Thank you for the nice compliment it means a lot to me coming from a master fabricator. And thank you for visiting my humble thread. It was overweight as soon as I got into the truck rofl
Just the facts behind the build:
The sheetmetal of the center console is about the same gauge as the...
Had a computer crash this weekend -so today was the first day I could work on the center console.
I took the console to my friend's shop in order to fill in the welded seams before painting. He had some compound that is finer than Bondo and volunteered to apply it on my project. He...
Today I cut all the openings into the console I build yesterday. That included the opening for the radio/CD player, (2) 6-1/4" diameter holes for the speakers, (3) 1-1/8" holes for the 12 volt power outlets, (2) 2-3/8" holes for the cup holders, 12" x 10" opening for the storage compartment...
Well today I finally got a chance to work on the center console. I took out the saw horses and sheetmetal and started to measure and draw cutting lines. Once I had some lines drawn I brought out the new plasma cutter and started to cut the sheemetal (using a straight edge as a guide). The...
Last Thursday I sat down and resigned a center console for the truck. I had taken the dimensions earlier in the day. I plan to make the center console fit around the bench frame that supports the bucket seats. Got a nice drawing done. The center console will include a radio/CD/mp3/USB and SD...
Update 1of 2

I started by removing the items stored under the seat. I then unbolted the 4 bolts holding the bench seat in place. Once I removed the bench seat I...
I have one for the M939 series with tensioner/spooler for $1200 if someone can give it a ride to the rally. (no extensions or other parts included) Cable is installed.
I have some 81mm tall and 120mm tall ammo cans for sale. $15 each. Will need to have someone like juanprado or another member bring them to the rally. trailboss may be able to bring some of the 120mm cans since he is storing some for me.
I also have M939 dash panels (instrument panels) for...
How soon do you need the seatback? I am upgrading my M1008 bench seat with 2 bucket seats very very soon. The bottom is shot but the back in in very nice shape.
Sorry i dd not notice you already had that on the driver's side. I wonder if they had the markings on both sides or either side..... Thank you for the clarification. Carry on sgt. :driver:
I am referring to the USA and W601416 under it in large white letters. Maybe Dave could put some thing similar to it on your K-18.
Also what is mounted above the windshield on both sides? Antennas or mirrors? It's hard to tell. ( In the newspaper photo)
As I stated a few comments back, I cancelled this project. The M109 box was sold to a member in TX and the M923 was sold to a friend here in Slidell earlier this year.
