About done with this level time to move upstairs but still waiting on a 1 1/4" die from JD2

Put the finishing touches on this air and propane system. I will now be able to preheat my work without lugging a propane bottle around. Or use compressed air for inflating, blowing debris and air tools. Also included an air horn operated by an old style pull cord.

I used airsoft pellets in a couple sets of tires on a truck with 37s. They worked well through the lives of both sets.

Mine has a Duramax conversion and it has really impressed me as to how much power and how well it handles. Even with all the weight, it feels like I'm driving a race truck. Really fun to drive.

Managed to get the compressor box, hose reel and tank mounted this weekend. Need to finish a propane bottle mount then plumbing and wiring hopefully this coming weekend.

How about a pic? Sounds like it could be repaired with some tig welding

Coolest dad award right here(y)(y)

Oh those are too cool, I'm gonna need at least one.

Appreciate all the kind words. Hope to have some more progress to share soon.

Made this small electric panel for the back. It has 110v power for my grinders and quick connects wired to the welding power. I really like the look of solid rivets and hope to find more places to use them on the truck.

Found this cool ammo box I cut down and will use to house a new dual compressor setup.

Those first gen Plab B doors were horrible. The rv windows were a terrible idea. When open, the tint doubles and you cant see the mirror. Plus you can't comfortably put your arm out. Not than theres much in the way of comfort in one of these trucks. But I tried to make it nice with some seats...

Been through several 1 ton trucks including this latest one and after using my bobbed M35A3 on some pipeline work I am convinced that military trucks are the way to go for this line of work. The civilian trucks now are $85k and up and I just don't think they are built tough enough so I use that...

The lead reels extend out on actuators. Those ammo tubes store arc rods. The cooler rolls out to the side so I don't have to climb up to get a cold drink. Thats a 3/8" thick work table in back over the toolbox which I made to hold my tools as pictured. I put that dual compressor setup together...
