I'm kinda confused too. I'll talk to him again in the next week, get some pics. Maybe I can get him down 9 or 10k! He said there is a lot of brush growing around it.
I just spoke to Roger, the owner. He wants $12,500. Remember we could have had it for $4,500 when he first dragged it home 20 yrs ago? He says it only has 108 hours on it. I remember he had it on the river and the DNR came down on him for the loud exhaust and lack of registration.
While I was contemplating my fender issue, I got side tracked and started the Receiver hitch. I Need to get the gussets in and safety chain loops next. Found a #2 coil spring trap and made a hitch cover. I have the urge to push on the pan so I welded the jaws open! 8-)
The Pintle hole took me...
2 fenders, gas can bracket, running boards, toolbox and an arm full of misc small pieces $50.00, and they are clean! I'll post pics tonight. Did find some extra holes along the lip of one fender. Maybe some filler will take care of them.
Guy is also doing 11 rims for $15.00 each including...
The soda blaster called today. My front fenders are done. The only place I had rust on the truck was the bottom of the fenders by the running board and the front of the fenders by the big rivits. I have another set I will use for patch material after work tonight. It will be nice to have clean...
I agree, it was a good time. We only attended Saturday, but we are all fired up for next year. Unfortunately there was only 1 GMC deuce in attendance. I'll make sure there is another one there next year! Swap meet was great, I spent everything I had. I found everything I needed that is holding...
hndrsonj, I picked up your tailgate tonight. I just about fell over when I saw brand new tires on your stubby little dumper. You don't mind if the rims are red when you get here do you? (At least they would match the tow bar):-P
Seriously, If you want to come around for a week or so in Sept...
Thanks for the story. I'm taking all the red paint off for that very reason. I got the cab done this morning and primed it. It was 95 and too sunny, the primer dried before it would feather. I "test" painted a little spot to see how it looks and it ain't good. That red shows up every sanding...
I took Gunfreak25's advice on the cowl gasket. It trimmed up very nicely with a sharp putty knife. The red paint peels right off. Later I was able to get in the corner with a DA sander to get the paint off. I couple good coats of primer and some caulk and I'll be happy. Thanks for the guidance.
The impact wrenching on the cab was starting to get out of control. I set them up to remove some wheels. I figured that wear them down a little. I cracked the nuts loose and let them go. It was a good lesson on jackstands, wheelchocks, and shop safety. They let the air down on the tires with a...
