Just completed first test drive of my M52A2 after major repairs; basically from the frame up. The project was started to repair the major rusted items like the fenders which were almost gone but quickly turned into going through the entire truck.
Since I sold my trailers, I decided to remove the 5th wheel and replace it with a flat bed with no modifications to the frame/truck. The list of new parts is so long, I would be here all night listing them. As can be seen in the cab pictures I went with new air ride seats, eliminating (but keeping) those horrible back breaking bench and spring loaded seats which I had put about 10,000 miles on.
I had originally planned on using Duplicolor Bed Armor on only the bed but my son talked me into doing the entire truck. It went on well over the original paint.
I still have a few items to complete to include the installation of the fuel fired heater (everything is installed except for the fuel line. I bench tested this little heater and it will be awesome this winter), the glove compartment and a Kats block heater. Next summer, it will get an A/C.
