Sounds like Barry Kripke from Big Bang Theory :doghead:

My list of projects for the truck is getting short. I hope to have most of the tasks done this week. Here is what is left: 1-Finish installing steps. (tomorrow) 2-Seam-seal hardtop seams and around back window 3-Touchup painting over sealed areas 4-Install CB antenna and run wire to...

How about "Still MADE IN USA" :tank: or "REAL MEN DRIVE REEL TRUCKS" :driver:

Went to Home Depot today and returned the aluminum angle i had not used on the Console project. I also picked up some 1'x1" x 1/8" steel angle, some 1/8" flat stock, and some 2" x 2" x1/8" angle. I already had a piece of 1/4" thick 6" by 24" aluminum diamond plate and 5/8" 4 ply conveyor...

How about some cheese-steak sammiches for Yankees and PB.

Glad you are feeling well enough to be back in business.... :tank:

Today I worked on wiring in the radio, speakers and CB. Lucky for me i already had a spare line in the ceiling when i ran the wires for the dome lights. All I had to do was tap into it in the battery compartment and run it to the fuse panel and install a 15 amp fuse. I am sharing the ground...

No it does not hit at all. Already tested yesterday when i drove it down the street to show it off to my friend Billy. You are not stealing the idea. I posted all my ideas as freeware. If i were guarding the designs I would not give so much detail about how I make them. I am glad some of...

Thank you for the compliment. My work pales in comparison to the work you are doing on your FEMTT project. I've been watching the awesome progress!

A lot less work with the canisters. If you need a larger cup holder for a big gulp try the Multi-fuel oil filter canisters or the NHC 250 Oil filter canister.:tank:

I found a piece of metal that was removed from the bench seat back support corner bracket. I duplicated the bracket from the first cup holder using the angle grinder to cut and sand it. Drill out the holes the same pattern as the first one. I painted it flat black as well. Inserted the screw...

Did some serious thinking about cup holders last night. I searched Ebay, AMAZON.COM, and the internet for heavy duty cup holders. Most of them out there are plastic. They break too easy! Found a Stainless Steel version of the folding cup holder offered in the classifieds. Price was $30...

timntrucks managed to move 2 of my 40 foot 9-1/2' tall empty containers on my property in 2008 using his wrecker. So it can be done.

Once I finished the fan installation I started to work on the speaker mounts. I used some more of the scrap aluminum sheet to fabricate the speaker mounts. Once I bent on bracket to fit the top inside corner of the hardtop I duplicated it in reverse to fit the other side. (I like to do it...

Today was a bit chilly out, but at least it didn't rain! Decided to install the dash fan as a starting point for today. I used a piece of scrap aluminum left from the overhead console/sun visor project. First I figured where to install the mount for the fan. There were air hoses in the way...

I wish I knew sooner about you needing a M931. I have one stuck at my friend's shop for 5 months now trying to get him to repair the rusty cab floor. All he managed to do so far was cut the rusty sections out. That was 4 months ago. No progress since.

2 large holes in the back or there is a scored line you can cut to remove the entire back section. If you mean sealed as in weather resistant then no it is not. The radio/CD player in Marine Duty. The face is not installed yet. Will do that when I finish the wiring.

Sorry i forgot to mention that I got the radio housing from AMAZON.COM. It's a METRA 99-9000 Turbo kit. (Universal Under-Dash Housing.) $13.78 with free shipping. MADE IN USA woo hoo! The sun visors are sold on Ebay. I got mine for $36 a pair plus $13 shipping. They are brand new!

Today was a nice day out. Got a lot done! Set up the saw horses to use as a work table. Started putting one of the cut aluminum sheet piece up on the cab ceiling so i can mark the location for the sun visor. Once I marked it on the aluminum piece I removed the piece and took it to the work...

Thank you for the compliment. Where in NJ are you located. I lived in Cherry Hill most of my life until the tax burden forced me to go somewhere cheaper.
