictures, etcetera. Geez , with all that stuff there is a teensy weensy place to log in, THAT ought to be bigger and more...
