Thanks, Let me know what I owe you for them.

Depends on how rusted the bolts are. All the ones along the cab came out easy, the ones on the front that have the springs on them didn't want to come off. So since I was replacing the fenders I just cut through the bolts with a torch. Like LTR said the rest of the pain is unbolting the rest...

Well I painted the cab and front half of the frame yesturday evening. Once it cures I start to remount the fenders and hood and things. I'll be cutting things tight for my Thanksgiving deadline but I should make it. Hopefully the new bed comes back from the sand blaster in the next few days...

That's it just rub it in. :P Mine will no longer have any left in a few days. New fenders, bed, and the rust repair I just did should take carre of all of it. :lol:

Started to pull off the front sheet metal to get it ready for paint. Rust repair patches welded in under the door on both side. Tomorrows project will be to grind down the welds and prep the areas for primer. While removing the front fender I found that some dumba$$ welded the fender to the...

Nope, his name is Lyle VanWert.

I sent you a PM to see if you had found some.

Yep, I have even caught a few stand at attention salutes from older vets as I pass them. It makes you feel good that they still have a love of these big boys. either that or they are thinking thank god my back isn't riding around in one of those things anymore. :roll:

Nope I don't believe he had any other deuce parts there. He was mainly into Dodges, both WC & M series. He was a super nice guy and must of had 20 military vehicles at the barn. And from the sounds of things he must have another large group of vehicles at his house also. I found the bed and...

Thanks! [thumbzup]

Tuesday 10/25 I went across state here in Michigan to pick up the new bed for my M35 to replace the current one that is beat to hell and back. The PO use to haul logs with my truck and beat the bed hard. So I found a decent replacement bed with troop seats for $200 here in Michigan. The wood...

Painting is the easy part, it's the prep work that makes the difference in a paint job. A good clean prep work makes the paint go on trouble free.

I was also a little green today. There was a light wind blowing towards me that helped coat me also with a light dusting of overspray.

Sounds like it was a good road trip. Glad you made it home at the end of a long day of driving.

Well I got the back half of the frame and the dump lift painted today. I sand blasted off the heavy flakes and scale then primed and painted it all 24087 OD green. I pick up my new bed on tuesday and hope to get that cleaned up and painted within the next 2 weeks so that I can get it mounted...

Here is a thread with some pics of the dump set up that was under my deuce when I bought it last month. It's a Venco VG520 lift that I'm sure was swapped out of a dump truck. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3005

stencils Thanks for the offer, but I have my own vynal cutter and have been making all of my own markings. I did all the markings on my M715 and the quick set that I made for the deuce the day I picked it up.

I plan on taking lots of pictures and documenting everything as I go along like I did last year when I restored my 67' M715. http://www.davidallenracing.com/M715.htm

Friday was the start of restoration on the M35a2 I bought last month. After aquirring some new parts from various venders, I'm ready to get started. The first was to paint the new front fenders I bought from Memphis Equip. Memphis did a great job of preping these fenders so that once I got...

Most of it depends what type of paint job you want on your truck. A truck that has been field repainted would have sloppy applied stencils with overspray. A factory paint job would have nice clean lines with no overspray. Also the Army started to use decals in the late 60's to mark thier...
