Post #5 or 6, can't remember? Truck is on hold:-(. Same sit as with the Vietnam truck I'm doing, wants vs have to haves. Any commitments i've made will be kept but won't be making any new ones until sit changes. I can do a lot that don't cost things, those are free. but that fancyy paint job...

Would those mirrors be available, perhaps?:popcorn:

If there was anyway possible, I'd help you get them home. But I think this is one of those brother bonding moments...:lol:. Hows the wrist?

Clunking and popping is VERY bad! :!::!: I am not a doc..I are crew chief on heliocpoter. But when I injured my wrists and got that wonderfuull feeling you describe,:-( It was not just bad, but...well, my only advice is get to a doc as soon as you can and have them look at it. You did some bad...

I definitely will try to get there this afternoon. No one should have to endure a full garage:-D

Post #3 Weather was fantastic:mrgreen:! Used the time to clean out all the crap (literally) from all the nooks and crannies of the truck. Emptied out the tool box (filthy), washed out the Bed of 95% +/- (dirty) and removed the floor plugs in the cab and turned on the hose after removing a big...

Beautiful Truck and Awsome pictures!!!, Thank you! These as well as the other pics of trucks are going in a reference book for me to use. The TM's are OK but black and white photos just don't cut it.

GMC 6X6 try this site. They say they have a dash part that looks like it will work. Disclaimer, I don't know anything about this company.

He hasn't given tham all away, yet. I promise to keep the non-public ones secret (if there are any). I have the gear lug wrench, have three different types in fact. Ones an odd ball no matter what you call it. The wrench is great, the problem is I ani't got enough backside to turn the durn lugs...

Now I'm depressed. No money and no way to get it to Wyoming..sometimes you get the bull and sometimes you get the horn...Darn, just got horned.:-D Thank you very much for the info. [thumbzup] I can only hope a similar deal shows up near here ; when I have money of course.

Beautiful truck! Mine will look as good when I'm done. You set a standard i have to match. Where do you get your parts such as brakes and engine gaskets?

This is one of those times that all I can say is I don't know but can surmise some things, which just means I might have a clue. I would strongly suspect, especially since it's a 54 that it ended up in either Japan for Occupation duties or it was sent to Korea and as part of the rotation of...

Thank you very much for the pictures, definitely going to help my project. My truck has the tool box, it's full of junk including 30-06 ammo. I've got something to compare with, Thanks!

As soon as I can get the time, There's some parts trucks up north. I'll keep my eyes open for a dash. Not sure when we'll be able to make the run, might be early spring when the darn weather calms down arond here...really need one of those emoticons that has crossed fingers

WOW! Thank you! I think my work load just doubled...Does your truck have a foot bar on the passenger side?

Picture would be great! I was given a site that has the manuals for free use but haven't had time to download all of them yet. Appreciate the help![thumbzup]

Winds are 50+ today. Since the truck is out in the wind, not safe for man nor beast to work on it. Got other trucks to work on, so for now the 211 is on hold.

Almost forgot. Got all the junk wood and crap out of the back. It's all cleaned up except for taking a pressure washer to the back end of the truck to get as much mud off before going in the shop. Tried to get the air tank valve to open, wouldn't budge. By that time, too tired, cold and sore...

Post #2 Today, plan to replace right rear wheel. This morning I pulled the rails that had been installed. Wasn't hard, between the wood rot and less than perfect construction, they came right out. Books are coming out too. Since I don't have the hood supports, I'm just going to pull it so I can...

Post #1 To seperate the previous posts on info gathering for the 211 and the actual start and running of the restoration, I've numbered this Post #1, hope no one gets confused. Todays plan is simple, swap out the left front tire/ It's flatter than a pancake and won't hold air. If you keeping...
