Extra Dirt - No Charge?
Hydraulic Clutch?

Air actuated clutch release (defeat?) cylinder. Operated from rear deck just forward of drag winch to engage/disengage crane/winch hydraulic drive. Little fuzzy on it as I've just started goofing with mine. The controls on the deck have this clutch pedal defeat item, power divide to winch or crane, and hand throttle. Went to move the truck and had no clutch pedal drove me nuts for about 10 minutes before I realized I'd left the actuator lever in the engage position.....

Thanks for keeping these photos coming. This is a great project and we are all living vicariously through you!

That hood looks really nice.
Amazing how many of those trucks have a "hood line crease" in them.
Yours seems to be completely dent free!

 

[foxtrot]

I reassembled the horizontal line and the depressions with several wooden and plastic hammers, not iron.
Save time and no putty.
I come back as close as possible with the sanding of the primer, several coats if necessary.
You may have seen the torch in the photo.

It's not perfect because I cut out many letters.
I stay within tolerance.

Your truck is progressing nicely! Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the finished result!

Tomorrow the three additional color on the hood.

The paint is not matt yet, it is not dry, only the color sand.
For the black star, I decided to paint a 24" star instead of 20 in the manual.

recycled leather,
a wooden drill bit for drilling with shoulder and eight rivets.

Clean and rust free.
The darker places reddish brown and the original primer.

These cab shots are awesome. I will be doing rocker repair this winter and to see a cab stripped down like this is immensely helpful. Keep the pictures coming, this is an awesome project and I love the paint job,

 

[KN6KXR]

That.... is a lot of work! Envious of your progress.

Are you all going by hand or is this a combination of blasting, DA sander and hand? Would like to see pictures of your mess. I think my work area is similar and I have similar things on the long list so am curious to steal your methods. All my best ideas are stolen!

Left side rocker repair bends look interesting. Shear, brake and TIG would be handy items. Thanks for the pictures!

is there any chance to buy one of these dash plates?

 

[US6x4]

Eastern Surplus bought out all of dataplates.net inventory so they have a good selection. TNJMURRAY also has a good selection of data plates.

I finished undressing the cab.
Clogged air ducts.
