Serial Number 246890 and Above) have Sheppard gear
I just bought an 1165 an 258xxx, what’s so special about the Sheppard gear other than it’s super expensive to replace? Is there something I should know going into this project?Serial Number 246890 and Above) have Sheppard gear
I never seen any pics of it. I bought a M1165 but it was the EVC? I liked it because I got the turbo without the expensive fan drive. Funny because we were a few months apart on our M1123 and we both realized soon that we needed more. I love a/c and a hardtop.

We’re on the exact same wavelength LOL. @DHumvee did the exact same as us too.Funny because we were a few months apart on our M1123 and we both realized soon that we needed more.
I went nuts that day and bought two. Trying to decide which model is my forever truck.We’re on the exact same wavelength LOL. @DHumvee did the exact same as us too.
special? well….it’s a superior gear for off road, a pavement pounder won’t ever realize any difference.I just bought an 1165 an 258xxx, what’s so special about the Sheppard gear other than it’s super expensive to replace? Is there something I should know going into this project?
Every time I look at a slant back I still get butterflies. Lol. And I have one. Its simply the most powerful rugged looking truck ever made in my opinion.I went nuts that day and bought two. Trying to decide which model is my forever truck.

I must have gotten lucky with mine. I dont have a leaking issue but then again, Im in LA and we Dont get hard rain.I alreadys wanted a slantback, until I got one and then realized that they leak worse than a soft top! Which I didn't think was possible! Still badass though
Most likely that engine has ingested some water at least.Every time I look at a slant back I still get butterflies. Lol. And I have one. Its simply the most powerful rugged looking truck ever made in my opinion.
Is your truck a REV ?

Was the engine missing parts like in the picture above? Im not sure what they are pulling off of these trucks but all of them seem to have the same parts removed.
Yeah, the body of the truck looks good but there may be too much risk with the engine internals exposed like this.Most likely that engine has ingested some water at least.
What hard top is that? Different than the ones I’ve seen on the 1165I never seen any pics of it. I bought a M1165 but it was the EVC?

I don’t know but I believe it was the last one before they changed to the flying nun version. I wanted it because it looks like the closest top to the civilian version. I haven’t seen but maybe 10 or 20 at auction over the last few years.What hard top is that? Different than the ones I’ve seen on the 1165
Excellent. I just missed out on getting the newly unobtainable Shepard setup. I’m in the 220k region with my rig. Maybe not the strongest steering gear, but will be more easily serviced or replaced I guess.Serial Number 246890 and Above) have Sheppard gear
That roof is the roof under the armored 'Flying Nun' roof.What hard top is that? Different than the ones I’ve seen on the 1165
I dont think thats the normal m1165 roof. Its too rounded looking.That roof is the roof under the armored 'Flying Nun' roof.
No, it’s nothing like the roof under the roof. My corners are rounded just like the civilian trucks.That roof is the roof under the armored 'Flying Nun' roof.
Is your roof steel or aluminum?No, it’s nothing like the roof under the roof. My corners are rounded just like the civilian trucks.
Steel… I wish it was aluminum. The newer tops are aluminum I think.Is your roof steel or aluminum?
Yeah I think your right. My m1151's is definitely aluminum. Yours looks really clean though!Steel… I wish it was aluminum. The newer tops are aluminum I think.
