You know the 545 is not equipped with overdrive, right? It's a decent pairing if you have acceptable differential gears or big tires like Hank does. Otherwise, you'll lose a lot of highway speed.

That, or a steam cleaner.

It only takes off light overspray.

If I had been able to paint the whole thing, the details would have been a lot better. I'm sorry about the overspray on your brake lines and I'm sure some other things that you didn't want painted. You should be able to remove it from the brake lines with WD-40 on a rag. That was a really hard...

Why is that? I know they are cool, but bound to be electrical nightmares, just like the LMTV series. It seems to me that the last half decent surplus trucks we will ever see are the 939 series. That is just the wind of change at work. When it gets to where all the military trucks have armor, our...

Sounds like a plan, assuming I don't blow it up between now and then. I think that video was on one of my threads. Edit: it was on the 75 mph in a deuce thread.

Ok cool. Just checking.

On the color, did you use grey primer on the box before the paint? The base color does affect the outcome. Also, the temperature greatly effects the shade as well. Remember, it was 90 degrees plus when we painted the truck. It may flash off and get closer to matching, but that far off, I doubt it.

Man, I can't fathom what was causing you problems with the 1/4" line. I have everything except my fuel tank and air pack plumbed into one central 1/4" vent line running up the frame, and I've had no issues yet. Were you still getting pinion leaks, or hub leaks, or what?

Looking good man. Hope the bed liner turned out ok. I wasn't really happy with how it was laying down when I was shooting it. Seemed like I got a bad batch or something but it certainly didn't come out the way the floor in my cab did. The floor in yours looks great though. And now that mine is...

The paint Looks even better with the girls all over it.

Hey, that guy does nice work!:D

Degrease the whole thing, then sand the areas that need it, wirewheel areas that call for it, and use aircraft stripper where the paint is real thick, then prime the whole thing and spray color.

It has some gloss to it now but it will go away as it cures. Mine was the same way when I painted it.

I do not dare! Haven't you heard? Speed kills man...

I have em' here.

Fair enough.

You want to drive my deuce? Why didn't you just ask?rofl By the way Hank, I'm leaving for the Texas rally Friday, so you can take your time getting here Thursday.

I am so gonna drive your truck while it is here.:naner: No kidding though, I do want to see how it drives and handles if you don't mind.

He has to get it over to me soon for a facelift so he can be sitting pretty at the LA rally.
