Good job Nick. A little out of range for us but I'll start watching for something in our area. We took two trucks out for the Run for the Wall stop here local and got a lot of positive comments from the guys there. I was (several years ago) on base at the check point when about 200 PGR guys...

Shouldn't you be asleep?

I think this thread has kind of turned into my build thread. Here are a few more things completed. Diffs, transfer, and trans lube all changed out Refinished and painted 8 FMTV wheels Mounted 8 395 Goodyears on the FMTV rims (2 spares) Bleached and cleaned the inside of the box. Expanded it...

I'm confused. I singled my truck and the wheels (fmtv) just bolted right on?

Ack, 820 and trailer full of swap meet parts are loaded and ready to roll. The border is over run. Had to retreat back to IL.

You are correct, the WHOLE idea of buying expandable truck just to expand it is a guess.

Now that you have seen more of the guts of the van body than practically everyone, what do you think about making it non-expandable? Could you loose the flip out panels and permanently seal the exterior walls to the main structure? Just an idea I've been kicking around. The plan is to expand...

Yeah. Straight from red river.

They are in the garage. This project did cause me to get a new compressor though.

Got one side finished. They seem to fit well and look pretty good. Tomorrow I should have the other two rears on and be able to take it out for a drive. M820 with FMTV wheels - YouTube

It better be OD!

Welcome to the big truck club!

Here's two of the first FMTV wheel going on.

Me too. Sorry Sirblissful, I'm steeling all of your ideas and I don't even feel bad about it.

I think I got your wheel! It was full of RTV. Must have been 2 tubes of it. Nothing a pressure washer couldn't take care of. [thumbzup]

Thanks. I think I'm good then. Just wasn't sure if there was anything special with the 395s vs the 1400/1600s. They are going on the 820. I got them from GL. 8 good wheels with 6 good tires. 2 were flat spotted but will work for spares. They are in the middle of getting painted now.

Any word of wisdom? Do I need any kind of sealer or balancing beads?
