I got the troop seats back together. Thanks to the TM, new wood slats to replace the broken ones and all new hardware it should last a long time.

Those are looking real good. And a nice paint job all around, too.

Thanks. I ran out of rapco 383 so I painted the rest with one of the rustoleum camo green colors. It's a bit darker but it doesn't look to bad.

Is your camping gear going to fit in there with the seats or are they easily removable?I got the troop seats back together. Thanks to the TM, new wood slats to replace the broken ones and all new hardware it should last a long time.

I am in the same boat as you. I really want to swap out tires and be done with it but with retirement and relocating my family, they are going to have to wait a bit. This truck is looking how I envisioned it and more importantly, it's doing all the tasks I had hoped it would. Thanks so much for the compliments.

I'm digging in and replacing the water pump and timing cover gaskets. Also got a new balancer since the old one is looking a bit dried out. Had to take a break to go borrow a puller.

I just used 1 large washer on each side. Worked just fine.

They fold up and are easily removable.

At 65 my 4.56 geared cucv with 33 inch tires spins at 3k,70mph it's at 34k and at my top speed of 83 mph it was at 4k.it sees 70mph on a daily basis. I use a GPS for my speedometer.

Adjustability is good, as long as it doesn't lose the proper adjustment. As long as the proper preload is there (the single washer in mine) it won't need any adjustment for a long long time.

Been pretty busy lately, sorting out starting issues. fried glow plug card 20 year old solenoid and bad glow plugs. Got a new card a few weeks ago new solenoid and did the switch to AC60s love it now. Also did the doghead relay fix, seems to start a little better than before, gotta love the clack it makes. have made quite a list thanks to this site. I really want to put some more gauges in my truck, found this picture on here and I like the setup.
