Nothing like a oxy acetylene torch to persuade things to shape up!! Good job..

Dad was a tough ole Marine. Hoo raaa! His happy place was being in the deserts southwest racing dirt bikes and off road cars. I’ll be putting his name somewhere on my truck. Thanks gents for condolences.

We’ll Marchplumber thanks for askin!! Actually the last month or so I’ve just been able to finish up the drivers front fender repair and I think I have the brakes figgered out. Lost my father a few weeks ago and I was in CA. taking care of family stuff. I’m also ripping the carpet in my house...

Thanks again guys. The underside came out like the top. I’ll take a pic and post. I was thinking the same thing not to make it too good to match the rest of the truck. Doing bodywork isn’t as bad as I thought even w all the rust Marchplumber bring that deuce on over and bring beverages. We’ll...

Mighty kind of you sir!! I started padding up the center section today. Coming along nicely.. I think itll be close to 100% functional again.

Here’s a shot of the LU 4 winch before bottom repairs. And after. Really dirty aluminum case was tricky to TIG up w all the oils in pores but I have solid penetration. Now there’s a solid lug to use. Need to get the middle bore bushing out then rebuild the shoulder inside.

Im really pleased to see the responses to attend, Im working to make this happen. So far so good. Were in the middle of ski season so a decision-dates, probably wont be final till things slow down for us, They were planning a car show anyways this summer so I think itll work out with our...
