I'm doing this on an M818 with a Unimog 404 drop-side box. It's the perfect length, but I will need to widen it so the sides fall 180° and not rub the 1600s.I like the deuce beds better myself. Would like to see a bobbed dropside someday.

Hundy, In posting #238 on picture number two in the top center of the picture I think I see a weld on the second cross member of the trailer. Is the trailer frame also welded to the truck frame there or is that weld just to strengthen the trailer frame? If you could take some pictures of the inside of the truck frame after the welding is complete I would be in you dept. Also, how long is the total length of the new drive shaft and do you have any particular landmarks for measuring were to weld the trailer frame in place? If I am asking too many questions I apologize and I thank you for your information.
As always, looks great Mark !
What paint do you use?
im sure the wife loves it now you can repaint the house
Hundy, How are you dealing with the cross members of the trailer frame interfering with the drive shaft? any pics of what you do there?
Hundy......You are da man. I'm glad business is strong for you. Keep on truckin'.
And when I need more tires I'll just have to come out and see y'all and what's new at the yard. Oh darn.
That M-818 you have is a super clean truck. I remember that one when I came over last spring with my M-817 dumper and retrieved the M-105 you guys picked up for me at Barstow.
Nice find on the bus. There is so much space and so many options it is difficult to decide how you want to spec them out. Those V Detroits are real quiet inside and out. My Mom's bus has the 8V-92. She's a little sluggish off the line but once it gets rolling it pegs the boost guage at 35 psi and were gone. I've been told by the Detroit guys that the supercharger is mostly to create enough boost at cranking speeds to start the engine and that the turbo does the "work" once it's running. Being a 2 cycle engine they don't build a lot of pressure in the cylinders at low speeds is what they have said. Like you when I first started working on the 8V-92 I was all kinds of impressed that it had a super and a turbo........It's still way cool even if the super just starts the engine.
