Here's some of my old 5 ton. Including one shot of me being very bad...

memories..... I do miss that truck...

I bet he has one sweet mobile home! Even the tarps and tires on the roof are probably zebrastriped.... (I do know who Ted Nugent is, but why he's still around I can't figure out...)

I really appreciate it. I take literally hundreds of pictures to help my reassemble everything the way it came apart, and also to document my work for eventually putting together a folder to show people what I did, and for the next owner to see the quality of my work. I find it's kind of a...

No, that is an air-line manifold. There are about 10-15 air hoses that connect to that from the outside and the inside, and it is a way for almost all the cab's pneumaitc systems to have one single junction point. I bet I could swap out a cab in less then an hour start to finish because of...

ABSOLUTELY!!! As most people that are interested in military vehicles already know - your truck may be the most impressive piece of equipment you have ever owned, but the actual population that are really interested in these things beyond "Gee whiz, that's a neat truck" is quite few and far...

Naw, I have beautiful legs...... I'm not sure what that was in front of the camera. I was in no condition to be operating a camera.....

Incidentally, because my sleep schedule has been complete out of whack lately, and because I normally work nights from 10pm to 6-7am, I felt that tonight was one of those nights where it was more important for me to work on my truck then to go to work.... I started out in the garage at about...

I don't think I'll be painting the fasteners on the interior. They are all stainless steel, and I think I will just leave them alone. I realize (much to the displeasure of you purists out there) that my interior is not going to look 100% stock MV, so I am focussing on making the interior...

Here's a couple more pics. I have been working hard on getting the steering gearbox/column in place, and located and installed the intercom/mp3 system next to the light switch. I'm going to start on the roof hatch and interior insulation as soon as it arrives.

Greetings, Ted! I spoke to you almost a year ago when I bought this truck. Good to see you here. From the amount of buzz about hemtt's I've been hearing lately I think there will be more and more joining the ranks in the future.

No, the exterior is going to be painted good ol' 3 color camo just like the mk48 in that last pic. Thanks!!!

That's the hook for the rear mounted material handling crane.

some pics from today.

Well, most of the bits and pieces inside it went to a good cause, but the cab itself is my original cab from the truck. The LVS cab has an entirely different mounting structure underneath and interior shape, so I wasn't able to use it for the cab. The doors and many smaller parts are, and...

the cab came home today. Now it's time for me to get to work...

This is a system I can use in addition to headlights while driving under regular circumstances. It will see out 3-4 times farther then the headlights will illuminate. I rigged up a magnetic test-mount that allowed me to mount the camera assembly on the roof of my pickup when I went to Colorado...

Re: RE: Studs and nuts $20 each!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: aua Let's see.... If I needed 16 for a hemtt wheel that's $320, plus $15 for the o-ring, and $21 for the valve stem.... That's $356 per wheel... 9 wheels - $3204.... That's for nuts and studs... Not even the wheels...

I searched fruitlessly for some time to find the correct 3/4" stiuds for my hemtt wheels... It's not easy... I ended up ordering a bag of 32 of them for $4 each.... Yup. $4 each from Oshkosh. I took an example to both the major fastener companies in the area, and also to a major truck...

This is totally off-topic, but Hattiesburg is the site of the only nuclear weapons test east of Colorado.... They lit 2 off in a salt dome south of Hattiesburg to see how the seismic data appeared so we could detect other countries testing underground. The site is completely unsecured land...
