Popacom-
What kind of flashing lights do you need? I have A LOT of LED emergency lights. Most are good for undercover or low profile. Got switch box's to. What colors you interested in? Have TIR 3 TIR 6 type lights, bars etc etc etc

M1031 Dually

GL just sold an M1031 that was a dually at Sharpe several weeks ago, in fact I believe there was two of them so this build isn't that far off and the quad cab is always a good idea.

The LED combination tail lamps are:
Roadside w/ plate mount TL-5060
Curbside TL-5061

The Top "Armored lamps" Clearance lights are:
Red 055-00-522
Amber 055-00-512

Truck Light also makes a LED replacement for the Blackout headlight. Comes with a whole new light!

And FYI those dont have gaskets at the base, at least mine didnt, So a little RVT will help keep all your tools dry. The truck looks amazing! I hope mine turns out half that good when I paint it!!!

I think a nice finishing touch would be the hmmvw tail lights cut into the box. I know it would take up room for tools, but I always hated those tail light housings on the back.

Well I gotta say treessw was not foolin round when he threw
out that he had lotsa LED lights........man he wheeled in with a
box O lights! !!!! every combo of strobe colors......WOW!
after some talkin and tradin war tales we tested some and
discussed options and combos for"GET HER DONE" And I think
we got a cool layout for her.
Gonna wait till the paint work's all done before I get all fired in on
blingin her out.
We talked a lil longer then loaded Patracy's Goat radiator on Tinsley's
truck and I lead them to interstate and waived farewell.
Hope the guys don't have issues getting home as the temps
were falling as well as snow........anyhow it was a pleasure

Wiring / fuel filler

Well today was fruitful. The wiring is now complete
and functioning properly between the contact bed and the
P-10 chassis......got the fuel filler redone and back on,
those guys are kickin chicken!........Hogtruck pulled me a couple
lights off his "damaged" CMT. and is sending them to finish up
the ones missing on my box. (Thanks for the help there Sir)
Need to pick a brain or two.......I still need the flat plate that
goes between the pintle and the bumper. This plate mounts
on the outside of the bumper and has a 90° angle at the bottom
under the pintle 4 bolt flange and there are 2 bolts that bolt
down into the bottom plate of the bumper....this plate is apxtly.
1/4" thick and reinforces where the flange bolt area of the bumper is.
Anybody got one o these in their pocket???? lol this should be
present on most stepbumpers CUCV' s use. Although Hogtruck
has 2 M-1031's that don't have them so who knows?
Any and all help appteciated greatly!!! BILL/ popacom :driver:

Interior

Hey guys! I am putting out a question to all reading this:
does any one know of a second hand sales source for the utility
center consoles like you see in service vans and trucks?
I have some electronics(Radios,siren etc.) I want to mount in one
between 2 CUCV Bucket seats in "GET HER DONE" I know there has to be a
source besides the Manuf. as they are REAL proud of the one I was looking
at in the Weatherguard flyer. As always any and all assistance is greatly
appreciated. Thanks for all the Positive feedback and help on this project!!!
REALLY makes it all worth while..........popacom BILL in KY. :beer:

Never heard of anyone who sells second hand utility consoles. I have seen a few companies that sell used rack systems out of the back of those service trucks, but never a center console. Very few service trucks I have seen actually have special center consoles. The vehicles I have seen who regularly have those center consoles are police cars. I would try looking for a place that sells second hand police cars to see if they have anything.

After that, the one well known place for customized center consoles is: Tuffy Security Products

Consoles

Tuffy is a good one. I am installing a slightly used Troy that I picked up from a friend. There may be more, without the faceplates for the specific sirens, etc.

To make this fit, you'd have to get their mounts that slide under the seat bolts. And some faceplates for whatever you want to install in it and some cup holders!

Holler if you think Troy is what your looking for, I'll nose around a bit.

Great project by the way - your CMT is awesome!
