This is the troop seat kit for the M1078/81

As expected, especially after getting the last pdf. I haven't looked but the exterior handle may be the same as used on some big rigs like a Kenworth or Peterbuilt. The rest of the door hardware is the same as earlier versions of FMTVs

Attached is the pdf of the late door hardware. Not going over it thoroughly, it looks as the exterior handle was the only item changed. Definately not a slam lock

Do you have a pic of the other side of the latch? Or the edge of the door. Slam locks aren't DOT legal. If the later FMTV used them, they are what they are... As I first said, I haven't seen the new handle assemblies firsthand. The original style is an "anti-burst" style which means the door...

A friend took these pics of the FDT with his Pinz 710K this last Sunday at my shop.

I don't have any knowledge on the newer exterior handles BUT very much doubt any of the US door handles are compatible. Other than the there are probably exemptions for military use, the slam latches in Gimpyrobb pic have not been DOT approved since 1972ish for passenger compartments, and the SD...

The SS / BAE series of FMTVs have 2 different types of door hardware. I've been looking for spares for my trucks and only found a few limited number of parts on flea bay.;) Sellers generally only know that it goes to a FMTV from the NSN and are totally lost after that. These trucks were made...

I knew the advertised specs. What you want to get from BAE is the "Build sheet" for your truck. It is not a "window sticker" but a list of everything that was installed on your truck at the factory. I've designed and had built several truck bodies over the years and ordered medium duty trucks...

Just curious, but are you sure what engine/trans is in your truck? The FMTVs had Cat 3116, then 3126. MD3070 trans. The SD Brazos are advertised with Cummin 6.7 and Allison 3700. Besides the obvious engine difference, I don't know about the trans...

Before I made my post, I was wondering how long it would take for a Mogger to take offense.:lol: Mogs are very capable machine, and was purposely omitted from the list because they are not a true forward control. The driver is still behind the front axle and the front axles on Mogs are moved as...

All forward control trucks handle differently than conventional cabs, especially when empty .This is from the small Haflingers, Pinzgauers, LR101 and into the medium duty 2 axle trucks. The lack of weight in the rear makes for a quick and easy way for the rear to easily swap end on downhill...

CF-Dart are the Canadian Forces-Disaster Response Team purchase contract. They were not reburished, as the chain tensioning system is completely different from the MK2. I also have the factory build sheet on them, which has engine #, trans #, start and completion dates. Oddy enougn, the cat I...

Before his passing, I know Dave was trying to sell his 2 MK2s. Both w/ 1.6 engines. Someone in Florida was looking at them and had contacted me and asked about the cats. I never heard anything afterwards. I have the softtop framework from the cat in the pic above, but haven't done anything with...

Well, there hasn't been any real new activity on the FDT, but today, I received these cool pictures I'm afraid to show them to the truck, it may remember it's last flight and have nightmares;):lol:

On the M1078 this week, obviously, you must have inspected it. From the pics, the missing/damaged parts are cheap, some are non-issues. But if it is missing major mechanical parts, I'd run from it...

Sorry, I don't kow the actual numbers, but if the CTIS setup isn't there, they'll probably be for a MRAP... they either have Michelins or Goodyears, 395/85 -20. That is why I posted the pics... if they don't look like that, you don't want them :)

the stud holes are the same size, look for the CTIS valve and lines on the rim.

Does anyone think it is too late to submit a warranty claim to BAE :lol: As some might remember, my PTO has been on constantly, and my temporary fix has been to unplug the solenoid. So with the perplexing problem of 'where is power being shorted at" (and no less comfusing to the gods), the hunt...

To bring up an earlier issue. The factory was aware of the thermo switch on the starter and bad contacts with the plug. They'd unplugged them and spliced the wires together. Eliminating the thermo switch all togegher. I haven't check my truck, but was told it is a plug on the back of the...

Full kit would be nice, but would need permission from the AmVet post commander. A couple more pics from the parade First, from the "mannequin" cam (she's a museum volunteer, and I don't think she moved once during the whole parade :lol:) the later, the "mannequin" with some 'behind the wheel'...
