Thank you for your very detailed and informative reply. I will take everything you said into consideration!

Do you know any options for 24 volt stand up style refrigerators even rather small ones that aren't ridiculously expensive?

What I've had good luck with including a similar problem is I sand the area, derust it with rust removing acids, clean it and apply some JB weld and sand smooth again, then paint. Haven't had any repairs like that ever leak again.

Probably not Sean Filner, his is a tan M1078 with an S280 shelter chained down to the bed, not an M1079. I've only ever seen one fmtv out and about with the exception of at air shows and Army Trucks Inc

I can attest to that. Before I realized this, I had a 13 year old tire disintegrate at 10 miles an hour. Didn't realize I had such an old tire. Now mine are 4-7 years old, and will not go older then 9 before replacement.

Funny that's exactly what I had but I upgraded from there.

This is like watching that movie where the two crabby old guys keep going at each other! Where's my popcorn stash!

And bed height of an fmtv is 5 ft

I wouldn't even consider a seat covers for the standard seats because they're the crappiest seats in the world! 1 inch of foam on top of a steel plate only comfortable for about 15 minutes. I have two nice seats that are comfortable gray leather and I'm selling because I got a whole different...

thank you for the input! my new ones are 3/8" flat bar and angle iron welded steel.... that should be sufficient!

I made mine by modifying the radio bracket. It made two seat mounts

What you need is the bed from an m1083! It's already 2 ft longer.

When the MPs stop you at the gate just tell them Chucky said you could!

Nice I did the same thing and like those handles much better than the stock old Volvo handles!

They won't go above the upper frame rail, at least that's my experience maxing the flex out of mine, purposely twisting it on a couple of boulders in the desert. although I will admit there was only about 800 lb of gear in the back
