I've set up the Penthouse for the MLVW a few times. And I may even have the tech manual, but they are quite different sized vehicles.

I had bits and pieces for the 3/4 ton penthouse over the years, but never enough to do the setup, or even comprehend what I was up against. All gone now though. There are remnants of a M152 body out back that have some strange clips on the sides that could well be for a penthouse.

Hey Rob, could you snap a pic of those clips. I need all the help I can get. Still looking for the steps for the 152 also.

I'll give it a try, but currently the truck is still surrounded by 3 feet of snow. Remind me in a couple of weeks (by then the snow should be down to a reasonable level) in case I don't follow through.

Sorry brother. I sometimes forget the armpit of the world part. We were +10 today and going up to +16 tomorrow. Out working on the deuce. I will remind you in a couple of weeks. Hang in there. It can't snow forever.
