For you no problem PB! We can make it work.

Well here are the pictures I promised! A little late but at least I took them. ENJOY.....

I slept in late today so i didn't get much done. i picked up a lighted toggle switch @ Advances Auto for the fuel pump as well as a short piece of radiator hose to insulate the cables coming through the floor. I managed to slit the hose the long way so I could wrap it around the cables and...

Well the proper fuse block came in yesterday!!! I went out this afternoon and started to install the power lines to the auxiliary fuse panel and the inverter. I found some 1/0 wire with the ends already terminated. I disconnected the ground from the batteries and took off the temporary...

It is a 3 phase pump for the liftgate. It is meant to be used when the truck is connected to a 3 phase power source - you don't have to run the engine to use the liftgate.

Well work is ground to a halt as I await the arrival of the correct ANL fuse block for the main power feeds to the inverter and an auxiliary fuse panel. I was shipped the wrong fuse block - so I am waiting for the replacement. I will be running 1/0 from the batteries to the fuse block and...

Here are a few more.

Well I promised I would attach some more pictures of the project in progress so here goes!!!

I would not use the 12 volt to 120 volt inverter. You will end up damaging your batteries. I recommend you get the 24 volt to 120 inverter I mentioned earlier in this thread. It is very reasonably priced and will run the A/C unit without draining the batteries.

Another update! I plugged up all the unused openings in the tank. I managed to install the pickup tube by soldering a curved copper tubing inside one of the threaded fittings that will pull fuel out of the tank. Since the hole was about 2" above the bottom of the tank it was the only way to...

Well I finally got time to take some new pictures showing the fuel tank installation. I finally wired up the inverter to the batteries. i will have pictures of that next time. At least now I can actually use the A/C unit if I need it!

I mounted the painted fuel tank today. I used 4 allthreads and two 15" pieces of Unistrut to secure the tank into place. I added some CAMO colors to make it blend in better. Tomorrow I will start to run the wires for the Inverter. i was running round today to look for ANL fuses for the...

Why are you asking? (I know I am a glutton for punishment but I'll ask)

Well I tested the A/C unit today by first using an extension cord plugged into the house. It seemed to run fine and gave lots of air movement. I temporarily installed the inverter using the jumper cables provided to power the inverter. I plugged the A/C unit into the inverter and started it...

Yes it will be painted green today. i just want to make sure it works before i paint it all up. The A/C unit is rated about 600 watts. The inverter is 900 watts sustained and 1800 watt surge so i am well within the safety margin of the unit.

I am installing a 900 watt inverter to power the A/C unit. Unit draws 600 watts. Here is the link to their web site: Power Bright - 24 Volt Modified Sine Wave Power Inverters

I am going to paint the firewall and floor with ceramic paint that is supposed to insulate the cab from the heat. The soft top is already insulated. I am not expecting ice cold but at least be comfortable. Anything is better than what it's like now! Here is some info about the ceramic paint...

My last major project on this M820A2 truck was the Super Single Conversion. Since I could not get the 1400-20 spare tire installed in the carrier behind the cab (due to its 550 pounds plus weight) I decided to use the space for other more desirable components. Since the truck has a liftgate I...
