Nice! Frame's looking good. diy4x shackles have some serious beef. What size tire you going to fill the extra space with?:jumpin:

Agreed, paint is good. I have to remind myself that bellow is also true.

Well, I did finish the exhaust two years ago. Then life happened and here we are. I enjoy reading other peoples builds threads, maybe someone will get a kick out of what I have going on. Removing the 6.2/400 in favor of 4bd1t/4500. Details as I get there, but... charge air cooler...

They’re some Big ‘Uns for sure. Great jack stands! Shackle flip in progress?

I'd look for some longer bolts to help hold the rear portion of the case as you slide it back, just a couple to help keep it aligned, similar to what is done to slide the tranny back when replacing the rear main.

U joint in my rear driveshaft gave up the ghost, non greasable vatozone special, been on there six years. Didn't have to walk home, but did ask mrs.k for a bag of tools, a gatorade bottle and some tape. Not a bad place to breakdown, dog and I had a place in the shade. Removed driveshaft...

Looking good. Stock front axle, lift? If you get a chance, video and sound of that would be really cool.

Yes on first plug for M1010, second plug seems to be for the water in fuel diode. Pic from this helpful thread.

If you're working with stock wiring, I'd make sure I had 24v coming to the starter relay. After the smoke left you may have fried a fusible link. Look at diagram F-1 Starting Circuits found in the link bellow. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-wiring-diagram-color-except-m1010.75505/

This! Liberal use of sawzall is an added bonus. Still looks like a great start, congrats on the score.

Can't "Like" a post with those MV misfortunes, but good to see you posting. Here's to better luck for ya!

(y) My bad, you already have. Nice truck by the way. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1010-in-indiana.193166/#post-2259446

Lucky you! Now, only thing left is to read the 18,XXX threads in the CUCV section and the 761 threads in the CUCV Hot Rodding and Modification section and you'll be all caught up! Well, then there is the matter of the TM's.... :-D Joking aside, sounds like you've put a lot of work into...

Nice! Good job. Paint, Behr? Any steering mods? Agree with sharecropper, cut and reposition. If budget allows I'd replace. Plenty of options, from simple tabs to complete mounts or diy. To give ideas: https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/shockbracketstabs.html

Get well soon Tiny. Looking forward to an update.

Killer deal indeed! Thanks for the answer. Again, looking great!

Drivetrain is looking great! If you don't mind, how did you get the motor and tranny to play nice? I'm not having much luck finding adapter kits.

Less time, easier and a better end result. IMO.

Kudos to you for knowing your way around a sewing machine. Are you using your olds ones as a pattern or starting fresh? My mrs. made some out of cordura and after a few years, they're still in real good shape. On the plates, thinking radio tray and/or foot ramp, could not confirm with the TM...
