Picked up this M886 from another SS member yesterday, plan is to build it into a commo truck for local ARES events and military shows.
Started today on cleaning up and removing some old parts. Trailer hitch was quite low to the ground so I removed it. The exhaust needs to be replaced and the majority of it also removed. Next project was to move the folding step from the center to the RH side, this way I can get in from the rear having to open only one door. I was able to use the original hardware and it was a simple project. The RH litter support was already removed leaving room for the step. I would have removed it any way as the radio rack will mount over the wheel well area.
Also on the list to do is replace the grill and the roof top needs attention as well as new paint and a lot of small electrical items to run down. I need to track down a LH upper litter and brackets so I can sleep two.
