Thanks Danger Ranger :D The next time you guys see this part of the V100, it will look quite different. This area will be the target of the next modification, and it looks really nice on the computer right now. Metal is already being cut, and prep work is already being performed. I will keep you...

I was fortunate enough to have him drop in (unannounced) to the shop and look at the vehicles we've done...then he gave me a copy of his book and autographed it. I'm really grateful8)

I got a chance to meet and talk with Tom A Johnson, A Vietnam chopper pilot who wrote a book called "To the Limit". Really an interesting guy and regrettably agent orange is finally taking it's toll on him. Glad to have been able to shake his hand "Tom A. Johnson flew the UH-1 “Iroquois” —...

Glad to hear that some of you were able to enjoy :-D

here's highlights from several videos

Hello Rory, We've been working quite a bit on the computer for this project, more specifically on the front and top. Recessed lights, winch relocation and a lights bar mount are among the current tasks. As far as the tunnel goes, it looks really nice and gets back a few inches here and...

Actually ownership and possession are two entirely different things. The DOD 1033 program allows qualified agencies to possess certain surplus DOD equipment, according to the terms of the DOD 1033 program. All equipment under this program is basically loaned to the receiving agency and must...

The winch is PTO pump driven and the steering has a belt driven pump. The steering gear info is from the service manual, p12 in the 'Tabulated Data' section

I found it, looks like it is 3.75 gal/min @ 1225 PSI...thanks anyway guys

Thanks Jeff. I'm not using the hydraulic winch on this one but I am curious what pressures/volumes are needed for the steering so I can see if I can match the capabilities of the pump with another pump, which hopefully will also match what I need to operate the F550 hydrobooster.

Does anyone know what pressure the hydraulic circuit for power steering and the winch runs at on the V100? I'm trying to see if the pump mounted on the 2006 5.9 cummins will work for this.

Installed the first brackets for the crew seating. Trying to get as much of the cutting and welding done as possible before abrasive blasting is done. Removing all unused weldments from the interior as I go.

Starting on the interior panels now. There are plenty of angles to deal with along with making the diamond pattern not only run horizontal, but also have proper timing between the panel sections so that it all looks like one piece. The driveshaft tunnel was cut and realigned since...

Thanks Robert, ordered them today!

I'm kinda stuck until I can get some info on what I can remove. The turbo piping and intercooler configuration, along with the lower side of the radiator piping will be determined after I get the EGR part resolved. Guess it's time to move out of the engine bay for a while. Not to worry, there's...

Wow!! Looks like it is well built :-D

I have a 2006 300hp 5.9 Cummins from a motorhome that I need to take the EGR circuit off it. Has anyone here done this, or know who has?

The trucking guy hauls a lot of things for the museum for reduced rates. He was coming back from N.C. empty and swung by here :-D Thanks Bill, look forward to having you stop by again soon 8)

thank you papabear :-D

True about moving...the local wrecker company cuts me a really good deal so they can be seen with my machines on their truck. Sometimes they've been known to take the long way around when they are hauling for me. As for inexpensive though...:-P
