Well just do it again and post some pictures! nopics

If you use a step bit (the one that makes bigger holes the deeper you go) it will stop as soon as it makes the hole. It is not a spiral so less chance it will pull in further. Once you have the hole you can use a thin screwdriver to measure the depth.

PB would have a **** fit if he saw that! i only see on chain in the back! Should have at least 4 chains securing it on. :deadhorse:

As I stated yesterday I worked on the exhaust system today. Took a while to remove the old pipes do to rusty fine threaded bolts. The J-pipe was in worse condition than I thought (see picture). Once I installed the new J-pipe I cut it about 4" above the opening in the fender. Next I...

Thank you for the good wishes. i appreciate all the encouragement and support from members.:grd:

Latest update! I painted the box floor with the Polyurethane paint today. Came out nice. Might adjust the color a bit for the 2nd coat. Also touched up the paint on the rail I installed yesterday. Installed the remote air tank drain valves. Exhaust J-pipe came late in the day so i will...

Started todays project by removing the other side rail from the passenger side of the box. It was int he same condition as the one I restored yesterday. I refinished it and reinstalled it the same manner as the one I had already installed yesterday. Once I finished with the rail I primed...

Nice truck! I am glad you don't have to go through all the repair work I have done to my truck! One thing we have in common is a brand new engine! Mine had 88 hours on it at pickup time.

If you press GL about it you may get replacement parts from them or credit for their value. You have to do it before you take possession of it. I had the windshields, wipers and headlights removed from my M35A2 while waiting for my EUC to clear. GL gave me a $200 credit toward my next...

Sold the M820A2 to a fellow member. He will be picking it up early next month. If you need the top stack part I will have 2 of them available after the muffler install. The muffler I am installing is 30" long -so I have to cut the J-pipe shorter to fit it in. The cut off piece is perfect...

No, I bought one on Ebay and it's gonna be here on Monday. Already have the muffler from NAPA so I should have the exhaust system finished Tuesday at the latest.

Today's project was to work on the side rails on the box. They had missing rivets and gaps where the sheet metal had pulled away from the rails. I removed the sheet metal screws that were used to temporarily replace the missing rivets. Using an angle grinder i ground off the rivet heads off...

As promised here are some pictures of the patches I installed yesterday on the box exterior.

I did exactly that! I was contemplating repairing the rusted door and leaving it in. Then I thought about it some more and realized I would have no use for it even in the camper conversion. So I just removed it and patched over the area. Next project is those side rails this weekend. I may...

Must be nice to have money! Wait, after paying for 3 M35A3 you may not have any money left....LOL Hope you got a good deal and that they turn out to be in as nice condition as you hoped. How about sharing some pictures while you wait for the EUC to clear.

Since I got the floor down I decided to do some patch work on the exterior walls. I wanted to remove some unused items and patch over the openings. First to go was one of the antenna mounts. Had 2 long bolts holding it in. Had 3 holes to caulk over. Next I removed one of the exterior plugs...

If you buy an electronic switch for the wipers you can get control of them the way you do in a car. Look up Cole Hersee wiper switches. They come in manual or electronic versions.

OK I have the pictures! I managed to take the truck out today to the local Stated Police Station to get the VIN # Verified. I took the documents and went to DMV and got the Title and Registration work done. I got the Registration so now I can drive the truck around legal! I managed to do...

Thanks Tim. Well the weather was windy but dry today so I decided to finish the floor late in the afternoon. I brushed the floor clean. Next I caulked around the entire perimeter of the plywood floor to seal everything up. I installed the window tape along the 2 plywood seams. I used...
