I wanted to keep the original size because I will be towing a trailer with the build. Wanted the truck to have the same torque and power while towing up grades. The new tires are a heavier ply then the stock tires and have more aggressive look while still giving me a radial tread for longer...

Lots of progress has been made in the last week and a half. I got 11 brand new 9r20 power king super traction hd tires will all new tubes for the truck. I wanted a more aggressive stock tire to keep the same power and torque but also have better traction. I broke all 11 tires down and sanded...

Installed the brakelights and painted them up. Also installed new wiper blades. These are Anco 4101 wiper arms and bought some tricor classic 12" wiper blades. Will get photos tomorrow but I can tell the spring tension is much greater than the military setup and the wiper blade is larger...

Finished the passenger side sanding and priming and painting. Found out when I went to lightly sand the fuel tank I found rust holes appear out of no where. 😡 So I just bought a new fuel tank for the truck. Should cover me for the next 50 years. And better to find out now then on a long trip...

Installed new lockout hubs. I was able to sand and grind the entire driverside rear frame. Primed it and applied spray on bedliner on bottom side of box and herculiner bedliner on the frame. Painted everything green. Looks brand new again. Included is the before picture

Ended up removing passenger and driverside wheels and sanding and priming both. Used a Rust-Oleum spray on bedliner for the fenders. Used high temp black paint for exhaust and used herculiner roll.on bedliner for the frame. Painted the frames green. Sanded and primed and painted both brake...

I was able to assemble the grill with new stainless steel hardware over the last couple days and repaint everything after the grill was assembled. Decided it was time to replace the hood latches and ordered some new ones. Installed grill today. Looks brand new again. Also sanded, primed and...

A new set of stock airhorns work well. A lot of times the old horns have dirt inside and or need to be tuned up to work well. New sets on my trucks have worked great and get attention!

Installed the fire extinguisher today. Used the orginial mount and used mount from new fire extinguisher to bolt in place. I also decided to remove all the components of the grill and replace all new hardware. Sanded, primed and painted the grill. Just need to reassemble grill and mount back...

I bought a 2.5lb abc extinguisher and mounting it next to the shifter on the right hand side. Wanted it to be easily accessible. I'm putting a larger one in the can box itself. Didn't want too large of a fire extinguisher taking up too much space.

Well today made alot more progress. Purchased a Wagner paint sprayer from Lowe's. Up to this point I always used air to spray the trucks. This was a new experience. I had to really dial back the power on this gun. Got the hang of it and went to town on the cab exterior. 1 gallon of paint later...

Well today I got the surfaces prepped for herculiner. Applied to the battery box, tool box, both steps, fenders, bumper and front face of the truck. Sanded down the engine side panels, primed and painted them. Painted the trucklite led turn signals and led blackout light from trucklite. I...

Today I managed to prime the driverside door and tool box and step. Installed the locking door handles. Doors look brand new after hours of sanding. Hoping to have the exterior cab painted by Tuesday afternoon pending weather. Then it's onto the box.

Glad to hear you have the green fever like the rest of us.

Very slick design. When I build a guntruck in the future I will def mount it in the bed of the truck.

Thank you fpchief. I just keep plugging away when I have the time and break it up into parts. If I had a shop I could get alot more done but we all work with what we have.

After all the interior work I started working on the outside. Got the mushroom cleaned up and primed and painted it and got it placed on the snorkel. Got a 90 degree 4" elbow from Napa and boom, a cheap but affordable snorkel tube. Just to keep rain and snow out of the intake. Then I started...

I applied multiple light coats because the weather in northern pa has not been the most cooperative. After painting dad and I took the seats apart and installed Monroe shocks. The orginial Gabriel ones were completely bad. These fit in with some elbow grease and slight grinding on the edge...

More has been completed on the rv build. I finished priming the cab and applied bedliner to the floor and to the inside doors. I then painted everything in lusterless marine corps forest green. Hands down my fav od green shade.

If that's true then I could cut it down to fit the rt524. I'll get some measurements and find out how much space before buying anything.
