Have a question, how much adapting does one have to do to upgrade to a 34 volt led head lights?

LEDs are usually rated as omnivolt. 10-30volts. I'm guessing your 34 is a typo.

9-36v is a common rating as well.
Make sure you order the appropriate series pig tail sockets to match to new lights, then just a matter of cutting and splicing to the old bulbs pig tails. I prefer the solder-seal connectors for splicing.

Thank you, we will be looking into it more. We purchased sight unseen so we do not know for sure what has been done by previous owner yet. What an adventure ahead of us lol

Did he buy the one with the 12 valve cummins and the air locker rear in it?

Make sure Dave throws in a couple spare tires for the trip home. Remember they are surplus trucks, so they don't get driven and sit on the lot until someone buys them too. Even thou they go over them before you pick them up. One of the other members here bought a m820 without the box from there and on the way home lost the transfer case and had some other issues. So make sure you have a good credit card with you in case Murphy shows up. Once you know your route home give us the details so members on the route can chime in with phone# or email address in case something happens near by. You contact them. It would nice to have a members map again. All the bad stuff out of the way. Now enjoy the trip home. Take lots of pics and/or video. Take the scenic route and your time.

We made it with just a few hiccups! We traveled 95 to 81 to 40 to the 5 to 199 that would take us home!
