I found a picture of an M820A2 I thought I would share here is the rear mount: and here is the front mount: They appear to be the standard fixed rear mount with spring front mount. Hardwood or something else is between the box frame and truck frame.

You gotta make a write up on this one or at least PM me what you used. This thing is awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would not hang off the back of an M1085 unless you are not really going to go off-road. That rear overhang is a lot. I would choose the 1085, then make you box match that length. Adjust your camper lifestyle to match. If you only plan to drive on road, flat beaches, and dirt roads…. You...

I would take that info too, but I think the 1087 would be the closest kin to my 1083. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you mind taking some pictures of how the box is mounted to the frame? Very envious. That would be a great truck to have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you intend to go off-road or just on dirt roads? The ultra long wheelbase and your box length will limit you severely to milder trails. The 1089 manual is in the TM section with everything else. Good luck. Post your build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you mind measuring the upper mounts so I can tell how to copy them? Probably will fabricate something similar in size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the risk of hijacking’s my own thread….. anyone know what the 1087 uses for mounts? Any pictures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Kieth_Knight gave me some measurements of his springs. I came up with this part number from his specs. This looks close to what you have Ron. Is this what you For my situation, I will have closer to 6” displacement (from other example trucks), so I am thinking I need a much smaller...

Also, do you have the steel thicknesses? I may copy part of the design…..I may make the pickets deeper since I will have much more travel on the rear ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, exactly like that! So it looks like there are two cross bars on the frame near each mount. I am assuming this is only to keep the frames from rolling from the moment they see when the weight is on them. Ron, do you have the same info on the upper mounts as well? Sent from my iPhone...

Pictures of how the pieces are fabricated might help too. Thanks! Tagging in Keith Knight Third From Texas fuzzytoaster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have a picture of an M1079 with the box removed? Is the box mounted to the lower frame or is there an upper frame? If it uses an upper frame, is there any cross bars up there? Anyone have dimensions or drawings for the mounts? Looking at using a similar mount scheme on an m1083...

Kieth, You are a master of all things fabricated! Just a beautiful build. I wish you lived closer so I could watch the progress in person. Can’t wait for your next installment next month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you mind pointing me to where you got the cup holders? Got any build pics or build videos in progress? Looks great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
