Biggest mistake

Bruce, I hate working on this truck knowing I passed it up. I made a big mistake!



I checked the passenger rear view mirror and it was tight. Thanks.

David takes his time and does things right. I cannot wait to get this on Saturday. I am tempted to see what he can do with a deuce that is in better starting shape than this truck was.

Today is recovery day. As soqn as my son wakes up and rides me to David's house, the 1028 is coming home.

Put a commo shelter in it and it will look perfect... Nice job and painting cammo is not difficult it is just getting the right amount of overspray that makes it hard... Good job on the truck!

I am a happy camper. We are having monsoon like rains today but these trucks look great. O need to get this and my other trucks under cover. I stopped at the flea market on the way home to get some jerky and had a couple of guys stop and check her out in pouring rain. It was a great running and clean truck to start with, now its looks as good as it runs. My son put in his request for David to do a restoration on his M1009. I will take some detailed photos of the truck this week.

The rain today was really annoying. I was trying to put down a few yards of mulch, but I kept getting dumped on. I don't mind working in the rain, but the random sideways blowing monsoon stuff got old real quick.

Very nice work, thanks form the many tips in the thread. Look forward to seeing it at Aberdeen. Leo

So how does it drives Atankersdad? What a beautiful truck!

 

[atankersdad]

This is a very tight truck. No front end wandering. It starts right up with a slight bump of the key. I need to get the custom hitch installed now so I can pull my car trailer. Honestly, there is very little left to do to this truck. It is like a brand new truck.. Now watch me blow the 6.2 after saying that. She is Aberdeen ready.

Hey Dudley, Dave did an amazing job on your 1028. Saw it when I dropped my rig off. Have fun with it!!

 

[atankersdad]

Thanks Combatmedic. You have real nice M1009. I wished I could have kept the m1009 but I have too many trucks. My wife is starting to ask questions. It was not bad until I parked a M109 w/w on 11x20s thatblack and has ashiney silver box on it. Yes a silver box. It could qualify as one UFT, if it did not run as good as an LDS....That was the straw that broke the camels back in this household. I did ask if she liked the yellow M62 more than the M109 from mars. She just shook her head...

 

[combatmech]

I hear you Dudley, I would like another truck/car of some kind....But my wallet and GF have other ideas. A decent CUCV2 would be nice..... I'm bummed that I wont be around for Amberdeen....Maybe next year.
