Indeed it was an excellent time. Great to meet everyone. Next time perhaps a bigger convoy!

If you have issues with registration - there's always Utah. SF97 is one of their options and I'm sure they can work with either one. www.dirtlegal.com They got me sorted out and I can't say enough good things about their customer service and attention to detail.

Can confirm - mine stuck partially closed - that took a minute to figure out. It was just mechanically stuck with rust and carbon, etc.

Very similar. And not that far off from the $1550 shipped I paid for the correct cab unit. They have gone up this year and as we get closer to summer..... it's a supply and demand thing. That RedDot unit may be $600 cheaper than current asking price for the military unit but the supply likely...

For anyone that is curious - the FMTV cab AC evaporator/heater unit cost the US Army $2713 per unit. NSN: 4130-01-562-6391 COOLER UNIT, AIR

Well the military felt that LED's with defrost grids were enough of a benefit to roll them out to essentially every truck. Currently they are supplied by TruckLite.

AOAP sample valves.

Couple thoughts: Gov Planet generally has the worst condition trucks - they are the final resting place for all the units that no other agency wanted. The military gives preference to many other outlets before they end up at auction. Also once you win the auction you must apply and be approved...

Certainly looks that way.

Actually the Honda Element was produced in East Liberty, Ohio for the US market. This is now a global economy. Guess which pickup truck is the "most American" now? https://www.motorbiscuit.com/the-2020-toyota-tundra-proves-its-more-american-than-the-ford-f-150/ Yep. It's the Toyota Tundra...

They are ugly as sin and I wouldn't own one, but I did have a customer with 470k miles on the original drivetrain. Hard to call it a POS. I may not like it and I may not want one and I may even disagree with owning a foreign car in general but anything that can last that long on the original...

By all means copy the factory bracket. If you can get your hands on one to copy it would be even better but then of course why not just use it unless it's on loan..... But I don't see a problem if you copy it faithfully. I think we can all agree that the OP's design of hanging it off the...

IDK if any of you have seen Sean Fillner's YouTube videos about attempting to install a RedDot hydraulic AC system. Fun stuff and I applaud his innovation and tenacious resolve to make it work..... Spoiler - He eventually gave up and installed the proper brackets and a belt driven pump. "If...

Totally. My TIG is setup most of the time for aluminum - we use a lot of tubing for intercooler piping, coolant hard piping, etc. For something like that bracket I would use MIG though since it's like 10x faster on 1/4" steel plate. Or run arc with your TIG setup - that would work great too I'm...

Yeah the scalpers like MWE can f*ck right off. They don't get my business either. The brackets though.... I mean you've got material costs which is not just the steel - you have an idler in there and several fasteners. Having someone make them like Tom is doing would cost as much as he is...

They are quite substantial (1/4" plate) and duplicates of the actual military version - two piece with the adjustable belt idler. Not like the cheese that MWME sells for $299 where the compressor is the belt tensioner. I mean sure - I could make my own. But I don't have the jigs and plans, and...

It's just a single PDF. Archive.org generates all those other files like torrents and other indexing tools it uses for it's search engines and so forth. You can download the single PDF or all the of files and the single PDF will be one of them. Look for the 28.3 Mb PDF. Edit - here's the direct...

LoL. The way I see it - if I can own the truck then I can own the schematics. If I wanted to I could buy a truck and reverse engineer the schematics. All it would take is time and money. It's not like these are schematics for a weapons system - it's a cargo truck. Stewart and Stevenson even sold...

These are the real deal. Promise.

If someone would like to put this in the TM's section - here's the schematics for the A0 through A1R Gen IV all in the same PDF: https://archive.org/details/fmtv-schematics-a-0-a-1-r
