having reverse engineered the entire Expansible Van Body, I wish i could go back in time and tell them how to improve it.... several poor design decisions...

cool, thanks for the setup info.... here is what it would look like naked, with only the structure and no skin panels:

thanks, i figured the sleeve must be for direction but it must be a bit stuck or need more tension first. TM just says "operate the jack up" or "operate the jack down"...

anybody know how to use the expansible van leveling jacks? how does the knurled collar at the base of the crank handle hole work? anyone have the feet for those? NSN 5120-00-566-0617...

I like the sunroof idea I was almost going to do the same.

Looks like a pretty pathetic attempt at roof sealant they did previously they did previously

Sean filner put that unit in his fmtv on the fastidious restomod YouTube channel

I figured out a nice way to let the laws of gravity and the tire hoist help you with changing a tire off the rim. Perhaps I'll demonstrate it at the event if there's a spare tire in need of changing. I plan on being there. Just a hop, skip, and a jump for me.

If you got your CAD model from something like turbosquid you may have to resize the whole model. I've had two different models from them one of a Peterbilt and one of something else and all of them had been rescaled like 8% smaller or something like that

I have two of the filters as shown in the image up there with the y pipe. If that's the same kind that you're mentioning we only need one of then I'll sell my other one

Out of morbid curiosity I looked up the alternator cuz when I tried to click on the link it said malware attempt. It's still a $2,200 alternator! Nice work though

May no one else bid and you get it for the reserve!

there is also this thing, but you would need a long wheelbase 6x6 FMTV or 5-ton for it: https://www.govplanet.eu/for-sale/Portable-Structures-Saginaw-32263-1-Portable-Shelter-California/13013287?h=5000%2Cq%7Cshalter&rr=0.14286&hitprm=&pnLink=yes

I would say don't necessarily spend the money on the tool until you try it other ways. Mine came off actually stupid easy and I ended up not even really needing it. I had a standard two jaw puller that was a big one. I put two pieces of pipe around the ends and put those in the yoke holes, and...

Eastern surplus might have one or might not. Good luck getting a hold of them! https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/4289/M109A4-2-and-a-half-ton-Van-Shelter-Box-Command-Center

I think you're looking for unobtainium. You probably got better luck looking for an s280 shelter as Sean Filner (fastidious restomods YouTube channel) has on his., or make your own with a kit from https://rvglobetrekker.com/.
