I made the mount. Posts #2260 and #2262 a few pages back show the boxes.That set-up looks real nice; is that your creation?
And just curious, but what kind of boxes are you planning; ammo boxes or something?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Yes, there are much grander plans unfolding forward of those boxes. I'm waiting on a few key pieces to arrive and I'll post an update. Here's a teaser shot for now...Frame for boxes, no winch, i think someone else might be fabbing a electric winch operation up!
Ahab, your way of speaking through pictures always entertains. That picture is pretty close to what I looked like after spending most of the night welding that up, lol.I apologize to you for not picking up on that.
I am ALWAYS missing these kinds of things. There must be an explanation.

Yeah, convert them to electricGot the vacuum operated wipers working(kinda).... Anyone have any ideas?
There are several manuals in the TM section, may be what you are looking for. Sections of the manual cover vast parts of the engine, which for a lot of the 809 series trucks like yours is most likely the NHC 250 Cummins. I don't think, but not 100% sure if they put any other engines in them, but like I say, not 100% on that.Hey all
Been looking for info on the net, unsuccessfully, for a service Manuel for my NHC 250 in my 813a1. Any one know where I can download one? Also I am curious as to how many pounds of oil pressure she should be running.
Thanks guys
Almost forgot to answer your question on the oil pressure.Hey all

I hope not. Just never know using it commercially. Might make DOT guys happier and not get the fine tooth comb broke out.It's like carrying an umbrella if you don't want it to rain:
- Now that you got it, you won't need it (or I sure hope so).![]()
The triangles are law once commercial so I, again, pulled overkill and put flares in there as well. I figure on some blind turn on these hills at night it's best to give plenty heads up.Agreed.. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. In my case it's second nature to carry an extinguisher, first aid kit, and emergency triangles, as I am required to keep those items in my work truck at all times (not a law here, but it is our company policy.)
Do you have any idea what the thinking is behind all that?Also acquired a Mitsubishi 130 amp 24V J-180 short alternator and appropriate Cummins 8.3 civilian J-180 short alternator bracket for proper installation. Alternator is internally regulated with automatic temperature compensation (higher charging voltage in colder temps), dual internal fans, and can report alternator load % via a PWM signal output. This alternator is used on Renault trucks in Europe, as 24V is common on medium and heavy duty trucks for both on and off road in Europe and Japan, as where in US, 12V is common for on-road, and 24V for off-road (construction equipment, etc...).
