I’ve got to be more diligent in my posts. I spent the last year+ cleaning things up in the shop. Got a long ways towards being able to find stuff again. Also, after looking at the G506 for that time, I’ve decided to abandon the fire truck plan. I just don’t have enough to put one together. The water pump that was basically the heart of the fire truck is non repairable with my level of abilities. So, scrap all other plans and focus on building the truck back into a cargo. It was delivered as a cargo, minus the bed. Turning it back into cargo is doable. I’ll have to find a spare tire carrier, pintle hook, bumperettes and some other parts and pieces.
With all that, I’ve been removing the metal plates that are welded to the frame. First one took my over an hour. I’ve got it down to about 15 minutes to get the rest off. Still have 4 plates to go, then clean up the welds. After that, remove the cab for repairs and sandblast the frame and cab. The last two pics show the point where the aft cargo bed mounts used to be. I’m looking for replacements for them as well. No going to make any schedule out this time around, do what I can, when I can.
If anyone has any the parts I need, and would be interested in getting rid of, please let me know.
