Hey Guys,
New to the forum and I want to get some info on this company if anyone has purchased one of their trucks or knows a bit about the company.
Background on what I am planing on doing:
In the market for a M1088 6x6 truck that i will be converting into an EV and tour North/South America next year. GVX will be building the habitat/camper but i need to source a chassis first.
Having said that, my original plan was buy a surplus M1088 from Midwest Equipment Supply or a similar place which has a few of these trucks in great shape, modify the interior to make it confortable
and just give it a modern facelift. I also want to reflash ECU to get a bit more power/fuel economy along with higher speed axles, Locking Diff's and a few other things in the suspension dept.
I found FMTV Truck Sales (Acela Trucks). http://www.acelatruck.com/trucks/monterra-6x6 https://fmtvtrucks.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/Monterra_6x6_10092017.pdf
they take an M1088A1 and tear it down to the bones, then replace over 600 new parts on the truck along with the interior which includes a full digital dash.
After speaking to them, it seems like they can build me a rig just how I want it including engine options between a CAT 3126E or a C7.
Does anyone knows anything about this company? Would love to hear more about them.
Cheers,
Jay
