Steelsoldiers’ BIG M756A2 Project!

Got the radiator back from the shop a week or so ago. It’s not the prettiest repair, but it’s fixed. On Friday, I got the new water pump installed, put on some new radiator hoses, and installed all new belts. After that, I got my oldest son (the shooter) to help me lift the radiator up and slide it into place. The best part was trying to get the lower hose on and reinstalling the fan hardware. Finally, we topped off the coolant and took it for a drive. No leaks!

The 756A2 is finally getting some love! I got the replacement cab, fenders, and other miscellaneous parts loaded in the back last night. It’s heading to a local shop that will sandblast the whole thing and put a coat of primer on it. After that, it’s going to a local fab shop to get some repairs done on the bed. I am going to have them build some new toolboxes, repair the bed frame, install new stake pockets, and repair the stiff leg framework. I’ll keep y’all posted!
