Soo........... I'm gonna revive a decade old dead thread and ask this to become a sticky All pictures and the diagram are here. Thanks :beer:

Scored two more, but had to drive three hours to get them. Anyone have the ability to scan these yet?

I just read that, but it was Ricky Bobby from Talledega Nights voice in my head!rofl

Look for a 1 ton GM dually that doesn't have a pickup bed on it. IE... Box truck, maintenance truck ect. Its not the rule, but so far every 14 bolt dually rear end I've found as been a narrow C&C axle and they are everywhere.

The narrow 14 bolt keep the tires within the width of the box. The problem I've run into is the bottom support for the box itself doesn't allow for the inside dual since it was originally a single wheel set up. I'm hesitant to cut on the box since the beam is structural. If anyone has a Dana 70...

I looked into AC's kit, but a fellow member had a crewcab he wanted to single out, so we just swapped out. I'm only out gas money :p

They would look a lot more natural as DRW.

Swapped front spindles and axle from the donor truck. The 63" cab and chassis axle kept the tires under the box, but the inboard tire would contact the box floor support. Full span Dana 70 next.

I'm not a electrician so it could be completely wrong, but it blows hot and cold when asked, so I just go with it. :grd: Additional info for anyone wanting one of these: My 5K will push the three ton unit, but it kicks up to 110% load on heat. My 10k will push a five ton unit and 98% load on...

Check out this thread. Lots of picture of the box interior in various stages of disassembly. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?146746-M1010-ambulance-box-build-reference

That is the actual cable that comes with these units. My 5 ton unit is the same way. It took me a few attempts to get it right.

If you are using a military gen set the wiring is per the attached picture. There is also a red LED behind the control panel on the AC that will indicate if it is miswired.

Not sure why I'm just now seeing this thread, but I love it. After seeing the box gutted I think the vertical supports should be strong enough to support a cabover bed if I run the top beam the length of the entire box. Any input is welcome.

ECU/MEP study

Thank you for the offer. There has to be a digital copy somewhere with a parts manual. I'm planning on converting mine over to R-407C since its the closest match to R22 and its available. I found a study the Marine Corps did on the relation between gen sets and ECUs. Lots of fluff, but also good...

Ok here is the data plate for the 36k units. Considering how many of these have been auctioned off, I'm surprised I cant find more detailed info about them.

Would you by chance have access to any -10 info for the 36k units?

I'm surrounded by aircraft part manufacturers. If you have the CAD data I'm sure I can find a vendor here to make them. I'm not sure of the per-unit costs, but its worth a shot.

My buddy was just there friday. No more whole trucks. Frames, tires, axles and a few deuce engines. If you need tires better hurry up, the singles are running low.

We were there in September there were still several 939 frames to go through and a half dozen deuce frames with axles and engines. I had a pick up on Ft. Riley last week and I drove by the GP yard and it was empty and the overflow lot only had a few items on it. Riley is pretty much dried up and...
