Looking for m1079 van box and a fuel tank for an LMTV

The box frame is made into the box itself. It sets on top of the upper spacer frame that every truck has already.

I think you're looking for unobtainium. You probably got better luck looking for an s280 shelter as Sean Filner (fastidious restomods YouTube channel) has on his., or make your own with a kit from https://rvglobetrekker.com/.
I suggested a M109A3 body for a deuce that can be found pretty cheap and about the same size as the 1079 box.

Eastern surplus might have one or might not. Good luck getting a hold of them!

Ok, so ...
My deuce wants one badly. I like your optimism. I will surely be in your debt if you're able to help me source one.
Eyes wide open since September and I ain't managed to stub my toe on one yet.
Got any leads?

I know where a whole M1079 parts truck is. Are you still looking for a solution?

Yes, I will have to make contact with the person in charge. A small community VFD owns it. It is disabled and will never be used. The question is how to force the sale? The VFD's I have acquired trucks from were not a problem doing business with. This one is kind of in limbo from my understanding. All I can do is make contact and go from there. I will take some pictures to see if it is worth pursuing for you. The main stipulation is anything owned by this community must be sold in an auction. We are dealing with a lazy municipality with too many chiefs. That's all I know... My experience is to stay in front of them and keep pressing the issue.

I assume you will have to take the whole thing or none. It might be a long shot but you never know... I ended up with 4 driving trucks in my arsenal for few dollars. I missed out on (4) M800 series trucks that went to the scrap yard. They could not reach me so they went ahead moved them to the scrap yard. The part value alone was major. Probably could have picked up all for 5k.
