Wow, that truck reminds me of "Fred" off of CARS the movie.

Good question, what did you get?

I took the GL paint off by first using a hobby knife to scrape off the big stuff. Once I got the paint layer down pretty thin, I just used that CRC Brake Cleaner in the red can to remove the rest. I just sprayed a little into a rag and just scrubbedit. Albeit, some of the CARC will come off...

Gees, KJ1969 the truck you are getting sounds great and all but there's one thing. Restoring these trucks is 80% of the fun w/the other 20% being driving them. Good luck to you with whatever decision you make.

Definately interested in this as well[thumbzup]

Probably going to fashion out a winch cable cover with a shelter half and some proper 1 inch GI binding straps

I made a huge mess out of my cable by slabbing on some TackyLube. Now I'm looking for a cover so I can keep my hands and shoes off the stuff.

Wow, now that is a Mercedes[thumbzup]

looks good[thumbzup]

Save it or sell it. Don't part it out!!!

One thing to consider is matching the pattern up to the cargo cover you plan on using. Not sure what the deal is out there, but the two 3 color camo truck I have purchased have had a completely different pattern than the cover. I mean it wasn't even close. Both trucks were Tooele Depot rebuilds...

I agree with Stan, find someone with at least an M818 to help you out. If not I'd hire it out. I wouldn't try and haul that with a deuce.

Wow, this one nice clean looking truck. Definately convinced me to re-CARC my truck!!! Forget Gillespie, that CARC is beautiful....who would have ever thought beautiful could describe CARC...I am really too far in this hobby:roll:

I have had to revert to this particular technique when I rebuilt the 4 winches I have. I used a standard 1/2" rubber mat on a concrete floor for this. What I did was simply tore down my winch as shown in your 2nd pic. I placed the shaft portion on the floor and lifted the entire assy about 3...

Hmm, I wonder if Dan has room for one more deuce:p...JK Dan[thumbzup]

The bell housing is different b/c the starter on the LDS is on the port side and the starter on the LDT is on the starboard side. The turbo on the LDT was not fitted on the engine for performance. The turbo is merely part of the "Clean air" kit. The gov't used the turbo to reduce the smoke...
