It has been a long time since I've updated this thread, and have recently gotten some 716/18 info worth posting. First, the total number of Austrian made TD's was 5215 The UK made Pinzes totaled out at 1210 to 1214 ( depending on which source you believe, one an ex ATL employee, the other...

My recommendation is to buy the newest 716/718 you can ( considering condition also). The original TDs were the P80, then the P90 and finally the P93 made in Austria. Model changes came with improvements. In Canada, you could import up to a 2005, but only 7 718's made in the UK were LHD...

This was my thread on building a War Pig several years ago. In those days, there were few FMTVs in private hands. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?86861-Just-bought-a-MTV-M1094-LVAD

From the pic and my memory, that looks like the quick release valve for the front brakes. My M1094 was missing it when I got it in '12

I used some old 8 lug Dodge van wheels on a M101A3, fit fine and with smaller tires, lower the bed height drastically

The Swiss had a "shop" version based on the ambulance body for the 712. One for sale here. http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10552 Very rare to see one that hasn't been gutted for a camper. Fire trucks are also quite rare. Total production of 710/712s was somewhere...

I might have known what you meant, but the uninformed wouldn’t. The last 15 years I have been supplying laminated windshields for gray market Pinzgauers, Haflingers and Unimogs that did have tempered windshields and the owners had no idea of the danger.

Windshields are made from LAMINATED glass not tempered. Its been the law in the US since the 1930s. Tempered glass has been used in Europe up to the '70s and later, and many 3rd world countries, but you are putting an IED in front of your face. When broken, tempered glass shatters into a bunch...

I've been using fuses for 5 years now. And actually prefer a fuse. They are either good or blown. Circuit breakers can go bad like any other electrical component. It is possible for them to trip way below the rated amperes causing someone to think there is an electrical issue when there isn't...

Thank you! It doesn't seem like it has been over 5 years since I started the project, or over 4 since it's 1st show on Memorial Day 2013! :shock: A gun truck build would seem more in line for M-35 or such. I don't keep up with the forum, and since several of the LVAD M1081s and M1093s have...
