A FEMTT update!
Thanks Guys for the nice compliments! I have been really busy this spring and have not had time to update this thread.
I have made some progress on the FEMTT project though and finally found a moment for a quick update.
At the Military Vehicle Show in Phoenix Arizona last January, I had figured out that the front springs on the FEMTT, were for an M915 and not an M916-M920 truck!
With all the added weight they sagged badly and I had to replace them with the correct set of M920 springs. What a PAIN IN THE BUTT!!!!!
I'm also working on getting the first couple of "modules" set up for the back of the FEMMT.
Since I got lucky and was able to procure a hydraulic dump bed off of a military Oshkosh dump truck, I decided to make that the first module.
I had to shorten it about two feet in order to get it to fit on the back of the FEMTT.
The photos show it set on to the frame, to decide on the configuration for the ISO container twist locks (still on order after 3 Weeks!!
).
I will also start fabrication on the "Fifth Wheel Module" right away, so I have the truck tractor capability back ASAP.....pics will follow....
