To much sources and TMs can also give a big confusion... :unsure:
During assembling frame did i used the CUCV Parts and illustration catalogue and of course my own documentation by pictures and notes
What was happen?
I got a a picture for the front assemblies on the frame where it shows a...
We are now starting to assemble the frame. The frame and all individual parts of the frame are protected with an epoxy primer from the marine construction (thanks to Rutjes for his helpful advice) After assembly, it is prepared for primer and painting "2K Black 383".
We replace all nuts and...
I may have expressed myself incorrectly and hope that i do better now.
From a German manufacturer who has this tool in the offer, I expect a delivery capacity or better a note that currently delivery difficulties exist. It is not about the shipping time. My tool supplier was promised 2-3 days...
A kingdom for a 1.5/16 nut......
In all of Germany neither online nor in the store available. I did not expect to find one in stock, but that there is no assured delivery time is really annoying. Even brands like Gedore and Hazet do not give a delivery promise. Now my local tool supplier is...
Again proof that on the surface you can't see how deep the rust goes. The rust scars clearly show how strong the wear is ultimately. How good that pretty much everything on the truck is built particularly massive

My wife can sleep peacefully again, the brake discs are down. One I could still solve with a hammer, the other I have very very very carefully cut down with the flex. Heat from a welding torch as an also common method I wanted to avoid.
The universal joints are also gone after 35 years...
Goal for today:
Loosening the old brake discs from the wheel hub
My wife say be as carefully you can, a new wheel hub will be expensive....
i am always careful, aren't i ... 😇
the simple usual measures to solve it do not work. Invasive measures are needed now.
I may find some damage here that...

Front Before cleaning, behind after cleaning - the condition of the seals...
I have edited the title since the error processing is long history
In the meantime, we are in the process of rebuilding. How much was actually defective or worn could not be seen from the outside at all. 10 years of Army service, then 8 years of daily driver and 15 years of storage took tribut...
sounds good.Twice now in over 40 years I have had to change a tire on my own vehicle on the road... far more often I have helped other drivers. Therefore, I have also experienced various original jacks that were simply useless to put it nicely.
I am really happy that i have access on sandblasting. Don`t want do that by wire brush
35 years old junk look
all axle seals, bearings ... the complete wellness package
My wife continues to hunt for missing parts. However, parts that were already missing before when handed over from the army:
Original jack for example
Meanwhile we know at least how it looks like and that they are sometimes still available.
Are they any good? then we are willing to spend more...
Thank you for your encouragement. We were faced with the decision to go all the way or not at all and decided on all the way... it costs work and money, but it's also not just any vehicle. Besides, I promised my wife when we put it in storage that one day it would be back on the road.
We still...
