Excellent fabrications. Thank you for all the photos you are posting as you do the modifications to your truck.

Drew, I agree, it was a good idea going forward with your build. When I looked at the 48+ wires I cut and labeled I knew there was no turning back at this point. But I have done this many times when I worked at GM Desert Proving Grounds when building mock up vehicles during the winter. I also...

The front cut-out is exactly how it will get the air to the radiator. This is a large opening and slopes up near the radiator which provides good airflow. For the my build, I will not build any major structure in this area to restrict the airflow. If I put a winch in later, it will be low...

The doghouse will be removable. Between Soni's & Drew's build they have worked through many of the challenges one would have faced by being the first one to do these builds. You would not believe how many times I go through both of their builds and photos and use it as a photo instruction manual...

Shifting completed, ROPS enclosure, Front guard progress Even though it was 115-117 degrees outside this weekend I was able to make a little progress on few parts of the truck with the materials I had available. Received the shift cable in the mail, and it is an exact replacement for the...

Did not have as much time to work on the truck last weekend as I had to work. But I did get a few things done including finishing the exhaust and mounting the air cleaner assembly, and start on the mount bracket for the front guard. This week I will start to build the rest of the engine doghouse...

Exhaust fabrication Today made a little progress on the exhaust and lower radiator house. The exhaust will be placed like a HEMMT except will exhaust will exit on the passenger side to reduce the noise for the driver. Brackets are clamped in place and will be welded once all modifications are...

You did a great job with the fabrication and write up. Thanks for sharing this modification.

Engine Doghouse build Worked on the engine doghouse this weekend for a few hours before it was to hot to touch anything metal outside. The main structure is in place, but still need to make support brackets that tie into the existing m932A2 front cab mount brackets that go to the frame. Front...

wiring and cooling update Well the wires are all spliced/soldered and shrink tubed together. Just have a few in the cab to extend (indicator lamps, shifter). Ordered some radiator hoses and 90 degree extension tube which will get painted. Sent 2 hoses back to Amazon because the quality is not...

Spent yesterday separating out more wiring to determine which ones needed to be cut and additional wiring added in. There are 40 wires that where separated and cut, labeled one by one with cable labels to make it easy to go back together. The section that goes in the cab was routed to the proper...

Yes wreckerman, it is a dry heat for a few more weeks till the Monsoon season starts. I should be thankful that we do not get the humidity that Alabama gets :cool:

Not much progress to report from last weekend. Have relatives in town for the next few weeks. I did have to remove the passengers side air manifold to clean out the passages. The cab has been sitting awhile, and all the passages seemed to be plugged with dirt. They were actually plugged with...

Air Lines and Electrical progress This weekend I concentrated on moving the wiring harness forward and determining the best spot to cut the wires, and add in about 7 feet of wire. Where the wire originally went into the cab on the M932A2 has the least amount of wires. All the tape is striped...

Thanks MyothersanM1, many states allow a learners permit so the person can drive with a licensed Class A, B driver. It would be helpful for Toudi to have this so on the long stretches of open freeway he could help out with the long drive, and get some time behind the wheel. He would just need to...

PM sent. I recommend doing this in sections of the trip where you take time after driving a few states, and then take time to do preventative maintenance along the way. Take time to get names and numbers of SS members along the way that can assist you along the way. I Can help out with tools...

Looks great Rayzer. You should have enough power with the Onan to run just about anything in your RV.

MK-48 and M932A2 Build Thanks to the help from M35A2-AZ and Castle Bravo today helping set the MK-48 cab on the M932A2 chassis today. It went very smoothly with Albert's wrecker and his excellent helper (his wife) operating the wrecker boom. The cab came out exactly as I had visioned it with...

Do you have any completed photos of this build? Thanks

Starting on actually two builds.....well one is a model of a M977. I did get a chance to actually start on my cab brackets and mounting them to the frame extensions, and unbolt the radiator and check the fit when rotated 90 degrees. I think it will work fine with some slight modifications and...
