Thanks for the reminder. I keep forgetting to add this to my list...

Are you on FB? There's a FB group named "lmtv mtv military trucks" and folks trade/buy/sell/play forward stuff all the time. Lots of folks with parts trucks. Bed hardware is so common and slow to move and takes up tons of space, so it's often scrapped. Someone on there can hook you up...

I'm planning to welding mine shut and doing some filler before I sound/heatproof the cab and build my upper console.

I'm an A1R owner and I can confirm that is for this truck It would sure be nice to finally have something specific to the A1R and C7 Good job ! ;)

Now would be a great time to cut out the military connector and replace it with a civilian 4-wire plug. Pros: 1) Less expensive 2) Easily acquired Cons: 1) May not come in military green 2) No fun to hoard 3) Cannot resell for 500% markup

Yeah, a lot of my buds moved there in the 80's to windsurf. Some are still out that way kiting.

Echoing the two batteries to get you going. I've run only dual bats in both my trucks with no issue (other than a thicker wallet). I wouldn't recommend it for sub-zero weather, so watch your thermometer on Maui. ;) Battery layout credit from someone else here (sorry, I don't recall).

Can of FlexSeal "As Seen On TV!" Mine doesn't leak but I might want the truck to float up-side-down...

You could actually make one that plays any tune. Basic concept is the same here:

Those guys make $3500 a *day* off YouTube streams. That's what's crazy, d00dz. ;)

As I said, useless and hard to make out but enjoy.

I'll snap some. Again, pretty worthless though unless you have a 5-ton Freightliner and this kit with these wires and brackets. There are drawing of the truck doors that seem to have zero baring on the installation (unless you are looking to make a Freightliner door). LOL The print is...

There are some wiring and mounting schematics that came with the kit but they are specific to the 5-ton Freightliner install. Not really of much use but I can take a pic if you need them. But seriously nothing of value...

The old kits that GP sold were: Freightliner of Savannah A22-53833-000 Equalizer MWO Kit The Bussman unit is the same one they used in School Buses: 21100E00 Battery Equalizer The data sheet...

Yeah, I got one off GP when they first showed up. They were NOS and a super good deal at $100 and came with a TON of wiring, a 24v regulator, and a massive disconnect switch. It's just been sitting on my "to do" bench for the past several months. I just haven't figured out where to mount it...

I almost went and got a free hot tub someone had removed from their backyard. It was one of those above ground jobs that I could just use my crane and set in the M1082 trailer. I think I will look into one come next winter for the beach. People get tired of them or upgrade and they are...

I think at the end of the day you simply have to rely on the math, else much of this is based on perception and differs greatly in various scenarios/environments. I do find it an interesting topic and I've gone back-and-forth on whether or not to re-gear my M1079A1R. I've no background with...

I like the fact that the A1Rs had added a 12v gauge. These trucks (like ambulances, etc) are notorious for vampiric draws and on both my trucks they were 12v. It's handy to know your charge states of both systems (because either can prevent the truck from starting). So I would add a 12v if I...

If I were 20 years younger and had the money, I'd go this route (my all-time favorite custom Baja Bug dash). ;)

I wouldn't say it's a dumb idea at all. In fact I'd say additional switches a gauges a highly valuable. Look at a civilian semi dash compared to the scant amount of switches and information displayed on one of our trucks. You have to remember that some models of trucks don't lend themselves to...
