Finally worked on the M59

[hndrsonj]

Well, I finally got some M59 time in. Installed correct radiator (non camaro) and some minor engine stuff. Tightened all the starter components added different battery (and it runs now!!!). Removed the front clip, installed a rust free used gasser one. Added the correct fuel tank (minus one strap) and quarter fenders while removing bubbas extra tank mounts (I really dislike bubba). then I started grinding off all the welded on "extras" that it had (again I don't like bubba). I figure I still have about 8 hours of grinding crap off, but that will be later. Thanksgiving should see a rust free gasser cab with doors,hardtop, and windshields installed. Photos will be on then. By the way it's like 6 colors now.

Wow I'm finally able to do this

Geez, you tell us all that, and that it's six colors, and no pics? Where's that ban button....

Sounds like it will be a changed truck, and that the blue M59 parts are going to a good home.

Finally got by my parts stash today Jim. Is this the one you need? PM me an adress and I'll send it on its way.

 

[hndrsonj]

Yep Joel that's it. If you send it you can keep all the other parts. I'll send the last mount with twright in Oct. I think you'll be missing 2 of those brackets and that's all.
thanks for the info,
