Oh I see. Thou shalt never publicly criticize the help. Okay for them, not for you. Gotcha.

You may want to replace them with zinc plated bolts and nylon (insert) lock nuts. Bolts and nuts are cheap, rusty ones are a PITA and a future speed bump for maintenance. Every time I pull a part off the Deuce, it gets new bolts with a light coating of 'Never seize' (if rusty, heads are worn...

Yes, I agree. As to why the posts go unanswered, just check some moderators behavior and you'll see why. As for me, I'm not one to be intimidated by the 'rotten toothed alligators' that cruise this swamp, nor should anyone else.

Okay, here's my take. When you're dealing with a unibody, rust through is serious if you can't get replacement panels. Yeah, it's an M-151. But don't fool yourself if you think you don't have to repair those body panels because they provide rigidity to the entire vehicle, they're not there for...

Which exactly the point of the post. Happy to see someone else that sees the value of sharing information. Here's something to consider for those less inclined to mind their manners when information is shared, say 'thanks' and be on your way. Some of the folks who actually find something out...

Yeah, you sure didn't have it, did you?

Did Brutus listen?

Oh gawd. I laughed when I read your post. Yup, just when you think everything is going to get better and you want to do something simple..... Well, you're not alone Kimosabe! Seems that notion of 'no problem, it's a simple task' is the jinx!

Removed the windshield glass frames, scraped light rust, inspected the wiper motors (one bad), masked and repainted the frames, tossed the 1/2" 10-32 steel rusted screws for some nice stainless 1/2" 10-32 screws and WHAT A MONUMENTAL PAIN IN THE ASS to remount! Had to use a cardboard apple box...

Nice. Who the **** doesn't like seeing a Deuce? Especially at a car show. :mrgreen:

Good source for the official stuff, so use it if you want. Lots of suggested schemes out there, but this is a good site to get your act together on numbers and colors. I found it useful in getting the right colors down for my rig, perhaps you will too...

Nice. What a Dad! Wish my old man had a Deuce when I was a kid to go camping in. Smiles all around!

Nice! Thanks for posting the pics. Your truck looks like a big ol' boat in dry dock! The effort will be worth it, a nice chance to spray some decent rust inhibitor on that steel skin. Keep at it brother, it's a labor of love.

HAHAHAHAHA Ummm, I think that particular vehicle may have been modified by those bored window lickin' Rat Finks over in Motor-T.
