    The truck is completly finished. I also have everything needed to turn it into a winch truck (minus the pto shaft). Need to sell it, any takers?

    I figured it would just crack and flake off. The additives might work, but it would flap in the wind a bit and probably still crack. I dunno if they are cheap I might try it. Thanks Guys!

    Thanks I like the look too, just not what I am going for on this truck. I will wash my current top and see how I like it (its very dusty). We went all green on my father in laws bobbed deuce and I really like that.

    My used to be M818 With Deuce C bed on it

    Ok here are the pics. I need to actually paint the inside of the bed, the hood and a little touch up on the passenger side. I also need to take all of the masking tape off and de fog the windows. I was cutting it very close on the rain so I just put a 1" strip around the frame of the glass and...

    Vinny I do not have the part number, go into just about any hose/fitting place. I got my fittings at my local NAPA. I took in just the original copper end and told them that I wanted to go to rubber fuel line and I needed the correct fittings. They are swivel ends if that helps.

    My used to be M818 With Deuce C bed on it

    Here are the pics with the doors back on and the mud flaps back on too. At the time I did not have a welder and the front flaps are off of an M813, so the legs were too long. I played around with the torch some and bent them to work. (ie when fueling the drivers side tank) kinda different and...

    Thanks Mike. I need to order my seal kit for my winch and then put new cable on it. Glad to hear that you got your winches put on. I take it that you have all of the parts that you need. Thane is waiting to get his winch. We have not been able to get a hold of the guy who has it. Oh well it will...

    Papa bear Thanks I took my time and did this right. I do not plan on towing much with the pintle so I did not cope the frames at a 45 or anything, I just butt welded with 100% penetration. Plus cover pass. Fish plated the inside and still used the original inner frame supports and bolted them...

    As for the spare I am not really sure what to do. I really do not want to modify the troop seats, bed rails or anything like that, so I will probably just mount in flat in the bed somewhere. I have a davit of of a newer 5 ton that they used for lifting the spare on and off. So not really a...
