Here is some pics of the finshed truck. I just didn't have time to post pics along the way. But its done and the rear steering is cool and works well.

These things do flex a bunch, and the cab pretty much floats on the frame even in the rear mount some because of it having the springs and rubber bushings. I was thinking maybey a 6 door in the future, but man this one has just about got me burnt out. I have been working day and night on this...

Who cares about the neighbors sounds like they need to get used to a little camo.:-D Nice meeting you.

Got the steps on and fuel tank on. Also mounted the powerpack in the empty battery box. I will see if I can make the steering work today.

Yea, thats the air cylinder that locks th axel tm, and the rear axel is just a new gov. rebuilt unit I just got a bunch of these in. It is sitting just like the front one with the tie rod in the back. The axels were rebuilt in 1989 I am curious to see if the wheel cylinders and all the seals...

Yea, I really don't like to sell guys wider tires for the stock rims. I have even run off a few customers because of that. They just don't understand that they are endangering thereselves and everybody else around them. Save up the money to buy the wheels or stick with the stock tires to be safe.

I though I would start a new thread on my second build and post a few pics up along the way. This model will be pretty much the same except this one will have rear steering. I have an air cylinder set up to lock the rear axel in the straight on postion for safe driving. It has a micro switch to...

I also sell a block heater, its 1500 watts, may be a little extreme for some guys. It fits the 2" freeze plug. I have installed a few for customers, for the northern country and they have been happy. I have used them and there is no need for starting aids of any kind. It will heat the whole...

Welcome, sounds like you have it ready to go for winter. I also have a M1009 as my parts runner and one of my snowplow trucks. I mainly deal with anything M35 related , but would be happy to help you out.

I am in the process of putting rear steer on my crew cab project, I may start a new thread on it once I get going on it.

Mike, I shipped out the window on monday, should get it this coming monday if you don't have it already.

I picked up a couple of front seats out of a 2001 Dodge 2500 with shoulder belts in the seats. I used some 2x3 tubing for spacers off the floor, and got the seats all mocked up ready to bolt in once it gets painted. I will get some pics up this weekend along with some more progress

Here is a couple of more pics of the second crew cab. Its going pretty well, picked up a couple of front Dodge truck seats with shoulder belts so that should save some time. Since I have a large supply on rebuilt front axels, I ordered some parts for a rear steer option just to do something...

Yea, I decided to stick with the 70 watt 13g's so maybey they would be less likely to swelling when they get to much voltage when going bad. I thought the 200 watt 60g's may be more prone to swelling with to much voltage, but I am not a pro at this. I am sure someone has some insight. NAPA's...

I just went through this with my M1009, its all stock still using the 13G's. Of course they burnt out, there is one other diffrence between the 13g's and the 60g's acording to the NAPA specs, the 13G shows them being a 70watt glow plug and the 60g's 200 watt glow plug. has anyone heard of this...

Should be pretty straight forward, anything can be done if you try hard enough.

The tires on the first on was 15.5-80R20 Michelin XL's, I have some brand new Goodyear 395 MVT's for this one, the same size (46") tall. Here is a couple of pics of the truck and donor cab. I also put a picture of a HIAB 071 knucle boom I picked up last week. Its is all self contained, with a...

I have done that in the past on another truck I built, I even put the pioneer rack on the drivers side. I was pressed for time on the last crew build and just never got to it. It takes time on those little details, but they make the truck. I have plans to do that along with some jerry cans. I...
