Here's a little more custom stainless examples.

Starting the overhead console. This (along with the cover panels that are not shown) is made from aluminum then covered in Cordura to match the rest of the interior.

Thank you. We designed and fabricated it, along with many other parts ourselves. It is made from stainless steel since that is what we work with the most. As soon as we finish the overhead console and the switch panel, we will take more photos and post.

They both used the same vision blocks and the entire assembly on the top hat variant rotated where the top ring and doors rotated on the clam shell. Overall height wasn't much different though. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=124498&d=1242911737

The clam shell is the two piece but the one piece (which looks more like a clam opening up) is referred to as a "top hat" cupola...I have a couple clam shell cupolas and one top hat variant...but it was from a later vehicle.

For the most part, all the cupolas will interchange. Even the turret on a V100 will bolt right on. Noticeable exterior characteristics include the clam shell cupola, flush mounted front engine plate, rigid front/rear fenders, direction of the fire extinguisher pull and subtle differences on the...

Will do. I have lots of photos going back to around 1978 when it was a fire truck for a small community in Tennessee that I grew up in. Back before all the roads were paved, this machine was quite popular but as roads were improved, communities grew and equipment was upgraded, this M715 was...

It's a 20T hook, with another on the front side. Functional but way past the capabilities of the winches they're installed on. This vehicle is to play with and show off, not necessarily something to beat around in because the 440 evidently loves the taste of fuel :shock:

Still making progress on the M715.

Pitch diameter of the drive sprocket is all that's needed. The thickness of the track wouldn't have any affect of the distance per revolution unless the track never left the sprocket (as in being completely wrapped around it much like a tire on a rim)

Not exactly sure what void the ripsaw is expected to fill or role that it is needed to play but I like it for the novelty value. Tracked vehicles obviously have their place but the track itself is always going to be the weak link. As far as the deuce axles goes, they are the ones found in...

We were there for a scene in an upcoming film and went for a cruise after the shoot. https://youtu.be/h6yxy57U3K0

Standard 2-1/2 ton rockwell seals. Any hydraulic shop can cross the seals in the cylinder and I've even recut other cylinders to replace missing ones. Any heavy truck place should be able to cross the shocks, they did mine.

As if to indicate they're slow?:twisted:

Those look like an area designation somewhere within the Oak Ridge Nuclear facility where this vehicle was used. Y-12, X-10, K-25, etc were examples of what areas were (are) called. I have a lot of family who either does or did work there.

If you've got the resources to find everything you need to put it back original, then that is always going to be the most popular option. I've done restorations as well as what I've become infamous for...Full Tilt Custom[thumbzup] Among the most difficult projects I've ever done is correct...
