I used lusterless marine corps forest green. Paint code (34052)

Thank you Mullaney! It's been a work in progress. Using bedliner and then rolling the paint with a roller definitely gave a real nice coating. I have enough I might do another coat. Not sure yet. The truck stays in the shop so it's protected but I like the idea of having extra coats in the...

Truck is now painted. 3 gallons of paint and a case of rattle cans. Going to reassemble tomorrow and should be ready for a test drive. So far happy with the results.

I decided to paint most of the truck with a roller. Now that the body has bedliner, I thought using s roller works. It won't show roller or brush marks and I can layer it more thick than using a paint gun. I also didn't lose any paint to aersolizing and having to thin the paint. I used 1...

Thanks ohsmily. It was a nightmare. I initially wanted to pull the pan, would have been less stressful but overall I learned alot. Sometimes we are put in stressful situations and it helps us grow. This was one of those times.

I bought a Fiberglass hardtop. I do not recommend it. I had one for my deuce that fit like a glove. This one fits horrid. Dad helped me grind down the inside to help fit better but still not perfect but working on it. Almost ready to drill holes for the back of the cab. I also used a high...

I have had issues with the speedometer and the cable is broken. Speedo hasn't been accurate since 1600s and now it's off by more than 30 mph when cruising at 40mph by GPS. Instead of buying a new cable, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I bought an autometer GPS speedometer. I wasn't a...

Got alot done in last couple weeks. With the help of my girlfriend I got the herculiner applied to exterior of the truck. I purchased some despline axle caps for front axle, new axle boots. I just installed new led bulbs for the dash. Best part is retaining the low and high functions. Also...

Purchased a nice 3 panel switch with inline fuses and green light indicators. Gentlemen on Facebook makes them. Very nice quality. Can be either 24v or 12v. You can choose between a volt meter or USB charger as well. I went with the USB charger for cellphones, GPS, etc. Switch will run the...

Desiciant filter installed. Old one didn't come out easily. After 2 hours I got it free. What a pain. It would not release. Using a vice and compressing slightly did not help. Not sure why it was stuck because there was no rust. Regardless. I got it out, cleaned everything and reinstalled...

I am looking at replacing the original tires with new ones. I don't like some of the stress cracks from age. Has anyone replaced their tires on their m1061a1? If so what company did you go with.
