I'd just scuff it with a 80 grit sandpaper

It is coming along nicely Scotty, by the way did you have to prep the fuel tank anymore? It was looking rough yesterday.

I am really enjoying this thread. thanks for all the good pics. You look good in green.

Thanks Wildbilly, it was/is a fun project I can't wait to see Scott's finished product myself. I see your up in PA my wife is from Shamokin.

Scott, I think until you go to 3-color camo a big white star on each door would look cool.

All we can figure is they supported a bench or some such at one time. They were installed by the unit that last had the truck as far as I could tell, the cutting and welding that was done to install them looked like someone used a gas axe to hack the holes and then a car battery and coat hanger to weld the pipes in place. Scott bent the better part of a day on my industrial grinder just getting them to the point we could dress them up a bit. He figured he'd leave them since they are part of the trucks history.

Anyone else notice they are only on the driver's side?

Awww, my truck's little brother is coming right along.

Those holes confound everyone who look at them. They did a weird hack/spit weld for some chock block holders on mine. Seems that motor pool at Lewis had a guy with a wire feed and an attitude. Took me an hour or two to clean mine up with a grinder.

That thing is looking pretty good, can't wait to see it at the convoy in July.
