The question is what is "a reasonable cost?" Painting a vehicle now days at a body shop, will be expensive unless you know someone.

We haven't even started looking at vehicles. Right now we are hauling scrap to gain access to the yard. I spent the last two days cutting up that nuclear missile tripod hoist......

Problem is; there's a lot of vehicles I'd pick before the M36.........

Yes, i'll pick it up in 2-3 weeks; after I clear a path to it. (and figure out how to get it off the 1952 M36 it is sitting on)

Or some sandpaper and a couple gallons of gloss automotive paint....:grd:

So I have an opportunity to pick up a 1951 M38 with arctic top and heater; what is it realistically worth? It's been sitting since the 1970's and has virtually no rust.

Your 2 gallon will not work at all. You generally need about 15 CFM (varies with tip size). Most household 5HP compressors will really struggle with a blaster. I would say that is an absolute minimum.

You need CFM's while sandblasting. My 5 HP will actually shut off while blasting due to the air it produces (granted it was 2K). If you need to rent a compressor, they are actually not bad.

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_517_517 OK, they went up a bit, but it will last.

Make sure you get one with a concave top (no need for a funnel), make sure it's at least 100 pound capacity. Northern tool sells nice ones (quality) for around $400. I have a $1400 Snap on one I found on Craigslist for $350. My 5 HP Quincy compressor easily operates it.

What kind of torque wrench and how old? Most are totally jacked up....

Bed sides in primer and on the truck. Tomorrow is the last day of school till fall, so now we'll switch to drivetrain cleaning and install...

Changed all seals/gaskets in steering box, bed big pitting fixed, bed sides blasted and primed. Mating surfaces painted-they go on tomorrow.

So is it me, or aren't there any combat rim parts in this link? Or did I just not see them?

Front fenders mounted correctly, filling in bed floor issues, getting ready to mount bed sides.

Cab, doors, and part of bed on.:D

2 brackets.

The color is on it-Navy Grey.
