Got the truck re assembled and running. Gave her a quick wash this morning. The kids mine any my neighbors love riding in the back. I have a parasitic draw isolated to the generator or regulator. Gonna need some help with electrical, it's not intended wheel house. I've been looking for...

Sand Blasting day! Yeah!

Just glad he ain't peein on everything... He's a good kid, learning more every day.

Removed all of the wiring, the cab, sprayed clean, applied zed industrial, waited 5 minutes and pressure cleaned again. The Zep worked great, I applied it undiluted which removed most of the old paint. Working with Kyle (a teenager)is a lot like training a puppy, he doesn't know anything...

Does anyone know how to install the new cowl to hood weather strip? The old one is held down with what looks like little brass nails. Same for the front fender weather strips.

Harness is ordered, paint ordered and body work scheduled. Now to get the greasy stuff whipped into shape.

Got a call out to Joe on the wiring, he already emailed me the price. It is expensive but quality isn't cheap and the peace of mind of having new equipment is worth it to me. I want my brake lights and turn signals functioning when I take my kids for a ride. Kyle has the cab bolts off, we...

Well I have determined that I have the Douglas connections, "metal connectors". My truck has already been upgraded to have turn signals, I'm happy about that. I'll email vintage wiring of main today and wait for him to call and discuss. Thanks for pointing me towards a new harness, I like...

Rodger that guys, I have downloaded and printed the manuals. Just need to determine if the connectors are Packard or Douglas, and what the differences are between the M37 and the M37B1 wiring. My truck has a plug on the bottom passenger side of the dash curious if this is an outlet for a map...

I appreciate your input, I saw vintage power wagons website posted, I think it was $1100 for the full harness. I want it done right and I know that's going to cost more than it does to just keep it running. I'll give the guy in Maine a call Monday. Also, thanks for the lead on paint, won't...

I have some questions concerning rewiring the truck. Currently the wiring is a birds nest. Has anyone rewired one of these trucks and what would you say about your experience??? I'm ok with purchasing a brand new harness but I am no electrical guy and am concerned with getting everything ran...

Made good progress so far, Kyle is running out of body parts to remove. We are contemplating how to go about removing the cab while dealing with the electrical.

Question about part!!! In the attached picture, under object U is the "Filter, Ignition Assembly 1268949" from page 6 in TM9-1840A in the manual I am having trouble locating details about this part, specifically what wire should be going into it and where should the wire out be going to, what...

I have a question for you seasoned restorers; I'm going to be priming and painting all of the parts "off the truck" When I re assemble the body, all the bolt's will be unpainted (most replaced with new bolts). Should I prime and put one coat of paint, then re install all the body parts and...

Thanks Storm 51, I logged in to G741 and will likely start a similar thread there focused more on just the truck. Here are some more pictures, I've been on Kyle to label bolts and for the most part he's been doing it. Kyle just gets ahead of himself, especially when he feels there is...

What would you do with this? Cross member is in good shape on the outer sides, rivets seem tight, only rust is where the top to bottom seam. I was thinking of spraying the inside of it with some POR until it drips from the seams? I just don't want to worry about rust going forward. I just...

Oh and the filler opening on the gas tank is gummed up with a red substance, curious what the inside of the tank looks like. Truck was sitting for three years prior. Hoping vinegar and steam wash will take care of the build up.
