Just bought an M109A3, need a gauge set

[stevegr]

Hi,

New member to this site. Great Site, full of info. I just bought a 1972 M109A3 and it has no gauges. I was told that the military removes them due to the radiocative material in them. Does anyone happen to have a functional set of gauges?

Thanks

Do several searches in the classifieds as I thought I saw a set in there somewhere.

Welcome to the site and good luck on your purchase.

I searched the classifieds for gauges and only found a temp gauge but not the whole set. Thanks for the welcome.

Look up green gem. He is somewhere in Fl and has good prices. I know when Keny sees this post he will post up the contact info for you. WishI had it, sorry.

Austin Aviation (Beltfed34 on e-bay) usually has some. Do a search there too!

Thanks for the info "gimpyrobb" and "SCSG-G4".

Here's a pic of my new ride. I don't have the truck home as of yet as it is out of state.

Congrats on the shop van - how about a real to life picture posted


cardboard stand up cutouts do not qualify - unless that is your practice range target

"jcappeljr" and "Recovry4x4", thanks for the info.

"zout", the picture is of the "real" or "actual" truck. I just removed most of the background so only the truck itself would be in the picture. Portions of the truck are bright because the picture was taken in the morning as the sun was rising. Thanks.

Well holy crapola Steve - must be some top secret components laying around to cut pics out. Just show em all - most of us have em.

Na - just kidding - move to secure ground and lets see some good shots along with the inside of the box - that way I know how bad I really got screwed when I got mine cause yours is probably nicer.

Inside of my M109A3 box sucks
Post what you plan on doing with it - we have a clan of 109 owners here and we are inquisitive and are visual people - need pics to make it sink in (at least I do - reading stuff is a pain)

Congrats on the truck

Hey Guys,

Here are some more pics of my M109A3. Coworkers ask me what are you going to do with it? Where will you drive it? I tell them "anywhere I want to". These trucks are awesome!. I plan on converting it into a camper. My son can't wait till we get it home. Neither can I for that metter. Good to see that there are several other members in my area. Looking forward to the FL and GA Rallys.
