Phil came over yesterday and welded my bed together for me. Also a picture of my black painted U bolts.

Good progress for this being an outside project. I think you are well on the raod to having an Aberdeen bobber.

I doubt you'll see it at aberdeen this year. I've still got to find a bunch of parts for power steering and do the engine swap, then sandblast and paint the truck.

How long is your bed now?

Union Bridge, just south of Taneytown. I may need a hand when we remove my cab for stripping/paint. Thanks for the offer.

I'm down by Mount Airy. Count me in too if you need an extra set of hands.

FINALLY got back to wrenching on this thing! Cab is now off, motor and trans is completely ready to come out, and the other motor and trans in the other deuce is completely ready to come out. Also, not pictured, I got the rear end of the frame completely primed and I started working on painting it.

Hopefully on Saturday the 13th (right after the monthly SS breakfast) we'll be swapping motors and lifting other stuff around with Robert's wrecker. It should be a good time. Please come out and help us that day!!

 

[Jump Start]

Keep us posted with plenty of pics I may help bob one in the future.

 

[juddspaintballs]

Yep, check Robert's post on it in the upcoming events section

How far back did you move the rear axle?

 

[juddspaintballs]

I haven't touched this truck in a while...

But, since the last update Robert and Phil came over and we swapped motors with the other deuce. I blasted the entire exterior of my cab and today I was able to shoot some paint on it and the hood since the temps got up to 70. I still need to blast the interior of the cab, but that is getting bedliner so it's not as temperature specific. At this point, I'm beginning to put stuff back together!

Oh yea, I also picked up a 100 gallon aluminum saddle tank from a freightliner that I'm going to put in the front of the bed from side to side for fuel. It's so purdy, but I might have to paint it tan or black too...

 

[juddspaintballs]

I will be there

 

[juddspaintballs]

Been a while. Slowly working still...

 

[Kohburn]

did you decide on 10 bolt adapters vs recentering the hemtt wheels?

 

[juddspaintballs]

I will be doing 10 bolt adapters, but not anytime soon. I'll probably just run stock rims with some 395's I have in the basement for a while.

Any new updates?
