Welcome to the madness sir,from Salmon River Country!

1-shovel out around EVERYTHING to eliminate any resistance. 2-throw some 3/4 crush road mix gravel,or coarse sand,or throw some chains under the tires.Or go ahead and put on some tire chains. 3-then again,maybe a tow truck bill would be cheaper than replacing that box!

My gasser came from the prev. owner with a new set of chains--found them in the undercab storage box on drivers side.Not as handy as hanging from loops welded to the under side of the bed but still "down low" easy to get to but not in sight to clutter the LOOK and they haven't "wandered off" in...

Tell her that if your broke, spending all yer free time working on the wagon at least she will know where you are at all times.Sometimes when I get crabby when things aren't going right, trying to keep up with all this iron, I tell the GF "Shoot!, maybe I oughta change hobbys---maybe get into...

PM sent.

--------and then we get 'er home and the neighbors in the HOA get ta belly-ache'in, and then the local Planning and Zoneing shows up and ##$@**--------------:twisted:

Someone buy the truck but let them keep the bed--it doesn't look like it belongs on the us6 anyway--theres alittle scrap iron there.

HHMMMM!!!?? I think I like it!I am toying with the idea of a custom.How does the truck sit with the new mod? Does it make the back higher than the front? How about a side view pic so we can see the "stance"? Good to know the overloads stay with it, just in case gotta haul heavy. Jim

Nice trailer--congrats!!

Get with your local PPG dealer.I use their DP40/401 epoxy primer all the time.Comes in red oxide, gray, white, graygreen or black.VERY versatile stuff. I use it over bare steel, then put the filler over that(bondo right on bare steel used to be done for years but this new way is better because...

Hey Dr. Gary, Welcome to the site and thanks for the very informative thread.My "other"truck is mostly a jumble of loose parts piled around aframe and cab.But since there is a clear title to it and now an engine sitting here ,it makes me think of going ahead and building the truck to drive...

Not to hi-jack but I am curious about the numbers on a truck I have: 353-179727-A2. These are off the data plate about shin bone level on the center of firewall.Date is 1-43.Hood #4155769. Thanks Paul. JJ

Some days you win--somedays you don't,but at least you lived to fight another day!Even if ya don't "win" and get it home the first time ,just going and doing is what its all about.Kinda like hunting trips I suppose. JJ

We take the M35 around on Saturday mornings in the summer pretty often.I get a chance to show off the big green toy and she gets to go yard saleing---and just about no matter what she gets,we got room to haul it home.

Had a Chevy van that was parked in the driveway one afternoon with the step daughter and her new(NOT well liked boyfriend)sitting in it when the spare on the rear rack blew!!!The look on the little idiots face was priceless!!!:twisted: Don't think the wife was ever totally convinced of my...

Great post---I was just wondering the other day if it's possible to get the correct shade of all of our favorite shades of green in the MV hobby in powdercoat. AND if it is flat--not shiny. I had thought of having some wheels blasted, powdercoated and then painting with urethane OD.Be a lot...

HHMM?? I guess at 53 I am in the pregeezer (copywrite pending) crowd.Seems like I'm still 23,but as a famous comedian once said "I find my mind writing checks my body can't cash!"

Well here goes my 2 cents worth----my parts duece has damage to that area --I am thinking about using the truck for a custom(bob) and even though it has no rust I will be changing the cab tub.To cut out and weld a new section there,would be VERY time consuming and chances are "something...

Middle of the nite, in the cold,in a hurry trying to fix a major breakdown probly after already working 16 hrs a day for weeks,burning up precious time during the small window of opportunity to get the harvest out of the field,so you can sell your product in a market totally out of your...

I live in deep snow country(snow- The White Death) and to be safe I pull the cargo cover and the bows and put them in a shed.Then I park the truck in the tree well of a Ponderosa Pine behind the house since I dont have room in the shop for it.I cover the cab with a Walmart tarp and shovel out...
