Thread: Newest pics..

  1. #1

    Default Newest pics..

    Im getting so anxious but getting depressed at the same time. Truck ran great yesterday, but today its rough idle and just not in the mood to drive..but did get it to 45 on the nose and death wobble kicked in. Going to try to rotate and add a steering stablizer. Hopefully Ill be able to get some tires from gimpy soon.

    Well either way. It appears that my front tires are leaning out I can tear apart a regular king pin 60 but never done these and IM just tired of working on it EVERY weekend instead of trying to register it and drive it around. Ive been putting in a lot of money and hours and still doesnt feel like Ive gotten as far as Ive spent. Viperman comes in and buys one and allready has it tagged and driving around town, that makes me sad. I want mine shocking the hoity toity snobs around here too.

    Either way. here are some pics..Ill quit ing and moaning.

    I searched HIGH/LOW for cab corners without luck.
    Sooooooooo, I talked a buddy at work into making them for me...He retired from a body shop (20yrs) and came to work for us. He thought it would be fun to make some body parts for a mil truck.

    Know the feeling Southern, but sometimes a little break from the truck can be good. I find that if I stay on a project for too long I start getting burnt and it shortens my patience.

    Sounds like you aren't too far at all now. Just working out the "bugs"

    I still have a few months work ahead of me, so I envy your progress!

    Really starting to take shape. The soft top looks much better than the homemade hard top that was on it. good luck with it. Next you need to find some troop seat for the back.

    truck looks great and i agree with beast get some troop seats they change the attitude of the truck... if you can't find a set of 715 troop seats you can cut down a set from a M35

    they are set from the factory with positive camber... unless something is bent or worn out... post a pic or measurement of what you have
