S-788 shelter

[04mustang]

Does anyone know what generator is supposed to go into the generator tunnel of a s788 shelter?
I bought one from GL and it has AC installed but the generator has been removed.
Thank you,
Corey

Did you get the one out of Jackson?

I got it out of bragg

What happens to the taillights when this shelter is put on? Or does it require a mounting base similar to the s-250 base which had taillight extensions on it?

From what I can see it just mounts in the bed and bolts to the fender. its a S-788 shelter that was designed shorter so it doesn't overhang the rear of the truck and leaves the tail lights in place.
For the normal S-788 shelters I believe there is a mounting area under the rear of it for the tail lights to be relocated.

it requires a little more then bolting it to the fender. It uses a frame and support on the airlift bumper.
here is a truck I finished a few months back.

That shows the full length s788. The shorted on doesn't stick out the back like that. It stops at the tailgate. With the tailgate being removed.

Never seen one...but I'm sure due to weight, it's got a mounting system.

Here is my exact one. I brought it home today.
600 lbs.
My current plans are to build this into an expedition trailer mounted on to a m101 trailer frame. What I want to do first is to take a generator and hook it up and check out the electrical side of it. Then I need to get the AC system recharged and check it out.

Didn't gl sell those Arabic ones that had that shelter on it?

I am interested in the generator control panel, and cable, if you are not going to use it

Did you read this thread? He is looking for the generator that belongs in this shelter. I am just guessing, but he may need those items.

In that case I will have one for sale in a few months

I would be interested in the generator depending upon price.

Do you have a source for the center-bonded bushings used to mount the shelter to the frame/bracket? I can't seem to find them...

And have you found a good way to fix damage to the skin? I was going to just cut out an aluminum panel and rivet/cement it, as I'm guessing the skin isn't weldable. Think it would be possible to alumaweld it?

Thanks!

That will be TM 9-6115-670-14&P. There is a copy posted in the forum. A while back, I remember someone in SS had one or two of them extra. Didn't know what they were for, and wanted to know what he could do with them. They might still be around.
