    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    Overlap and rivet. Then use aluminum tape to go over the seam if you want air tight.

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    Another idea would be to build a custom box out of heavy sheet-metal and use the innards of the evap in the new custom box. (cheaper than buying a whole new evap) Funny thing is i am not even installing an A/C unit, but here i am giving advise!

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    If it was me I would cut the evap box to fit. A lot of time there is wasted space inside that can be eliminated. If possible cut it in the middle of a void, then overlap the two pieces and either rivet or screw them together. Since it is inside you don't need to weld the pieces together like...

    Thanks for clarifying. Will check the CB radio tomorrow to see what plugs it has on it. (I forgot a lot about CBs. I used them back in 1975-76. long time ago!)

    Funny you mentioned the CB external speaker. I used to have a CB in my car when I was still in High School. It was very popular then. I was tempted a few times to put an external speaker in. Decided against it -since I would be tempted to tell idiots off for bad driving etc.

    I have a used one that I bought in 2006 when we drove to LA from NJ for the first time. Mt friend Don had recommended it.

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    If I can't hear it the way it comes I can add an external speaker. (I can hear the navigation system when she talks (Garmin Nuvii)) If you let off the gas a bit it's quieter in the cab. Just made a 450 mile round trip in the M923 this weekend. Seems like the wind noise from the windows (don't...

    Actually the newest one is empty and unlocked due to paint still drying. Thanks for all your positive and encouraging comments. I am excited to finally get the tool box project complete. Next is CB antenna and radio/CB install. Oh ye sun visor for the driver.

    OK... I admit it... that first step in the M925A1 is a Bit%$ .. what have others done

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    I then primed the entire box with red primer. I applied some Seam Sealer to the area over the top hinge to keep the water from getting under it. I painted the tool box with green paint. You will see some odd blue-green paint in areas that will not be seen. I did that to save of the...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Things went really well today! Set up my equipment and tools. Prepped and welded the hinge to the door and then to the top of the box. I used the existing screw holes to well the hinge to the sheet-metal. I decided to use the original slide-bolt to hold the lid shut. I also added a heavy...

    Goldneagle's M109 (MDMORGAN CUSTOM) trailer recovery 2-16-2013

    I just had them paint the M109 box for the sale. I will install the camper box on a tan M931 truck I am getting from Jeff Davis. I will be redoing the interior of the camper, but that is another thread.

    Now that the recovery of the camper is done it's time to get back to my tool box project. I removed the under truck box from my Deuce. I measured the space on top of the tool box on the passenger side of the truck. I started by removing the door and hinge. I also removed the slide lock...

    I went out this morning to check out my new camper project. I hooked up one battery to the solar charger. Installed the 2 stabilizers in the back. Unhooked the trailer from the truck. Took pictures of the truck and camper.
