Looks great. Thought about doing the same thing in the past before my recent project.

 

[whistlepig]

Thanks again to everyone for the positive comments! Also thanks for allowing me to post pics of a homemade (non military) vehicle. I had read about at least some interest in this sort of thing in the threads on this site and hoped a few of you would enjoy a few photographs. For those that asked about build pics I'll try to post a few when I can find them.

Hey if its painted OD green go for it...looks nice...so what do you call it???

 

[whistlepig]

Here's some build pics . I had a lot of fun with this project.

Sa-Weet! Third pic even comes with soldier "B" s picture! =) Dimensions and stuff from print or did you create them yourself! Agree with PB, my 300 straight six had almost 300,000 on her when I sold her..... Not a speed demon, but would run and get ya through. Appreciate the pics,,,,keep em coming if ya can. DARN NICE JOB!!

Thanks Tony, The dimensions are mostly identical with the real thing . I was able to measure a sheriffs dept hmmwv and combined with some hmmwv parts I had made my own crude drawings. Most major body parts will interchange with a real Humvee. I'm not finished with the truck ,Still have to finish the brush guard and install the radio shelf I made the other day,plus lots of other stuff to come.

AH..... the great DEBATE....FORD vrs CHEVY DODGE vrs FORD and so on ....... I own FORDS anyway nice job what with vision determination and skill a great project no different from the (REAL) equipment I got a m916A1 FREIGHTLINER with OSHKOSH axles and suspension looks good

That's not soldier "B", it's soldier "double D".

My version of a radio shelf (manual transmission style) and a am/fm/cd player box.

Here's some more pics haven't done much but did add an antenna bracket and a hf 12000lb winch. Still working on a luverne style brush guard. I'm making the whole thing from scratch and was wondering if anyone could tell me about what radius the bends on the corners of a real luverne guard are.

A very unique ride.

Excellent fabrication work. I'm sure many who see your truck don't know it's not the real thing! Thanks for sharing.

I nominate Shawn for MV of month if he will let me copy and paste picture

 

[99nouns]

What? No all drive independent suspension???

 

[whistlepig]

99nouns,If your questions for me (somehow pics and discussion of an m35 have ended up in this thread),my truck is capable of all wheel drive and
I went with straight axles and leaf springs for simplicity also most of the parts were just laying around the shop.

 

[marchplumber]

You've done an absolutely incredible job with the fabrication and design!! Amazing!! As far as the deuce and a half, it nice. But your creation? It's a masterpiece!!
