My first multifuel?

.
Neat Idea... Never even considered Talc before.
Be careful though because the lawyers are after people who manufacture that stuff.

Time to stock up - never know when you're going to need it to preserve rubber, or eat it, or something

I picked up this support in a very bad condition, after sandblasting it is like new.
For the steering box of the truck it will be practical.

You remember this autonomous multifunction, I adapted a regulator to it.
At Diesel it provides me with 24V on NATO plug, with its compressor I can now adapt any kind of tool in particular Paint guns.

The longer days and the dry weather, I finished sanding on the front of the truck.

Fifty pounds of automotive grease and weapons.

Olive Drab first layer.
I'm going to start going up for a second veil of paint.

 

[foxtrot]

I'm eating it tomorrow.
I am ready to install the cab.
I still can't find the handbrake cable, new or used.

I still can't find the handbrake cable, new or used.

Are you able to make one? I'm a little surprised a surplus dealer in the US doesn't have one. What about one off one of the Kia 5-tons, if they have them?

 

[foxtrot]

Suddenly, my workshop will seem empty to me.

 

[Darylfraser]

I can’t wait to see this all back together, great job!

 

[SCM35A2]

Progress looks awesome!

 

[foxtrot]

Word of the day, damage nothing without forcing.

 

[US6x4]

Must be very exciting and satisfying to see all the large panel assemblies go back together. It's like building a toy model!

[GopherHill]

You're doing a wonderful job. You have reason to be proud of your work.

 

[SCSG-G4]

At the rate you are going, when you finish, your truck will be BETTER than brand new!

 

[Darylfraser]

This is really an enjoyable build to watch, great work!

 

[foxtrot]

Everything is stuck, nothing turns.

 

[US6x4]

I was just there a month ago with my level wind with the same problems. With a rubber glove I was able to rotate the wheels a tiny amount back and forth and exercise them while greasing. Eventually they worked loose and now spin with ease. No disassembly of the wheels was necessary on mine.

Front winch roller assembly.

Front winch roller assembly.

Those bearings are in hard shape. You’re doing impressive work!

 

[foxtrot]

I will need a new bottle of oxygen to move the wheel support, it's not for today.
Plan B of the day a first coat of paint on the bumper, a wing, the brush guard etc...

For this hardware, four steps.
- Sandblasting before dismantling.
- Phosphating bath.
- Sandblasting in box in the sieve.
- Brushing of the thread.
