Thanks for the opportunity!

Looking great. Seems to be on the finishing stretch now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try. If it does that then it would have to help at least.

Yes you should drain it every so often and let the water out of it. If a lot of water comes out, then do it more frequently. If not then less frequently. Don't run the engine while doing this.

On the topic of preparing for paint, my truck has had bedliner applied to the back of the lower cab. If you have any advice on how to remove this easily please let me know. I don't really want to paint over it because of the texture, but if I have to I guess I will. Anyone with some ideas in...

I agree with you about these old trucks having souls. It is much more enjoyable to get in one of these trucks and get to work with it. I enjoy using these older rigs more than newer ones that have many more comfort features. With the bare bones of these trucks you can depend on them to run all...

I haven't posted pictures of mine yet. I'm not that great with technology and just haven't got around to figuring it out yet. I'm sure yours will look just like it did on delivery.

OK. Thanks for that.

Thanks. I would appreciate that. I'm considering doing that just to add a little more flow and filtration to my truck since the tank on it isn't in the best shape.

Have you ever installed filters in parallel on a 800 series truck? If so I would be interested in some of the details about that installation.

I'm also in the market for a front winch to go on a 800 series if I can find one semi locally to me that is affordable. I have a few other things to do to it first on my list, but if someone has one for sale around mississippi or fairly close by please let me know. I don't have to have the pto...

Are you going to use yours as a working vehicle or just parades/shows and fun? Seems like you wanted a oem finish on yours from the looks of it. I'd love to see a picture or two when it's done.

Thanks for the info. If mine looks half as good as yours when I'm done I'll be happy with it. Yours could be on display somewhere.
