    M35 to M109 Camper Conversion Build Thread

    Today we finished up the floor. First we sealed the rust and then started to seal the bottom from water with roof sealant. Then down went the metal. We even managed to get a little body work done!

    I was planning on replacing the sheet metal, put a wood subfloor in and then put some laminate in.

    M35 to M109 Camper Conversion Build Thread

    The dash lights were a little bright at first, but after a while I did not notice. Just for the record, my co-pilot AKA "spiderbite", commo chief AKA "muleskinner" and chase vehicle driver AKA 'mama-bear" were all awesome..... Also, hats off to all who supported and offered support for the...

    M35 to M109 Camper Conversion Build Thread

    So, we finally made it back about 11 PM. The "M109" ran flawlessly the whole 900 mile round trip. The chase vehicle was not so cooperative. Now the rehab begins. The exterior of the box is pretty solid. There are a few small holes and seams that need sealed. But unfortunately the floor is...

    Well, we are behind schedule. Murphy struck again, the alternator on the chase vehicle took a crap. So we are now at autozone awaiting parts. But I did get a pic of the 109.

    Today I swapped out the bench seat for a HMMWV seat on the passenger side for the "co-pilot." I actually like it better the drivers! Also I mounted mudflaps with an old 4x4. :-P

    M35 to M109 Camper Conversion Build Thread

    I thought we would need some comms between the deuce and the chase vehicle during the trip to PA. So, I installed a Uniden Pro 520 xl CB. We will be using an audio splitter and earbuds for the deuce because it is pretty hard to hear the speaker.

    M35 to M109 Camper Conversion Build Thread

    This will be my build thread for the conversion of my m35a2 to a m109a3. On Saturday we went down to kipmans farm for the removal of my bed. With the help of chevracer87 and kipman we successfully removed the bed, but not without the smashing of a brake light bucket. Luckily I have an extra...
