I made a trip out to White Owl and bought all the cover supports. I had enquirer about a cargo cover on the phone but he said they were out of them. While I dug through the stacks of supports, I asked the guy helping if they had any tops. He said we could look but he didn’t think so. We found 2...
Agreed! Of the many sites I’m a member of, SS is the best. Rarely do you see the keyboard morons who go out of their way to insult or belittle others for no reason.
I have a friend that does boat tops and upholstery but the good fabric is rather expensive. I’ll have him price out just a bikini style top. I read on down and really like the white top/tarp idea from Texas50.
I'd like to find a used canvas cargo cover for the M35. Does anyone have one they would sell and ship? I dont think the vinyl covers would look the part on my old girl. Honestly, with it being Strata blue, I'm not sure any of them will look good but I want it for a parade cover
here’s 2 videos of the truck running.
Top speed run!
Walk around
This one was right after I got it running. You can see it’s not even been cleaned up and it’s still on the boat tank
I just saw your replay this morning. I’ll see what I can do on some video clips. I’m not sure how to upload them. Here’s 2 engine shots right after I got it.
I’ll try that but I doubt it will work. Honestly, we do go to some of the local cruise ins on occasion but we’re always in my 72 K5 Blazer with the top down. Maybe next time we can take the deuce and see how that goes.
Thank you sir! I’m rather fond of the old girl and thought those 3 were perfect for anyone stuck behind me. I really wanted a multi fuel but the gasser has a beautiful sound that’s all her own. I’m trying to convince my wife we need a bobbed A2 to park beside it.
I added some yellow decals to the doors and tailgate for the “correct” ish Air Force markings. Also some additional stickers in white that I had made just for Ole Blue.
I’ve read many of the old Denton posts. I’ll be watching and hoping the event isn’t canceled as well. I would LOVE to take Ole Blue but I’m not sure it’s ready for the roughly 230 mile trip. Well, maybe we’re both not ready to go together at least. Unfortunately I don’t foresee our...
I the previous video he said he could get another one (truck) for $300 unless I misunderstood him. I'd love to know where so he doesn't destroy that one too.
Dash mount came yesterday and I got it installed today. I’m not real happy with the lower placement even though I measured it out by the instructions. I may move the front floor mount behind the back one.
I found a decent Jerry can with a 1951 date code. Cleaned it up and gave it a decent coat of Strata blue. Mounted the freshly painted can mount and the new strap and then finally put the can in place. One more piece to the puzzle! It really makes me want to paint the whole truck. I also got the...
Ole Blue is fairly quiet with the insulated hard top. It's also a gasser so it really doesn't compare to the multi fuel engines. :) I have a K5 Blazer thats way quieter with the hard top than the soft but again, kinda apples and oranges.
Thanks guys. I had not checked back for a few days. I’ve been finishing a kitchen remodel. My Christmas present to myself “needed” a rifle mount. It’s not exactly period correct but close enough.
