So is it a M1078 with a different cab or M715 with different motor + big tires? I read of a trucking company locally that wrecked a truck requiring a new cab; the paperwork follows the cab. So, Kaiser-Jeep it is.

Hi Joaquin, I was researching a reverse rotation xfer case , trying to remember if there were any 2 speed offerings in standard rotation. I will check my notes. I can't say much because I haven't done it.

Progress update December 2

I'm in !

I deleted the pump because I 86'd the spare tire deployment mechanism + the suck down cylinders + cab tilt feature = why keep it? ;)

Some notable progress when comparing "then" to "now":

Lots of stuff done: rebuild the floor, mount folding bench seat, add steering column, hang the brake pedal.

Mocking up the bedsides around the engine. Four brackets then it's done.

Delete the hydraulic kneeling circuit. I understand some of us still load their FMTV onto C130s so need it, but for the rest of us it is useless complexity. I considered splitting the circuit then using the cylinders as suck down winches, but got over it.

Front gladhand delete. Nearly every "How come my brakes don't work right?" problem traces back to one of the three pneumatic valves that support front glad hand functionality.

Bypass the reverse polarity box. Gain 0.7 volts diode drop, lose a common corrosion location. Delete one of the two series battery strings. Running two batteries is easier on the goofy dual voltage alternator. The exception would be for large electrical load application, such as a shelter...

Status of the conversion. It's been too dang hot to work on it. September weather will probably kick my butt as well, so maybe some good progress in October?

Search for OH32MO2 to see 6x6 & 4x4.

I sent in my renewal. It will totally be worth it if the big red "next" goes away :)

I source it locally : https://g.co/kgs/zmnvFz One stop shopping for coolant hose, hydraulic hose w/ fittings to length, fuel line, air hose.

Kryponite, huh? :)

I do not know what vehicle the wheel/tire,guards are for, but they fit my LMTV bolt pattern and hub size. You can freeze frame in the video to read off the numbers. I purchased them as an assembly. That is how I will do it in the future: NO MORE BUSTING DOWN BIG TIRES FOR ME !

Installed these yesterday. They fit the steelies but not the aluminum Hutchinsons. Could drill a pattern to match I suppose, though there would only be maybe 3 threads of stand-off engagement at the wheel.

Today changed out the 16.00 tires for 14.00s.

I have supported on and off over the years...time for " on" again 8)
