2011 M1165A1

After years of waiting and hoping to find that variant that meets my wish list. And doing my research on who and were I'm going to get it from. I'm finally getting my 65A1 in a few weeks. Here are some pictures...

M1165A1 before S.N. 300xxx has Sheppard steering box and big Idler / pitman arm and link. and the rest is the same as earlier turbo trucks.
S.N. 300xxx and above have heavy duty frame, wilwood brakes, bigger transfer case with radiator cooling, along with rear diff...and sheppard steering system, and Geared fan drive instead of Hyd. fan clutch.

Also...with that serial #...truck is a 09 or 10-2007 truck.

Your truck will have the upgrades in blue on the chart. The slightly later >300,000 serial numbered ones have the additional upgrades in red.

Can you please decipher the information for me

serial number: 257714....pre 300000, may have been upgraded beyond....pics of engine bay, front and rear brakes, etc, etc...would be great. Does it have the 400 amp alternator?...those things are huge.! Also that has what appears to be a soft top b-pillar.

I may be wrong, but I honestly am questioning that data tag. That truck doesn't look like it it has been up-armored or is even up-armor ready. (the pre drilled holes are missing) that and the b pillar are throwing me off.....

Its being build for me from West Kentucky Surplus. It's was torn down and build back up..

I love posts like this. Really nice rig undergoing amazing restoration. Thanks for this great post.

Now everything makes sense......Amazing work...I wonder what method they used to fill the holes for the armor.

The armor holes are still present, I don’t see them covered over…and why? They look correct for the model truck, there are several ways to utilize the holes or even cover them the keep the truck look looking authentic .
REV A and REV B were fully armored FRAG 5 trucks.

I wont be filling the holes on my trucks (if I can find the correct stuff I would like to return it at some point), but backing them with something to keep the wasps out....
