Gonna do the parade of lights next weekend and all of the lights I ordered arrived today so why not get them on the truck. Santa will ride in the back and will be lowered to the ground in my crane. We are working on a chair for the crane this weekend. Should be a blast. I will post pictures after the event.

Thought I would post pictures of my nearly complete custom interior i built for my M1083A1.
I measured and remodeled an FMTV CAD model I downloaded, designed everything in SolidWorks, cut the panels from tempered fiberboard, glued on foam mylar insulation in the back, and screwed it into the cab after I dynamatted and filled every crevasse with foam sheets and spray foam. Next is a radio console in the top middle, and top side panels.

I don't partake of any sort of tobacco, but you're welcome to use it for that!
Very first thing I did to the truck when it was delivered to my friend's ranch was installed these hasps the next day using Dave's video as reference. Then a few months ago I installed the door handles using the videos of endless adventure for reference.
Puck Lock Holder, surface mountable, For Master lock, War-lok, etc | eBay
Annoyed at having your puck locks roll around when they are not locking up your vehicle or storage unit?. These precision designed holders mount to any surface with three M6 or 1/4-20 flat countersunk head screws (not included) Just insert the lock and it's securely and snuggly held in place...

I posted the part numbers and everything before but here it is. I have included a template Don't print it out but rather make your own based upon these dimensions. It includes the dimensions to the edges of the door. When I mounted it like this slightly different than what he mounted it as in the video You don't need to modify any brackets. You do need to cut the access hole in the back but not necessarily as big as he did or as big as I did. The window pane came close to the bracket in the spring so I cut some flexible plastic sheet such that the window slides over it and doesn't touch.
FMTV Replacement Door Handle Upgrade Kit - Lower cost - Looking for input
I replaced the outside handle with locking Trimark door handles, replaced the door latches with double jaw Bearclaw latches. If I was doing it again, I would use the single jaw, it fits better! It is well worth the work involved, the factory stuff is pure junk. Mike
