New member to the site and recently acquire a 1967 M109. Always wanted one and now I do! Want to do some changes (muffler, sound insulate the cab, increase tire size, go to 6 wheels, add 12volt converter, possibly RV out the back)
Bought some small things so far (new reflectors, wiper blades and a license plate light)
It needs one window and 3 black out covers (finding these are hard to locate) I dissasembled one window and found laminated glass, wood, alumnium and steel! Alot to these windows. Went to a glass fabricator today and they are making me a new window replacement (tempered) and they are trying to track down a rubber u shape to mimic the size that holds the glass. The wood is shot in one window so i am cutting up some replacement strips, hopefully I can track down some covers to make this beast (name this rig is starting to be called on a frequent basis)
Want to keep the stock look, possibly update the camo look, was thinking digital but again just recently acquired so there are many ideas floating around.
Been reading many threads and there are some great info out there! Trying to get to Fruitland this weekend to see some more.
Another bonus is that my neighbor says he used to work on these "Beasts"
so I have someone else to pick their brain.
Hope to post more pics later.
