Looking good, thanks for doing the step by step pictures as you paint, it's showing some of us guys (like my self) that slowing down and taking the time to pull as many parts off before we just start spraying paint, as well as showing use steps to taking the hays out of the gauges instead of just buying new ones, cost effective ideas, to help save us all a little bit of money and also still the hours and mile right on. Thanks for taking the time to take so many pictures.

Indy. This truck will be dedicated to pull my m146 Rv Conversion, i see in your Sig that you have a "m129 super camper", can you post a pic or a link to a thread for this?

Probably won't start a tread just yet but soon, but here's a few pics. And yes I did my mat and I can run super singles 16r20s on trailer and still be a hole foot under the mad d.o.t. height. Should make for a very cool on of a kind trailer. The axle spacing is the same as 5 ton truck rear axles, so no tire rub issues hopefully.

He!! once you start laying out the bed and living space, and a shower stove sink water heater, and counter top, the space is gone. I'll post up a picture of the floor plan in a little bit, when I take lunch.

Think your count is off a bit, with a 2 axle trailer you would have ONLY 40 more lug nuts then a single axle, not sure how you got the 120 count, as a 2 axle with duels has 80 lugs/nuts, single duel axle is a total of 40

Spent some time today working on getting some of the interior back together,notice the data plates,they had heavy overspray on them before i used paint and varnish remover in a can on them,they cleaned up nicely with no damage to the original finish,also notice the m275 data plate that Recovery 4x4 sent to me a while back, Thanks Kenny!! Now this tractor is a m275 wanabee!
