Please don't flame me if this has been discussed before! I really have tried to search for a remedy (i.e.: TM's, Forums, Google Machine, etc.) .... Here is my problem ... When I removed the interior of my 1997 M1078, I removed the seat belt mechanism for the passenger seat. Unfortunately...

One of our big fork lifts at work wandered off and got stuck. Everything we tried came up short ... including hooking two F450 4x4's to the old girl. Purportedly this forklift weighs in at around 21,000lbs. That was when I figured I might as well bring in the M1078 and see if that could get...

So I am winding up the renovation of the cab of my M1078. In the process I have run into an obstacle trying to replace two compromised pieces. The first is one of the three plastic air vents above the heater controls. I have found some similar products that I could use to replace all...

Just wondering if any of you have had experience pulling off the door handle and window crank on a mid-90's M1078? I have read posts about these and the difficulty finding replacement. I don't want to risk messing them up. Thanks in advance.

First of all .... as a newbie to the world of MV, this site is amazing. From the technical manuals to the all the information on dealing with GL auctions .. it has been invaluable. That said, I am currently working on getting an M1078 back to eastern washington after a successful Dec 30th...
