We got the roof panels off, it may look slow going but these things are riveted and then tack welded on every rib about every 6 inches.

Got one of the block off plates done, here's the wife going to town shearing rivets and knocking them out.

You are correct sir, and that is what was in the plans. To those that don't know both my wife and I are aircraft sheetmetal mechanics, currently working on the C-130 hercules, and that is the only reason i decided to tackle this skinning job on the m109.

I'm SCRAPPING IT!!!!!! roflJust kidding, i am however going to skin it, get down to frame and put it back together like it should have been built to begin with. plus i figure the panels will be easier to fix with them removed. i'm going to put a corrosion inhibiting sealant between all parts...

ok well i got tired of every time i did something i found rust, between skin panels, rivets falling out, just rotten metal in general, soooooo.

The cross members will get welded back in before i put the floor back. i'm leaving them out for now cause access to everything is much better with them out. i'm wanting to put some tanks between the frame rails for fresh and grey water, haven't decided if i'm going to put a toilet in it yet. i...

STEWART & STEVENSON MDL 1095A1 MTV CARGO TRAILER empty weight is over deuce rated tow weight, this thing is massive, wife is 5'6".

Yay!!! I never thought i would get to post in this thread!!! I know it's not much by northern folks standards but it counts! And people said a blue deuce didn't make since, look you can hardly see it,lol.

Awsome work, can't wait to see it with bigger tires on it, right now it looks like a monster truck when they have the little tractor tires on for transportation. what size tires you going with anyway?

i was really just trying to be funny, naval=belly button. But thanks for the info.

and what is naval gelly? all i ever find is lint.

no, diffs are for sale(make offer), this will be a trailer pulled behind my deuce so i pulled them to cut weight and drag also pulled axle shafts but now i need either some front axle end caps or some off of a m105. Oh and the rust is way way way past just surface. i'll be doing quite a few skin...

All the ribs exept the ones i cut out go under to support the box, the ribs i cut out only support the metal floor that was over them which in turn was welded to the wheel wells, which leads me to think that the way i pulled the diffs was the way it was intended to be done, otherwise i see no...

Well now that its starting to warm up a little we've gotten back at it. We've removed all interior panels and insulation, got the rest of the floor cut out(new plasma cutter is the bomb diggity,lol) cut out the 4 ribs above the axles to fasilitate the removal of the chunks as seen here. as far...

i'll take pics and post them if he wants me to pick it up.

as long as i can hook the deuce to it i would be happy to get it for you.

I didn't do it!

I'll try to make it. dates don't matter i can take off whenever i want (benefits of being a gooberment employee:))

Just to make sure is this what your talking about?

thats what i was thinking when i first read it but if its like a semi trailer or something i can't. yeah you laugh now but when the next ice age comes.....[thumbzup]
