I put the cargo cover back on today. Had to road test to the ice cream shoppe just to be sure it was nice and snug.

Is that ME350 now an A2 with the troop seats and cargo cover?

Nah. A2 will be when I get around to a Cummins 12v swap. Still looking for the right donor.
Picked up one of those today. $1K for the whole truck. Pics to follow.
On the brush guard, chop it up and modify it to make it work for you.
Isn't that an EM-350?

Awesome build I'd love to have something similar it'd be really handy. Biggest pain would be closing the back of the cab up

Thanks!
I was going to use a cutoff van back with the roof section still attached. I found this cab back at a commercial scrap yard. Off of a junked UHaul. Really wasn't too bad. The original cut away cab had the flange and even the bolt holes to put them together. Yeah it's def handy.

NICE project and well executed.
I have been eyeballing a truck for its cab to put on my M923. My wife hate the truck and won't ride in it. The cab in your project is the same as the one I have been looking at and I like it because it has more of a nose than most vans.
My reservation is can I make a big enough hole in the firewall to cover the back of the engine and will the front fit over the radiator. I was thinking that I would take the fenders, the hood and the grill and weld them together and hinge in the front. From what measurements I have made, I would have to open up the wheel wells.
Got an opinion?
