Looking at the M1088, if I unbolt the 5th wheel stuff and some of the other stuff a box should bolt right on. And their is the 290 HP !! And the main reason is I mite be able to bid and win this one ?? LOL Mainly because it is harder to convert it ! Would have been better to get a M1078 but...

Good one, LOLrofl I stand corrected.

Thanks !

Suprman, are the rear axles full time or switched ?

Still thinking about this. Other than the 5th wheel stuff is their anything ? When I did my Semi/RV I just pluged the 5th whell lines. Been looking a photos of rear deck and see what is a cooler. Ideas what it is cooling ? Rear axle's ? Still trying to find TM,s on this truck. Man it was used...

Its the caster built into the steering system.

After looking a lot of photos it looks like a no-go. Thanks for the input guy's.

Is their a selector switch for one or two driving rear axles ? Or is it full time ?

As I start looking at this idea I think I would use the holes that are their and just do some plating. Been thinking about a air bag rear ?

Great info,Thanks Duckworthe.

So is the rear most axle the same as a M1078 ?

This has me thinking ? The box is 7'6' x 17'

No,silly. Its just removing one drive axle. LOL OK I just reread it. My bad. 6x6 to a 4x4 .

Oh,THANK'S !LOL Maybe I need to rethink my 4x4 RV and open it up to a 6x6 ? Need to go and look at how long they are.

How hard would it be to make a M1088 MTV 6x6 into a 4x4 ? I keep seeing them going for lower $ or not being bid on at all. I have taken a tractor from 2x4 to 2x2 on my Semi/RV conversion. Know it would be some work but maybe it could be done ? Randy Yes I know,"just get a M1078".

How about this ? http://www.tooldiscounter.com/ItemDisplay.cfm?lookup=AGSBLFA-8&source=froogle&kw=AGSBLFA-8&gclid=CjwKEAjw_ci3BRDSvfjortr--DQSJADU8f2j9k771vChHP3lRV9NFzuv5m72JT8m-_fVL2B2olyofhoCG6vw_wcB http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/air-fittings-and-supports-c-9025...

You bring up a great question . I have not worked out the chassis idea yet.Was going to ask Eric about that ? My first idea was to test the frame deflection with the standard bed and then test with it removed. Not sure if it has already been done ? Maybe Eric will chime in ? I did build a...

Something like this ? I have the same idea. And for me, the answer is yes. Their is a lot to learn but the guy's here are great. Down load the TM's and start reading. Maybe if you have National Guard unit you could go to the CO and ask for some input from some drivers. That is saying the...

Nice job ! Good idea.

What about drilling a hole in the "U" bracket and then a hole in the bushing and installing a zerk fitting ? Maybe from the rear side ?
