Sold! 1998 Stewart and Stevenson M1088

[Gradechecker48]

Good morning everyone, due to unforseen circumstances I am selling my pride and joy. I purchased this M1088 in hopes of converting it into an expedition vehicle. Over the past year I have gotten it to a point where the habitat is ready to be constructed, but life's taking me in a different direction so hopefully someone can pick up where I left off. Now down to pictures and details.
1998 Stewart and Stevenson M1088
Odometer reads 15,728
Caterpillar 3116 diesel motor
Allison 7 speed automatic transmission
6 wheel drive in "mode" setting
Air brakes in excellent condition
10,000 lbs load capacity (much more since I removed over 3,000 lbs of military fixtures)

Now onto the work I have done so far:
Replaced transmission computer
Installed arduino CTIS computer (programmable and reliable)
Led head lights and tail lights
New batteries with space for tools where the military batteries used to sit.
Engine serviced, differentials and hubs serviced.
5th wheel hitch removed
Aux fan relocated
Hydraulic controls repaired and relocated
Pass through cut and framed, still needs a door
Giant air box removed, tubing rerouted but needs completed before box is installed.
Sub frame built using captive springs.
Designed for a 20' long box and still gives a 42 degree departure angle.

Now the things I would still need to do if I were to keep it:
Register as an RV
Replace the tires. All seem good and I have driven many miles on them but I don't trust 13 year old tires.
Finish subframe.....

I'm asking $22,000 for this as is OBO. Text or call is preferred 442-217-6139
Thanks
Steven

I forgot to mention that I am located near Joshua tree California and I'm available any time to show the truck, and for reasonable arrangements I can deliver within 500 miles or help arrange shipping.
Also this truck has spent the majority of its existence in Southern California so its pretty much rust free and in great operating condition.

Bump, would like to sell by February 2nd. I'm leaving for Tennessee and don't have the ability to take multiple vehicles at the same time.

What happened to the lift for the spare tire?

What happened to the lift for the spare tire?

It was removed and sold to make space for the box to be as close to the cab as possible

Question, the floor in the cab behind the seats, is it flat? Do the seats slide back to the rear of the cabin, or could one install seat rails that do so?

The area is flat to the back of the cab, the slide rails sit on top of some brackets, but it would be possible to get longer rails that would allow the seats to slide back to the rear of the cab.

Wow, thanks so much, that helps a bunch!
Most people will want to replace the seats anyway, so a new seat rail is not a big step from there...
I basically want to slide back the passenger seat when parked up, so I can have a desk (of sorts) in front of it, and create a mobile office when boondocking.
With the rugged nature of the military chassis, bolting stuff to the dash or cab is easy, compared to a civilian cab.

That's a really good idea
