Jerry, it will not be candy apple red. It will be as it was created in the same year I was born. I can't change me and I will not change it.

Dap, thanks for your reply. It will not be reinstalled on the truck. Dell, new seats came with the truck. They will be installed and are not pictured because they are not an issue. The hood is cherry and only needs blasting and paint. This truck was really in great shape and the previous...

Its real wet here so have had time to progress on the truck. I had a couple areas on the cab I was not happy with and have gone back and fixed them. The cab is ready for paint. Today we worked on the bed. There were some welds that must have held something on in its past and I ground them down...

Welcome to Steelsoldiers!!

Welcome aboard. I am just up the road from you in Brooklet.

I had a farm truck clutch fail a couple weeks ago. The petal felt normal but the clutch would not disengage. It was a four finger plate and two of the pivot bolts had broken out of the face casting. Not the same problem as yours but could be related. Sounds like you will have to pull the...

I spent most of the afternoon working on the truck. I finished sanding the cab and it only needs a couple scraches filled and the drivers door stop bracket is missing. I will fab one up and weld it in. I sanded the doors down to bare metal with the DA sander on the outside. The first door came...

Squirt truck that idea is in my head. I can't decide if I can leave the Duece home though because it looks forward to seeing all its Friends once a year. I need another driver.

Here is the paint I got for the truck. Two gallons epoxy primer with its reducer and hardner, 3 gallons 24087 with its reducer and hardner, measuring cups and a measuring ruler, two empty cans, stir sticks and filters. The cans say western automotive paint on them. I got all from the local...

Brother Zout, you know when I grow up I want to be just like you don't you???

Zout, I haven't painted any parts yet but do you mean a picture of the actual cans themselves?? It is single stage but with hardener added. It sounds like it would be great to use if you had all day to paint as the directions say one coat epoxy, flash time 30 minutes, second coat epoxy, flash...

acrilic enamal is what I got. You may want to shop around because I did not ask price when i ordered the paint. Rapco would have been the best deal but I assumed if I got it local with no hasmat fees it would be just as cost efective. I got two gallons of Epoxy primer and three Gallons of...

Got busy on the farm recovering a greenhouse as we have Tomatoes ready to be transplanted into pots for early tomatoes. When I could I left the Guys and worked on the tailgate for the truck. The pipe that it hinges on was completely torn loose and the metal that held it was also torn loose...

No cobra5, I could not find codes for the 23070. The codes given were for 24087. We will see how close it is when I spray some. This paint turned out to be quite expensive And if I had it to do over I might go a different route, but this truck is in great shape and this paint will protect...

Certainly not picking on you Brother Zout. I can't believe how you can get stuff done so quick. I bought My Daughter a 66 Mustange which she drove to High School and then to UGA. There are still black streaks on the road by my house where she peeled out every morning going to school, and that...

I am glad my M37 is not as big as that DUKW.:shock:

Ok so the order is not great but you guys get the picture. These shots are of the disassembled truck scattered around. The engine and transmission are ready for paint. The frame is ready for sandblasting as are all the parts on the trailer. I have the rest of the seals and bearings I need except...

Looks like the program has changed since I last posted pictures so this may look strange until I figure it out. These pictures show a fender I have already repaired and then the one I did today. One shows the cancer, then it cut out, then the patch drawn out to be cut out, then the finished repair.

We have been working towards sandblasting and painting and I have some time to post some pictures. These pictures show the truck when it arrived on the Farm.

Dell, if you are comeing close to me stop by and see what I have. I would enjoy a visit and Bob would be here to. He is doing great.
