Removed the old seats and installed new Humvee seats in my Deuce.

Adjusted my peddles lower (for access with long legs), brother made rubber donuts on the peddles so when they are released the rubber donut is between peddle and bottom of floor. Also seals the hole in the floor where the peddle goes through.

Bolted on new (to me) bridge plate on the front

Attempted to recondition the military batteries in my 109, no luck. :cry:

Painted my boarding ladder to match the truck and modified the brackets to hold it more securely to the truck, without having to use rope. Got my PA/Stereo switch fixed. Adjusted the orientation of my wipers so that at rest the truck has a more aggressive look. About to do some touch up work on the hood paint and diagnose why my CB isn't receiving signal.

I use mine in the traditional way but I've noticed that it tends to scratch the truck's paint. My To-Do list includes putting trimmed rubber inside the bracket to minimize that. You might want to consider it as well.

In your design, a piece of snug fitting bicycle inner tube slid over the part that rests on the tailgate might be useful. I've done that with several things keeping it tight enough to need some light lubricant to slide it on.

Nicely done.

Replaced a leaking wheel cylinder on the right intermediate axle. Emptied a couple more rattle cans on her. Replaced the lenses on the tail lights. Replaced a two amber reflectors and two red reflectors. Shot some PB Blaster on the door hinges so I can get in/out easier.

One step closer. I was getting a good pace going, but then it started to rain, so I had to put it back in the garage...
Looks outstanding! That's exactly what I want my deuces to look like. One of these days I'll get around to painting them. The mechanical stuff is taking up all my time and money.

Smokewagon, your truck looks great. I like the rear wheels painted like they are. I have to say, I think 24087 is the best color for the M35s.
