Update on the Chug. Finally starting to putting things together instead of taking things apart, kind of. Primer and paint got applied on the back side of the deuce today. Never used a spray gun until today, it was over 100 when the paint went on and the results where ok, but the paint wanted...

roady, The compressor is an Airman PDS1855 and the other part of the sand blaster is pictured below, I don't know anything about them other than they worked great. They are rented from Crosslands here in Oklahoma. Sorry I could not give you more info but I am new to sandblasting. Did some more...

Just some more pics of the sand blasting. Hopefully this upcoming week I will get the back of the deuce primed and painted and have one axle rebuilt with new brakes, bearings and all that good stuff then I will take the other axle apart and replace everything and maybe get those tires on it and...

Got some sand blasting done today. First time sand blasting. The goal was to clean up the back axles and frame and get it ready for priming and painting. Also waiting on some parts for the brakes on the back axle so the back axle was chained up to move the deuce out into the field for sand...

Congrats on your new toy!

Look at post #10. The heat is getting to you.

A few more pics from todays work. This is nothing you haven't seen before on SS. It takes time to get to the good stuff. When the axles are done sometime next week hopefully the tires will be ready to be put on. Paint should be in today or tomorrow and still not sure if there will be a sand...

More work on the deuce. My deuce was in civilian hands before I got it, so I think everything should be checked thoroughly and replace anything in question. Since I am going to be driving the deuce for a month or so at a time and in the mountains I wanted to check the bearings, brakes and do a...

I ended up going with Rapco paints. Red Oxide Zinc Phoshate Primer. Flat Black-for the frame, axles and leafsprings. The body will be flat tan. I thought about using a bed liner, thinned down so it would not be to thick. Even after power washing the axles and leaf springs 3 time I did not...

The CHUG Build I got the winch off today and took all the bumper and winch brackets off today, I will have a pile of stuff to get powder coated. Placed all my nuts and bolts in labeled zip lock bags because I can take anything apart but can't put it back together so I hope this helps in my...

Got air ride seats from a semi truck salvage yard. I don't care for the color (grey) so I will get some kind of seat covers. They were dirty so I power washed them and let them dry in the 100+ degree weather. They cleaned up really nicely. My tires arrived, I will have pictures of them in a day...

Started to clean and prep the back of the deuce for painting, I used Reeves degreaser then got after it with the power washer. When I finished I put more degreaser over every part of the chassis and axles, then scrubbed bad areas with a chisel and wire brush then back to the power washer. I...

Did a little work today on the deuce. Bed came off so I can work on the frame and all the good stuff that meets the road and took the outside tires off on the back. Will start prepping the frame for paint and evaluating what needs to be done on the back end of the deuce. I am not sure what...

I am in Norman, but I went to high school in Altus, and have been through Memphis several times going from Denver to Altus and back visiting my grandparents in Altus. There is a lot of room to rome down there. Talk to my grandmother in Altus the other day and she said they are burning up and...
