So just bought a M818

Just bought a M818 converted to have a bed on it. Has a 250 Cummins that has a bigger pump, injectors and a turbo added. Drove it nearly 300 miles home this past weekend.

There are a few members in your area. Coffey1 and Andyadvr are up that way and a few others I believe. The GA rally is just down the road and they convoy down in October from up there. It is in Union Point, GA

This is all I have the setup is a little janky it works but I want to make it look better

Good to know I had a m211 awhile back I saved from going to the scrapper and got to know some guys local.

Here is my truck it's in pretty good condition

I really like the tractor wheelbase with the short cargo bed. It makes more of a difference than you'd think it would. Closer in maneuverability to a one ton pickup than to a 5ton cargo variant.

I think it's pretty neat I've got some work to do to the bed to make it look right where they hacked it

Replace it with a sectioned out drop-side.

You have a suitably 'ugly' truck there..Nice..well done. And welcome to the site hobby and friendships.

Is it cause it brings back memories of the short bus? ha!

I kept my 5th wheel and used a modified M105 bed

I have two 818's and four NOS 105 beds. That looks like something I should look into.... did you post specs on the modifications to the bed? (I'm assuming kingpin on a plate, but what else?)
