Yeah, there are a few big differences in the boxes. I have a small access door on the passenger side where the O2 bottle goes. It actually lays flat on the floor right behind where the welder used to be. There are 2 pieces of angle to strap it to. Since I only carry a 125CF bottle of O2, I...

It's the older Dodge M887 body. The receptacle is where the factory fuel filler was on the Dodge. Mine is under the fender now but I plan to bend up some tube so that I can move the filler to that spot. While there I'll tee into the vent line so I can refuel on the fly from another tank in the...

Still underway Roy. Fabbing linkages for the crane at the moment. Needed a vise so this was born.

Also consider the costs and time to bone it out if that is what you end up doing. I've parted out deuces with and without a crane. Without a crane absolutely sucks. Saving the major parts I could likely pare it down to basic parts in a weekend with a wrecker. Another issue I encountered was...

Added a workbench to my SECM. Slides in and out easily.

What I'm about to say is pure speculation. While they do work for towing and the mount is plenty sturdy, the way it's mounted is not robust at all. I'd bet dinner that somewhere in a PM Magazine or other, there is a directive to remove them after tow. Any use as a recovery tool could be fatal...

Haha, in the old days we didn't have (or need) 4WD lights. The high elevation thing is peculiar. Definitely a feel is required to get it right.

Bed eh? Would need to bob a litter and lose the vise.

Here is a pic of how the vise is situated for work. I really need to get it cleaned up and painted.

The nuts for the vise mount are welded on the bottom. Vise can come off in no time and I can bolt my transfer tank right to the table for long trips. The bench can be pinned in various locations and the leg is only needed at full extension. More pics later.

I thought long and hard over that one. The vice is turned that way to close the door but operationally it faces the end of the table. Unlike many workbenches, I can work off the end of this one. It actually functions surprisingly well there. Instead of turning the vise to one corner or the...

You can easily remove the front drive flanges. As far as reversing the towbar, not sure you can. Ron's 819 is different as it doesn't have rear bumperettes. I think the M936 does.

Westy tested, Jenny approved!

Here is an update on mine. Since its the older M887 body, it was originally outfitted with the Hobart welder. Since I don't do any mobile welding and already have air onboard, I elected to get the body sans welder. This was my answer for good use of the space. Still a work in progress but you...

Folks, this thread has been great so far. In the near future I'm going to prune it down a bit and make it a sticky in this safety forum. For all those who contributed, thanks. For all those who gleaned info from it, share with others. Hopefully when new members come along, when we remind them...

I would be glad to offer advice. Unlike the experts though, I've only done a half dozen or so of the installs.

Welcome to the mix from Sunny S Floriduh.

Yes it is the.same for like years.

Take off kits are usually from $750 to $1500 and install is fairly straight forward. There are some threads on it here.

Ah K20?
