    LAV150 rework for Florida Sheriff

    Thank you! I will need to get back with you on the deuce floors. For the time being we're trying to get caught up on projects already on the floor. Here's the top going back on and you can see how the interior is starting to look.

    LAV150 rework for Florida Sheriff

    With most of the detailed prep work behind us we're just about ready for the epoxy primer to go on. All the doors and a ton of misc parts were sent out for stripping and powder coat with zinc rich primer.

    LAV150 rework for Florida Sheriff

    Here's an example of what we're finding on this rig, which is not really that bad considering it's age and the service it's seen. We cut the bad part off, ground the hull to clean metal then welded a new part made from stainless steel. Rust, twisted and broken parts along with stuck bolts are...

    LAV150 rework for Florida Sheriff

    Thanks Matt :) I can't say for sure what else they fit but the late V100 leaf springs measure the same as the ones on this V150. We also added an extra short leaf on the left side rear because these vehicles all squat a bit more due to the engine being offset to that side.

    LAV150 rework for Florida Sheriff

    We found a lot of damaged threads on the wheel studs, probably from the confusion that often comes with putting right hand threads on one side of the vehicle and left hand on the other.

    You are correct L1A1, the 150s do have 5 ton axles

    LAV150 rework for Florida Sheriff
