There really wasn't that much overspray dust on the floor. I do plan on doing another coat though. I had 3 gallons of Behr Premium Plus. That was enough to do 1 coat on the cab, outside of the box, and most of the undercarriage parts. It's gonna need another coat or 2 before I put the stars and hood numbers on it. Speaking of reg numbers anyone have any suggestions? What about unit numbers for the bumpers? I think I am over-thinking the subject. Or maybe I'm over-thinking about over-thinking it? Should I just find an old pic of a truck in service and slightly change its numbers? Anyway, the show last weekend was awesome. Here's the sign that was displayed in front of my truck.
There wasn't a huge turnout in the military section. Mostly jeeps. But some really nice ones. One of the jeep owners was trying his best to sell me an M211 that he had sitting at home. But 8k is waaay too much for me. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I only paid $1000 for mine.
The show was at the Sloan Museum campus in Flint MI. They have a great Buick museum where they keep this Hellcat tank they restored a while back. Every now and then they fire this thing up and bring it outside.
Like you plowboy, I had the biggest truck there until this one showed up.
Thats a '55 5 ton replica of a Vietnam gun truck. The owner served on the actual one. He is a great guy. He let people climb up in the back of the truck and he had some great (and scary) stories.
I almost forgot! I keep meaning to ask you guys if anybody has a spare glove box door knob/latch that they'd be willing to part with. Mine was lost years ago and the glovebox door flops down when I hit 25 mph.
