@cucvrus can you tell what you need to know from these photos. It's raining so I just snapped some frame rail pics real quick.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I plan to once I get some more diesel in. It was running real ruff last night because of the air still in the system. I will post one this afternoon though. I can't wait till I get the Trans and transfer case back in. That will be an exciting video for me. First time moving under it's own power since 2017.Post a "She's Alive" video !!
.I just realized I've never put a video on here. Do I just upload to a popular video platform then share the link?
Engine has always been strong. The odometer got reset when I was doing some Dash work but it said 44,595 miles when I got it. I just need to replace that old harmonic balancer and the engine should be pretty cherry.Nice! Sounds like she is running fine !!

Check out this thread. I used a strip of 12-gauge galvanneal steel and welded it all the way across the top of the gate. I stich welded it, and it made the gate tough again. Actually, tougher than when it was new. Check out the pus case gate I started out with and done some low budget repairs on and returned it to a decent useable gate again. I rebuilt several gates that were hopeless. GM gate shells were always expensive, and they haven't made any in 10 + years. I still have 2 new pick-up gates and K5 gates in the GM boxes. I prefer the challenge of rebuilding things. Always did. anyone can buy new stuff. The challenge is rebuilding and hand crafting things from other junk. Good Luck. I will have an update on the deal. Let me know what else you need I want to make another deal. How do your rear window glass guides look? That brush seal I added to mine as an awesome addition. I had a rubber seal on the inside that would collapse over the edge of the glass when the window was down.
I'm not really sure what the tracks look like I'll have to pull the cover off and see. I have not pulled the bolts out of the top plates yet. I'll go see if they will pop out real quick.Have you had the chance to get the bolts out of the spring top plates. That is a 1 1/8" bolt and you will need the bolts and all 4 of the flat washers. 2 flat washers on each side. One flat washer against the bolt head back side and the other flat washer goes from the sway bar to the top clamping plate. I have the rubbers out of this sway bar so you will need the Energy Suspension sway bar kit. View attachment 878422 These are the sway bar brackets. View attachment 878423You will need 4 new 7/16" bolts and nuts to hold them to the frame. That will be a 5/8" hex head bolt with an 11/16" nut. Get the correct size. I see them attached with 3/8" bolts. That is incorrect. Do it right. OK? PM me the address again and I will get these parts out to you. Take Care. I also have the brush seal and I was wanting to know what your window tracks look like.
Sometimes you need a stronger impact. Breaking a bolt that size would be a feat. A good shallow impact socket attached to a strong impact will get the job done. If you use a chrome socket you have lost more than half the effect of the strong impact. Add a deep socket even less and an extension it keeps going down. The ball swivel takes a lot of the torque out of the impact. Good thing you got it off. Give me a few days and I will get the package off to you.@cucvrus that 2nd bolt was not easy my friend. I was wondering if the bolt or my impact was going to give first. Luckily it was the bolt.View attachment 878499
Yeah I have an impact that does 675ft lbs in reverse. I also had a shallow impact socket. That ball swivel was what was killing me on that venture. It was unfortunately necessary to get onto the bolt though.Sometimes you need a stronger impact. Breaking a bolt that size would be a feat.
