I hope you realize that your truck will eventually end up in a museum! It looks better than any new truck looked like from the Kaiser Jeep factory. Very, very nice.
great build thread i just spent the last hour looking through the whole thing the truck is looking amazing. Can you post some close up pictures of the battery box hinges on the front of the battery box. the fire department that had my truck used some small gate hinges on the front of my box and it looks terrible and i cannot find any pictures to help me find what i need
Dave, Where have you been?
It's time for more pictures.:)

Hi all, I'm at work right now. Finally got the doors back from the painter. They look good. Almost ready to send the bed and tailgate out.
Kinda took a hiatus from working. It's like deathly hot here and well, I was laid up for awhile. I went down on my Harley back in June up in Maryland and was O.O.C. for awhile. Nothing too serious, just some broken and cracked ribs, bruised sternum, concussion, dislocated shoulders and a lot of black and blues. I'm back to almost 100%. Take more than that to put this old dumb Pollock out. Too bad the 06' Electraglide isn't. It was a total. From what I understand from witnesses, it was a spectacular craptastic crash. Me? I didn't see too much, just road, sky, grass, sky, grass, sky and then a 800 pound sun glo blue monster landing on top of me :-( After that, the workshop/garage decided to need a new roof. I swear I can't win.
Any how, my question is- did any one ever solve the door gasket supplier issue out? I'm ready to install the gaskets so I can get the doors hung. This is the door jamb area wrap around gasket that origionaly was metal backed and had push pin attachments.
Thanks and hoping you all are having a fun, safe summer.
Dave-
Wow Dave, sorry to hear about your misfortunes this summer.
Glad that you are OK.
I never did find a real solution for the early type weather stripping, that fastened around the inner part of the doors.
At this time, that is the only unfinished part of my truck.
If it weren't for the holes showing, I really wouldn't miss the weather stripping.:rolleyes:
Glad to hear your ok. The truck looks amazing!
Dave, sorry to hear about your misfortune with the scooter. I have not ridden for years and I can't say that I really miss it... except for riding a dirt bike and not going crazy. I am 68 now.
Your truck looks great and I admire your tenacity (today's 75ยข word :rolleyes:) and attention to detail. It looks great and I would love to see your truck in person one day.
Thanks Dan. To be honest, it it wasn't for you all on here, I wouldn't have the attention to detail to restore it honestly. I originally wanted to slap it together and drive the wheels off of it :-)
