Hi there, thank you! I still have my 5 tons. Just can't get myself to sell anything. Hard to sell something that you sirens so much time getting it the way you want it.

First Road Test Video #2 My wife got our IPad out and filmed our departure. Man, did she smoke!! I guess there are a few years of crud that need to work it's way out of that screaming 353. Man, those front marker lights are bright!!! I better check the bulbs. I may have some 12v siting in...

First Road Test....SUCCESS!!!!! Tonight, my son and I took the Goat out for it's first ever road test since I've owned it. I've owned this truck since October 2015. So, I've had this truck for about 10 months. I have always had this numbing doubt in the back of my mind. What if this truck is...

The bottom of the window thing just has a 1/4" bolt going from the inside of the bracket and through the metal rail thing. Sorry for sounding so official, I'm not sure what those "things" are called exactly. The top bracket has a half moon bracket that clamps onto the bow top rail to secure it...

Almost done video Here's a video I made up a couple days ago to show the progress to date. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_IaNDrNpTQ

Looks like they're both backordered. Wondering if this website is acting just like a middle man for another company.

For what it's worth. Not as drastic of a change but a change none the less.

Weight Classification Bridge Plate Through my perusing I finally located the correct bridge plate for my '83 themed Goat on E***. I have been looking for the past 6 months. All the ones that have come up are were either the Vietnam era (Yellow) or the modern era ones (CARC'd w/bright red "C")...

Got the cab put back together...sort of... To be continued Partially finished putting the cab back together. Before porting the doghouse back on, I verified the transfer case oil pump was working. Everything went smoothly and now I'm really getting excited to finally get her on the road. I also...

M792 Tailgate Step Also got the M792 ambulance tailgate step mounted yesterday as well. Nothing special here. Just dry fitted the stereo to the rear of the tailgate to ensure were where I wanted them and just drilled and bolted. You want to make sure you seal the hole as it is full of foam. A...

License Plate Bracket Yesterday was an outstanding day to get things buttoned up. In my final push to get this Goat done, I addressed the license plate mounting issue. Though not an issue to some, it was for me. The last thing I wanted to do was mount a big white rectangle on my truck. After...

Be sure to police up any BFS. One drop will screw things up. I went so far as to use a pipet to remove any residual in the bleeder valve.

If all else fails, pick up a M939 wheel o-ring. Cut to length and super glue the ends together. Yes, super glue the ends together;-). It works

Driveshaft-hub bolt gasket and boltlock Today I got around to replacing the copper washers and bolt keeper tabs for the main axle bolts at each hub. I got the copper banjo bolt washers at our local NAPA. Needed 12 washers, they only had 11. Luckily I had a washer I could reuse. Before I fold...

Remaining Project List I'm sitting here cornered in the garage with the Goat in my way. I'm without a piece of paper and pen so I've got a little time to ponder. 1) Stencilling 2) VIC-1 system 3) VRC-12 Radio mounted 4) HW-20-2 Heater 5) Back up light (with manual override switch) 6) Repair...

Brakes adjusted, Carrier Stop Light, Horn Button Before taking her out on the maiden voyage, I went through and adjusted all the brakes. Not sure why I didn't do it when I already had her jacked up before. All my brakes were way out of adjustment. My pedal travel before adjustment was about 5...
