I am a few weeks work behind in updates. Billman and I made a license plate holder and put the plates on, did some more sanding and painting, replaced the turn signal flasher, installed inexpensive seat covers, mount an inexpensive fan, replaced the transmission mount and modulator, and changed...

I have one cellphone picture of the spray paint handiwork. I haven't gotten to the roof yet. It needs the most work, and I am building up to it. I should get around to washing the windows as well.

I just cleaned up after another day working on the truck. Billman and I change the lift pump on the truck. I hope I am never involved in any way with another one of those things. We cleaned the IP return line, which was without ball and pretty clean anyway. Then we mixed up some epoxy and...

The other truck is owned by Billman. My truck is in his garage. The SF97 arrived today, June 22. The charge was processed on June 8. It took less than a month start to finish. Not too bad. Title and historic tags are in the works. A local company does all the leg work for a small fee. I will be...

I think the biggest issue to acquiring a deuce and a half is whether we can get it in a garage. How tall are those things? Edit- Found the answer. 112" tall. It isn't going to fit.

The disease is spreading quickly (because we obviously didn't have enough to do already)... but that is for another thread.

I had another full day working on the truck yesterday. The truck had sat without the right side inner fender for two weeks while I tried to find a replacement. I think a leaking battery had eaten away at it. Without the fender I had no batteries and was unable to test the other maintenance...

We got after it again late last night. We installed a 12 volt outlet in the stock location, fixed the transmission linkage, replaced the glow plug controller, relay and the plugs, changed out the battery cables, changed the transmission fluid and filter, and the fluid in both differentials. We...

I don't know as I could ever read bumper numbers, but here is what I have come up with (I could very well be wrong)- Left side 1AE-158 I BDE-1st Armored Division East, 158 Infantry Brigade Right side 2-350 LSB62- 2nd Battalion 350 Regiment Logistical Support Branch, Truck 62 From what I...

I am shooting for a trip over in the truck near the end of summer. I tried to get the antenna mount and its brush guard off for you, but failed. The top right retaining nut is spinning in the fender, and it is hidden behind the brush guard. I think I will need some guidance with this one.

Billman and I put in several hours last night working on the truck, braving the thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Positives- We mounted the tailgate, rear view mirror, brake pedal pad, removed the inner fender, changed the oil, installed the doghead recommended starter relay, mounted the...

The white box has a jack, collapsible road safety triangles (or whatever they are called), and some radio manuals. It only took Billman an hour to get it running, and that included changing the batteries, looking the truck over top to bottom, and going through the manuals to troubleshoot it...

The garage belongs to Billman. My garage isn't suitable for this project, or any for that matter.

My buddy looked at the starter and apparently everything is fine there. I just looked up greasing the wheel bearings, and it looks pretty intimidating. I think he is familiar with doing it, at least I hope so.

Thanks guys. I have glow plugs, glow plug relay, and a new controller on the way. I have the starter relay ready to go in. I bought new batteries, but the ones that came in the truck passed a load test, so that is nice. I managed to find bolts for the tailgate, and a spare tire. I am getting...

I am down in Howard County.

The driver's side floorboard as a few pin holes, but looks pretty good. The passenger side has a bit more rust damage in the rocker panel. I don't think either side will require major repair. Not perfect, but not bad.

I just started looking at getting a CUCV a few weeks ago. I hadn't looked at GL before then, but found some nice trucks for sale at Sparta. Of course, I couldn't justify spending that much money of those, so I got this one instead. I paid as much to ship it as it cost, but it was...
