My wife can sleep well again, her nightmare about the filler-door for the tank on the passenger side has found an end today thanks to sharecropper for his detailed explanation in his building thread...

A big step forward and again more space in the shop 🥳 Reunion after primered the Cab

I dont find a hole but i knew they must have rust behind. In 2003 had i welded the cabcorner first time on the driversite - so i spent him two new cabcorners to be save on it i had make sense to do that right site not in better condition

I didnt hear my wife so much curse in 35 years than this weekend by removing the old paint... The bad first work of the painter does he cover with a lot of filler Paint the NP208 for me was an easy job - still not dry paint as we leave the shop The old engine is also fixed for Transport

Me too but they are very expensive to maintain and also to drive of fuel consumption He cant deny his past also if he wear now blue paint 😅 inside all BW-Green:

We had several trainings in the past also what happen during drive and load slip or break through. This was always best expierence for people who think load safety is enough with a little wire on an edge

Thanks Mullany you are right - Safety first. It is build of 4 mm angle and flat steel will be bolt on the palett and fixed with tension belts. The German police are not amused by neglected load secure, for which, how could it be otherwise existing detailed special laws - Ladungssicherung in...

Both Tanks on their place, the easiest job in the tankissue. another job this weekend as we need a safe transportation for the old engine: build from scrap iron --- saved me 100 Dollar 🥳 🍻 for more spareparts on the truck

To say it like Butler James: Well we will do our very best! :)😅

Working on brake lines: Chevrolet is worse than ikeabana = swedish furniture plug art.... good that everything has truck dimensions, because the fumbling is still manageable. My wife has used the time and prepared the tanks for painting the aftermarket Tankholder is maybe something what...

We changed first time after 125000 Miles but was driven only roads no offroad, no lift and no other extras. But the steering and driving behaviour was at the point of storage bad. So we had done this better some "Miles" before. The result is he got now all bushing, bearings, nuts and bolts...

For all in rebuild 😇 🥳:driver:🤓

We wanted to be at this point two weeks ago.... my wife said now we can dance tango again in the workshop, we gained a lot of space back. Especially since we also put the old 6.2 back together in order not to have all individual parts lying around in the workshop. Now it goes on with the...

Rivets and Bolts on the frame and unter the truck will be covered by Underbody and cavety sealing which come as final step. But you are right it will not solve the problem of the in-sight parts. Just looking for door handles ... my wife only find new in chrome by several vendors... Window...

Someone is being particularly kind to us. Ordered on Monday and delivered from the USA on Thursday. I am speechless 😎- it depends very much on the part and where it is ordered. Well then it goes on with the axles after all also if still two parts on their way. ETA was like all of the order on...

Wow the fedex delivery man must be very stressed - he pushed the button "We were unable to deliver your package".... but found this while i open the door. Since they dont ring anymore as we have in this room a contactless storage, it is always good to control it. if we not had missed to order...

Leaf-Spring-Crime Time 2nd :cool: Finally two steps forward than the first delivery... it pass cologne and is now just 35km far away from me on the Fedex Truck. Hopefully they will not lost it on the last meters to my door 😇 maybe i should sent them a "Follow me" car 🤔 Really fast USA pickup...
