I will show you how I got to this point when time allows. Summers early get out the tools.

Its been a little while but I guess its time to put more up. Just some pics for now.

Slow progress but still moving along. No money for fun right now. My springs are rated for 3k lbs ea. in the back. I probably should have just used front springs but I will follow through and see how the Freightliner springs rideand haul.

These are from around Apr 2010.

I also found a couple pictures from the beginning of the project. One is the M35A2 before I started w/it. The other is my 109 next to a tank before I started all of the work on it.

The 3 rims in the first picture are going to get blasted. I wanted to have one to mount while they were gone. I need to correct an earlier post...the paint I used on the painted rim was permatex plasti-dip. I like it so far, very flexible and not too porous. I used a black semi gloss on the...

Here are some more pics.......

Painted 1 rim after I cleaned it up. I cleaned up my tires and picked up my bottom plates and nuts for my rear axle/ubolts. Ballistic fabrication in AZ has some perches that will work well with my 3" wide springs. The rest of the rims are going to get grit blasted. If I like the rim I painted...

I was able to get the tires off of the rims. They were pretty rusty inside. I am glad I didn't pay someone to do it. Time to clean the rims and paint. I may get the MVT's mounted this weekend! Then pictures.

Akonitony, I wish there was a Lowe's close to me. My choices are Home Depot and Menards. I can go to Farm and Fleet but it would be a 1/2 day shopping experience. It was nice to see you and Treysoucie get back to being constructive. I am going to fab something up today. I have a 4 day weekend so...

Rim breakdown has become a real chore. Air is out of tires but I can't afford the big bar to persuade the ring. Any local help would be appreciated. On a brighter note my plates came. I am going nuts looking at my MVT's w/o rims in them.

I just got a call that my rear driveshaft is done. I still have to pay for it. I started pulling old tires off of rims last night. I am going to clean up my split rings and mount the MVT's pretty quick here. I just started a new full time gig this week. Yeah for sexual harassment videos and...

try try again.

Third time is the charm for pics

Thanks again Rodney!

Picked up some MVT's at Iola. That is my "tool truck" in the back.

Here's a picture of the second fuel tank installed.

Singling out the 109......... So here I am once again removing tandems. I know my wheel base for the van body and all of my marks are square corner to corner etc. The springs I will use are Eagle suspension and 57" eye to eye. They are 3" wide and the weight capacity is as good or better than...

Here are some pictures of the truck w/o the 109 shelter. I should have one showing the new exhaust. I took my son to a hovercraft demonstration today and we used the deuce. The last pictures are the deuce in my shop. I will be removing the driveshafts and tandems this weekend. I may get the...

The box required 2 fork trucks to remove. I pulled all the fenders and took all of the hardware out before I scheduled the help. I secured the box with some bolts for transport to the forklifts. I spent maybe 1.5 hrs lifting the box and bolting it onto the trailer. the hardest part was lining up...
