    Registering a LMTV in California

    Step 1) move from CA States that allow for RV conversions typically have a list of like 10-12 things that would potentially make it an RV and you have to have 4-6 of the items on the list done to qualify as a conversion. You then get it weighed, show pics of the installed items, and then...

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    Heh, the only way one of these trucks sees 127mph is in freefall.... ;)

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Looks OK, but that driver-side antenna mount is way overkill and adds a lot of weight. You might want to pull that off and send it to me for proper disposal.... ;p I haven't decided if I want to fab one or just mount all my antennas onto the roof rack.

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    Rgr all. Yeah, I was just wondering which seats were in your truck given the mix of variants that it consists of. Do you have the box with the headrest pad above and behind the driver?

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    I can't find the post, but somewhere you mentioned your truck rode "washbvoard" rough. Do you have the A0 or the A1R seats? The A0 seats have the metal plate that your ass hits on every bump.. The A1R seats are suspension (pretty much look the same, but no metal plate and have much...

    Meh. A little JB Weld and it's the next owner's problem. ;p

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    I'd leave the spare at home long before I'd add that much weight over the cab. I do intend to have some stowage above the cab, but nothing my crippled old ass can't carry up a ladder with one hand. I don't even like the builds where people put those giant boxes full of crap up top that takes...

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    I'm looking to do a wired solution on the dash or column. Am I mistaken in that all I need for my C7 is a 5-pin relay and a switch setup? https://www.amazon.com/Rostra-250-3592-Cruise-Control-Switch/dp/B01H2YORG4/ref=asc_df_B01H2YORG4/...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    That's actually next on my todo list. Too damned hot today, though. :)

    New LMTV owner

    But...but.... <insert BS here> a) supply and demand b) junkyard rental property cost c) labor to remove *none of which apply to the vast majority of crap the surplus scalpers flip You're on the right track... Find the item/size you need on the civilian market. Pay pennies for the item...

    Cab Vent Knob

    I just measured the vent rod shaft and it's 3/16". That's a pretty common size for knobs on US cars.

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    As a site admin I can remember explaing it to folks back in the day who would load up bmps right off a camera dump. They'd embed dozens of MASSIVE images into a thread and users would scream about how it took 10 minutes for a single page to load over dialup. Good times....

    Cab Vent Knob

    Yep.. All you really need to know is the shaft dia. Threaded-on is a bonus but not always a necessity....

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    Resolution. If you don't start with a higher resolution, you can't ever get a high resolution. That said, some image formats (like .bmp) will *retain* higher resolution better than others (where formats like ..jpg will degrade resolution when converted). If you scan (or take a picture) at...

    Cab Vent Knob

    Many use a set screw. But you need to know the shaft diameter and the thread (if any) if you want to thread them on. You can do this with a nut if all else fails. Or take an existing knob to Lowes and find a bolt it fits (then you'll know the thread size). Autozone, Pep Boys, etc often have...

    Cab Vent Knob

    Might search eBay for "dash knobs". Lot's of options for hot rods, etc that look waaaaaay better than S&S OEM.

    Aftermarket CTIS covers for FMTVs

    Saw the FB ad. Not a bad looking product. I kinda favor the OEM design (or just a flat ring) as you can pull a tire w/o removing the cover, but that's not a huge deal. His roof rack is also interesting. While I'm not a fan of bolt-together stuff like that, it should help keep shipping...

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    Yeah, it could but I think they retain their build date (I had an '94 that had been back thru BAE's retrofit program and it retained it's original manufacture date). I think BAE was just making trucks with the bits on hand at any given time. And trucks produced in the middle of model changes...
