. Hey.... Is that The Miggins World Cup!?

. Sad but true. Honestly, riding around in a tank (with air conditioning) would be preferred. Only problem with that is that a tank makes a bigger target... Flip side of that is what you can sling for return fire.

. Pretty cool to have something to model your project before you started the build.

. Sounds good! This stuff is in Washington State, but that is a lot closer to you than me. I really don't know how to cut the stuff but there is a spec sheet in the link. Maybe we can figure out if a skill saw with the right kind of blade might work... The price definitely seemed really good...

. Not sure if they would be helpful, but one of the guys here has sheets of sheet kevlar (or similar) in the Classified section. I had looked and wondered if a sheet of two of that cut to fit inside the door could work. Not really armor - but a lot more than the sheet metal alone would be...

Windows are definitely a lot of work. I have worked along getting more things done on my M936.Seems like my front windows are becoming my next source of entertainment. The laminated glass in the frames seems to have gotten old (35 years of old). The glass is starting to look "smokey" on the...

. Glad to help. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Most everybody here jumps in and wants to help. The more details you can give - the better answer you will get because guessing is hard work :) I hate to hear that your truck has to be on Morgue Duty for the cows. Hopefully that doesn't...

. Hate to hear it, but there is a spreadsheet maintained by one of our members. Great resource for replacement parts or just the part number for a flasher maybe... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/lmtv-fmtv-quck-parts-reference-spreadsheet.155667/ Information on the flasher is Line #80...

. Agreed - especially when discussing cheap imports. Stupid things will definitely happen. Looking for cheap to save a dollar isn't new. We had a vendor where we purchased the rubber Deuce and 5-Ton lines (frame to axle) in bulk. This would have been around 1983 and I don't know where or who...

. Yes Sir! I am hoping to get her into the 4th of July parade down toward Stanfield. That will be a great way to show her off! I agree with you about the ear to ear grin for sure!

. Not quite set on the date yet, but I definitely THANK YOU.

. Agreed for sure. Having downloaded the pictures, I am hoping to slide under my M936 and look around. It's a 1984, so a diesel and auto transmission are in my setup. It will be interesting to see what might have been updated. There is exactly one MWO on this truck. A lot of things on it...

. Wow! It's amazing to see that many options all in one place!! Extra very neat!!

. Thanks Bill. I am getting closer on my "haul it home" plan. Tim

. Yeah well, North Carolina is half way there but it is still a long haul in a 1984 Convertible :) Still, it would be a heck of a road trip...

. I can't wait!!

. Welcome to the outfit! Sounds like a project for sure. With the heat and humidity around here, I would be searching for a shade tree to do the work under for sure. Be sure to post up some pictures to document where you started. Really cool that you have your dad to work with on something...

. By the way grymsr, Please know that we aren't a bunch of jerks here. Both Frank and I are trying to be certain that you don't hurt yourself or somebody else. These trucks are big and heavy. They could easily flatten most passenger cars. A broken brake line is evil at best. SAFETY is the...

. Chances are that will work. I have definitely done exactly what you are describing. I am fairly sure that they are steel. I don't believe they are stainless. Couldn't swear to it not being available, but the ones I have seen definitely rust. Making a new line... The straight pieces of...
