Road tripped our ‘71 to the Weare Rally in NH350 mile round trip for us. Loved every minute of it.

The head pipe or down tube is connected to the muffler with a band clamp. The muffler outlet connects to the flex joint with a band clamp as well and that in turn connects to the j pipe. I am sure there is a way to use your existing head pipe to connect to some sort of custom exhaust. The turbo...

Yep, stock. My ‘71 is an NA as a well. It’s loud enough with the muffler which is more like a spark arrestor. Plenty noisy at the A pillar. Not a great picture as it is of my tire but you can see the routing. The system is completely different from the turbos. The head pipe, j pipe, flex joint...

Oh what the heck! I’ll throw mine in the ring.

This is dedication. Nice work my friend, nice work.

I thought I was done painting! Working on some wheels. Scored one new tire, in search of another.

Well, there. 95% done, just a few bugs to work out and door seals. First run today in I don’t know how long.

Added a light switch adapter from Erik’s Military Supply so I can keep the park lamps on with the headlights.

We’ve got doors again!

I love the look of this truck. Excellent work!

3 1/2 gallons of 24087 and I missed a spot!🤣

Thanks. The inspiration came from the Deuce on the back cover of my much dog eared copy of David Doyle’s Standard Catalog of US MilitaryVehicles and old photos/videos of Vietnam era transportation companies. I’ve noticed lots of small unit non standard markings. The yellow is a gloss version of...

Thank you! A couple more weeks. The doors need to cure so I can add their stars and the bridge weight class. Almost home.

Every free moment! My lawn is a foot high! I’ll have to find another project when this one is done. I’ve heard they multiply on their own.

Thank you all for your encouragement! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Lots of assemble this weekend. Doors are in the “paint booth”

Busy weekend so far. Almost there!

I knew you were on here somewhere! They are coming out great, easy to work with. Thanks!

More parts in the paint booth. Almost done painting. Doors and window frame next. I am very pleased with the paint masks from Delta Team Decals. Very nice. Shot them with Rustoleum 7790 flat white, reduced 15-20% with acetone and a splash of Majic hardener.

Fortunately, I have not had to deal with bedliner but I suspect it is not removed easily. I suspect there will be another truck in my future, one to use and one to display. Although I would settle for an armored vehicle!

Purely for my own enjoyment at parades and shows and the grocery store. I’ll pamper the hell out of it but I love that these trucks get worked still. That is what they were made for. I am going for the “just issued to a unit, motor pool look” This has really been an enjoyable project. Have you...
