M109A3 conversion in progress, setting the standard

[63sierra10]

I will give it a shot here on the pics. First is as it sits interior shot. I am getting the stuff gathered to make it more liveable, you know beds, stove, an rv furnace, etc. etc. I also have an M103 gen. trailer without the gen. set that will be attached with all the energy providing items.

I really enjoy the pics instead of video as well - really gives a member time to look at your work and view the details instead of passing by in a video and pausing - just a suggestion.
Good work on your rig

I was very lucky because the inside of the sheet metal area inside box was not rusted and looked real good!

Have fun sanding that military baby doo doo green paint on the inside of the box, must me epoxy?

Ugh. Tell me about it. I just patched all the holes, scrubbed it down with TSP, and then painted over it. I used a low-nap roller so it's got a nice texture that helps hide all the small imperfections. Didn't bother cutting-in the corners because the cabinets cover-up most of the walls and ceiling anyway, and I'm not a painter...

on a roll here

Gotta be careful with the refer cabinet and top vent. cabinet needs to be as tight to the sides of the unit so the condensing works properly and the top vent must be in the correct position to let the rising heat flow out properly. I had to crunch the numbers so the access cover on the outside would be just above the side hat channel guard on the side of the box and have the refer in correct relation with the access cover. It all worked out!

U guys have done awesome work! Makes me seriously consider changing my entire plan frm a crewcab m35 to a m36 chassis crewcab w/m109 box! WOW

Heh Guys, sorry for the big lapse in uploading, here are some pics of the toilet system and black tank im installing in my M109A3, i will attach some more of the toilet in next post,
I will be installing the removed pioneer rack on the front of the van box on the drivers side. it will be vertical in mounting!

 

[mastergunner53]

I had fun finding a tank to fit over the spare tire, thanks to my friend we found a supplier and it just made it in the area I had to work with. I used stainless steel brackets to mount the tank up and the toilet is directly above the tank in the front left corner of the van box. The toilet assembly will be complete when i finish the plumbing/water supply to the toilet for the flushing mode! I will be installing a vent pipe from the top of the tank going near the center of truck and up the bathroom wall thru the roof. Basically the same as an civy RV.
