Throwing my name in the hat! Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the kind words, and it’s a Fine Truck! You started with a very nice example, that’s what made my job easier.

Thank you sir.

Much obliged!

Welp. That about wraps up paint work… until @patracy gets a hard top for it…

Much Obliged! Me and @patracy got the grill, turn signal guards, headlight buckets, ect in this evening, so when the camoing begins it’ll all blend together nicely on all the parts… I’ll get those pictures up soon as I get the brown and black layed on!

Well, got most of the 383 down. Had a few hiccups I had to iron out, but it’s looking a lot better! Maybe in the next day or so, after some dry time(this stuff is drying fairly fast) before our warm weather leaves, I’ll get the brown and black on.

@patracy has a nice solid truck.. hopefully in the next couple of days(if the weather will cooperate with me) I’ll get the 383 on it.

Tip of the day: Dustless blasting is awesome. The down side it you have to pressure wash and blow out(I used a leaf blower) every single nook and cranny as the sand gets everywhere. Some places, I have no idea how it got there. Not that I’ve got most of the sand out of the areas for paint, maybe...

One step at a time.. let’s make sure I get this project right…😁

Well @patracy ‘s truck is in my possession.. guess as weather allows, I’ll see what I can do to the old girl… a couple before pictures to start with…

I don’t know about magic, but I’ll see what I can do. From what I seen, you’ve got a nice solid base to start with, and that makes my part in this project easier!

Throwing my name in the hat!

You gonna put the tractor in 383, or leave it yellow? Or did the navy even have it any other color than yellow?

Throwing my name in the hat! Thanks shoptrigger.com for the sponsorship!

I don’t know much on the M38s either, but I will say $4k seems high. Here in GA I watched a complete 1952 M38 with winter top, in better shape body wise and non running go for $1500 on FB market. But that’s just my opinion, based on things I’ve seen recent. I myself have spent all my time...

Congratulations @patracy and Smokey on MV of month!

I should have already campaigned by now for my friend @patracy, so forgive me for being a little late to the party. I’d like to encourage you all to vote for “Smokey”. He ran a tight race last month, and not only would it thrill Andrew to win this month, but it would also thrill me after the...

@patracy can probably tell more, but the Tach in his M1008 says Diesel on the face(like you have pictured), and is band clamped to the passenger side alternator housing. It reads off the alternator, I’m guessing similar to how a reluctor wheel works. How it was calibrated, he’d have to answer that.

I’m familiar with Imron brand stuff. Should hold up to whatever you throw at it. Looks like you got a good start on reviving the old truck. I’ll be following for the finished product.
