I threw some batteries in mine and it fired with the first push of the button..... Not bad for sitting for almost 2 years without being started. Next weekend I plan on taking it along with the rest of the motorpool to a local car show.

After much consideration, I replaced the seats. They look good.

Got the title, started work on mounting a place for the plate and light under the back. Got the 110volt wiring over to the on board generator, just need to finish up the 12 volt feed for it to start. Removed the tire carrier so now we can mount the fuel tank there.

I recently figured out that a 4x4 cut to about 20 inches makes and excellent tire chock for the size of tires these trucks have.

Good idea, but I've found that chocks work best on the flat with parking brake well-adjusted and set, regardless of chock size. Otherwise the darned truck figures it found another rock and rolls over it.

As I recall....
In another thread a year or so ago there was a discussion about Wheel Chocking.
In a nutshell, it was advised the due to the relatively LIGHT LOAD on any of the rear wheel-sets, it is BEST PRACTICE to chock the FRONT WHEELS of the 2-1/2 & 5-Ton Trucks to take advantage of the HEAVIER LOAD on either end of the FRONT AXLE. The rationale being that the heavier load will be LESS LIKELY to climb over the wheel chock.

If I had more time, I'd do a search. Might be able to later if someone else doesn't find it first.

primer and bondo...

 

[brianp454]

Very nice work 59apache!

On the wheel chocks, I agree about preferably chocking the front wheels rather than the rear wheels due to the additional weight. Better yet, chock them both!

 

[Hainebd]

Busy this week. The following is done, PTO, trans oil change, toolbox mounted in bed, solargizer installed along with new battery box. Not to bad for being sick.

 

[docpadds]

[brianp454]

Sweet! Where'd you find that?

Found a 12vot one on ebay, put in a relay and wireless receiver and voila.

 

[shenkmen]

Put a new fuel tank on. Loaded it up and went camping with my son.

 

[hunderliggur]

Made her earn her keep! Picked up 4 round bales of hay, not even a whimper. Had to take the LONG way out of the field of course

 

[cleveland]

Used it to help clean up after these devastating tornado's and flash floods we have been having. Then went to take if for a drive to fill it up and the 2nd gear went out on me. Bad bad past couple weeks.....
