Sorry guys, no progress on this truck. I still have plans for her but I caught the Gama Goat bug.

Sorry, no updates just yet. I still have big plans for her. Darn 5 tons have taken up all my time. Unfortunately, I've got a M35A2C w/w that will need new paint this summer. Looks like that'll take up my time this year.

Repainted truck and sealed the roof. Well...what started out as just seal a couple spots turned into re-sealing the entire roof...that lead to retouching a couple spots....that lead to well.....repainting the entire truck:???:. After everything was said and done, I rethought what I did. I...

I haven't done a whole lot with this trucks due to the M939 series truck coming into the yard. Most of my time has been spent on the M925A1 guntruck. Now that project is winding down, I have started refocusing on this truck. Not sure what I'm going to do but I still want a military style camper...

LOL, what outstanding timing. I picked up all three colors at HOME DEPOT last week and started painting last Wednesday. I decided to reseal the roof and well...one thing lead to another. I decided to repaint the truck;-). Here's what I used for color codes: 383 Green-FS34094 383 Brown-FS30051...

Wow, has it been this long since I stopped working on this project? Sorry, no updates. You can blame the 5 tons on this one...hahaha.

Haha, I've got the antenna truck and Scott's got the light truck.

Wow 9 lights...you'd definately need a relay for that application;-) I would think you wound't need the hi/lo beam floorboard switch. I'm thinking if you turn on those 9 lights, you'd be offroading where you'd need the extra illumination. You would need to find out the wattage you're going to...

switches and gauges It was a pretty warm day. I got a couple great ideas from AN/ARC186 about the use of accessory switches and headlight dimmer switches. The idea is to have a separate accessory switches for the aux lights, IR lights, backup lights, side lights, and the aux in tank pump. I...

Wiring Harness for Accessories-exterior By far not the most impressive set of pics. However, this was the most time consuming and back breaking task to date. What you see are a series of pics which represent the wiring harness I made custom for my accessories on my trucks (3 harnesses in all...

Haha my first youtube video upload ever. Nothing special

3rd Annual PNW Steelsoldier Parade/Convoy pics. I'm posting pics that ABN173 (Dale) took last weekend at our big annual rally. I neglected to take any pics of my truck with her trailer. I'm glad Dale was around to think for me:oops:. Lessons learned from the rally. My fellow SS were gracious...

Hey Scott, no problem. I have gotten so much off of SS in terms of knowledge so it is only appropriate to give back. I post all of my ideas to hopefully help/inspire others with their projects. Now some of my ideas may not be the best and may not turn out down the road. It's all trial and...

Well apparently the case of Gillespie rattle cans from RAPCO wasn't enough to complete the job. With the Third Annual PNW Steelsoldier Parade/Convoy looming in the shadows I had to act quick. I went to RAPCO to rush order another case of paint...DOH, ground shipping only!! Well that doesn't...

I've been doing very minimal work on the truck. I preparation for the upcoming PNW SS parade/convoy, I've been touching up the paint and adding a few little touches. I had planned on re-CARCing the entire truck but funds kept going somewhere else. Oh well hopefully by the end of the year this...

Rythmic bounce at 30 MPH. Why?? Took her out today. Not sure what it is. Whenever I hit 30 MPH she starts to bounce. It's more of a rolling bouncing from the rear of the truck to the front or front to rear. She does it during acceleration or coasting. No issues at 27MPH and below and no issues...

M105 Spare Tire Did some work to the 105 project a couple days ago. I mounted my spare tire. The job isn't done yet. I still need to drill holes for the bottom two bolt holes in the mount. The tire sits a bit lower than desired but I could always drop the tire if need be. The spare tire mount...

Window Tinting Cab Today I did something that went completely against my rules for this build. I deviated from mil-spec and tinted the cab windows. I had some tint left over from doing a job on my 2004.5 VW GLi. This is something I've been pondering for sometime. Today was the day to get this...

Did some minimal work to the truck today. It was way too nice to work. I decided to take the top off the '68 and drive her around town. At the last minute I added a middle seatbelt for my daughter. Took the two kids out for fun in sun, deuce style;-) Oh yah, I was talking about the 109. I...

Outstanding idea. I may got back and put sand in the kinked one and give it a try. I put air pressure in it and it doesn't leak. I know I won't get the best fuel flow but no problem.
