I got a pto winch shaft. Now, Armada was over yesterday and I showed him my new 48 XL's on the front (no time to do rears yet, so I can't drive it) and I also showed him my vinyl cab cover. The turret legs interfere with the cab cover and I was wondering what others have done. Armada placed a...

Hi Paul, Thanks. I called George and he said $325 ish for new and $225 ish for used. Perhaps you should order me one! lol. He will call me tomorrow with my list of requests. Thanks.

I just got the truck home and she drove really nice! Now that she is home, I will fix the electricals and start mounting the hemtt rims and 48's under her. I wish I had her done for the Clare swap meet, so perhaps I can take her to a classic car show! lol I have a 5ton winch pto shaft for a...

Paul, The plate is an NOS unit, the other goodies are used take-offs. I strongly suggest that the plate be installed if the M66 is to be used. After I installed the plate and then set the turret, I notice that I had to readjust the doors a little! Rivets: steel, 3/16" x .5" or so. I used...

Thanks Paul and others for the comps. Here are some pictures of the reinforcement plate prior to pop riveting in and the setting of the M66 turret. My bobcat was able to reach the top with 1" to spare. Strapping required! Also prior to primering, I remembered to take a picture post...

The shoes will be 48" Michelin XL's on HEMTT rims. Progress pictures are lacking on this project, my bad.

Well I thought I would post up a fresh picture of the M813A1 after being sandblasted, primered and painted CARC383 one part. Next is tires and dressings! 5.5 gallons of paint for the entire truck inside and out!

HI Jay, Yep, they got that too! The bottom lip was not a lip anymore and a nice hit in the middle and both rubber bumpers missing. It is an operating tailgate so I will just put the lip back in it and clean up some of the dents. Also, both tail lights were gone (destroyed not removed). Can...

This poor truck was molested heavily by a gl fork truck. Winch roller broken, left front boot and retainer destroyed, bed frame hit, rear air ports eliminated, and then the cargo and top were damaged from motor freight wind! I have already replaced both doors, cleaned up the winch with new...

I received my M813A1 a little while ago from a fellow SS member and it was on "deck" for bringing it up to operation while I was finishing my hmmwv project. I have now started to turn wrenches on this truck and I started with the big banged up bumper. I have tried to find a replacement bumper...
