So the second batch was destroyed when they were at the powder coaters and the powder coaters shop burned to the ground. Crazy bad luck! But the third batch is all done and looks good. These are completely hand made one at a time by me and in small batches of 12. I start off with 24 gage 304...

Any body watching the Fox News special with Sean Hannity in Louisiana reporting on the terrible flooding going on? They are touring the area in the back of a FMTV! Sad to see all the devastation there but great to know GREAT neighbors and communities are still alive in America! My prayers...

Sorry I missed this post, would have responded sooner. I originally posted this on the FMTV forum but they moved it to ELECTRICAL....... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?155837-FMTV-LMTV-M1078-Civilian-Truck-lite-LED-Headlight-Install

Along with all the fluids being drained it was also missing the batteries and the battery cover. Keeping with the thought of easy servicing I wanted to use a common battery. After doing the research and some measurements I decided to go with the more common battery and used 4 of the Group 31C...

Installed the dust cover. Perfect fit nice and tight. Purchased from amazon.

Thanks, I'm in a very rural with the closest truck supply, being 60 miles away so I was hoping for a single supplier with good descriptions that we could all go to with confidence and order them.

I agree, but got frustrated with trying to find a supplier of them the dot connectors. NAPA lists them by part number with no size specs. i kept running into dead ends. So I went with what I found at Mcmaster. Do you know where to find them without the wild goose chases?

I finished the horn Install. That has got to be one of my favorite upgrades yet. It brings a smile to my face every time I push the horn now. No more old VW Bug sounding horn. It has a good tone to it, not Extremely Crazy loud but VERY loud. Here are some pictures and a parts list. I know some...

Thanks suprman, but I didn't do a good job explaining the picture. The broken piece is in my hand and the primed area is the part I made and welded on.

I found the tab broken off of the drivers side air bag lock down the other day. Just one more repair LOL!!! The broken piece is to the left in my hand, I made a new one and welded it on then primed it.

The rocker switches are SWF switches / Britax I collected them from different places. They are used take offs from RV's.

CRUISE CONTROL and FOG LIGHT SWITCH install. I started off by wanting to install 3 new switches in the dash For Cruise control and fog lights and ended with removing all the dash components, steering column and side steps for painting while I had it apart. Here is the gage panel with 3 new...

My M1078A1 built in 2003 History, Purchased from GovPlanet September 2015 as a non runner all fluids drained, no batteries and a huge hole in the front left tire. Picked it up from Hurlburt AFB, Florida. I've been working on it ever since. I'm late at starting this project thread but I wanted...

Thanks for everyones help. My impatience got the best of me. It took 30 minutes on the lathe to make two new ones out of black Delrin. I should have done this in the beginning and it would have saved me all the time researching and writing this post. Lesson learned! Here is a picture of the...
