It's already past the point of returns. And I have welded it in place on the axle. Just haven't had time to work on anything much. Work, kid in college, kids getting in a wreck by a hit-and-run, Father-in-law in the hosptial, and now my step father had a stroke last Wed. I'm going to try to...

I'd make a joke about when hell freezes over. But it's 11F right now. I don't plan on giving up the multifuel. I do plan to try out a different turbo, LDS rockers. And maybe a few other things too. Also have a LDS laying around if I need it....

It has been nothing but rain the past few days, and today as well. I did get the hydromax booster and MC mounted up where I thought about mounting it. It also has plenty of clearance around the hood. And here's that aluminum plate that pretty much lined up perfect for two of the MC bolt...

I think the plan will be this. First I'm going to weld up the mounts for the steering assist cylinder. Once that's on, I can still drive the truck even if it's not plumbed up. The next task will be mounting the steering servo. Again, another task that once done, can be driven without being...

The candy smasher made it back to the shop today. So now the fun of building power steering, upgrading the brakes, and stuff I want to upgrade/address begins! Man look at that paintwork @Spot_ll did.

Urethane. I don't think the rubber seals are available. And the urethane is probably the better option anyhow.

I piddled a little yesterday at lunch over at @Spot_ll 's we managed to get the drivers window reinstalled with the new glass. And the windshield is sealed in the frame. Also got the other crusty frame primed. But there's rain today. Tomorrow I have to go into the office. So maybe Thursday...

There was in fact a layer of paint that was applied with a mop. Thankfully that was sandblasted off...

The cab is pretty good shape. The only rust is in the very tail end of one side of the bed.

While it cost a grand to have it blasted. After messing around for several days, it was money well spent IMO. The problem now is that I'm watching auctions for a 180+ cfm air compressor. Because I want to get @Spot_ll a sideline gig going lol.

Funny. I'm happy to see it not have 7 layers of flaking paint.

Been a few projects between, SEMTT, HMMWV, CUCV, Wrecker, Ferret. And others I'm sure.

Looks to be mostly sand.

So I've had this truck for a number of years. Honestly I stopped driving it around 10 years ago. But I've had it since 2007. Today I have had the body "dustless" sandblasted. And I've got it primed. The plan is to have @Spot_ll work his magic on it like he did my CUCV. There will be other...
