Hum...mount it on the headache rack...I like that idea. BTW, really nice looking truck!

With X-mas right around the corner, I've been asked to have my deuce in the local Christmas light parade. Has anyone come up with a way to run lights off the 24V connector? I'd like to hear how others have powered their lights. I'd also like to hear the best way to attach lights.

LOL!!! Forgetting your camera is one thing. Forgetting food is another...LOL :lol: :lol:

I'm game. Let's throw out some dates to see which one sticks. I'm good for just about any weekend between now and X-mas...except thanx giving.

RE: camp dirtbag Oh man!!! I'm green with envy. :D I missed you guys so bad I can't tell ya.

Spray gun and compressor.

I'm on my way sound from Simi Valley and who do I pass on the freeway? No other than Tyler and his gasser on his way to the rally. Lookin' good with the snazzy new convoy lights. These guys are gonna have a great time.

This yard is very selective about who goes there. The best thing to do is join us on a group trip there. I'm thinking it is gettin' close to another run.

I bought several different cans of Aervo paint to try to match my 383 tan CARC. I was unsuccessful. I ended up buying the real CARC. Others may had have better luck

Good luck guys and have a great trip. I'm stuck in Simi Valley but i'll be there in spirit. Take a bunch of pics and toast a couple for me.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: BigMike I kept track of progress by taking lots of pictures but I also should have kept a time log. I started this project around 1/1/07. I worked about 25 hrs a week on the truck just about every week. That would be roughly 1000 hours labor. Most time was...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: BigMike I figured Uncle sam will throw green parts on tan trucks all day long so I might as well build on the idea and take it up a notch.

Nice job on the video...thanks. I love the M342A2 following up the rear of the convoy. You gotta love the look of the dump truck.

Re: RE: Re: RE: BigMike Cranetruck, I thought I had a broken spring on the front axle because it looked like the truck was 6" lower on the passenger side than the driver's side. I couldn't find see any broken springs and once I got her on level ground, there was only about 1/2" difference...

Re: RE: Re: RE: BigMike She runs great. I need to get a descent ride under my belt to be sure. I also couldn't find a broken spring so I guess I'm just a bit paranoid. I'm looking forward to gettin' her out for some serious road work.

Re: RE: BigMike That would be a canvas water bag.

Well I am finally rounding the corner, or is it coroner :lol: , finishing my deuce. I finished painting the troop seats, the rear bumper markings and other final touches. I figured I'd take a few pics before she gets all dirty :roll: Here are a few pics from the para-military training...

They are tough to find on the left coast. I just bought a set from Builder77 and shipped them from Virginia to So. Cal. Lucky for me, my company ships a ton of stuff back and forth so I piggy backed them across America to me. I put my fiberglass sides and metal bows on yesterday along with a...

nopics I just had to do this!
