I finally got the rear Jerry can brackets off, used an electric impact but it was still tough, one bolt even broke instead of coming loose. Unfortunately I'll have to figure out a way to get the right mudflap straight. I'm also not super crazy about the holes left in the mudflaps. I also...

This is a dumb question I guess, but do you guys think I should dress up the terrible looking welds on the bed sides and the cab under the doors? They didn't even scrape the weld spatter off... terrible workmanship. It's also too late now but I am concerned about the paint dust getting all in...

Sorry about that, it's a Deuce M35A2.

I noticed this plate is bulging out between the bolts, the left one is almost perfectly straight. What's causing this, rust between the frame and the plate maybe? Thanks Left side

This is going incredibly slower than I had envisioned, I'm on vacation all week and thought could have it ready to paint by the weekend, but I've barely done anything. Let me ask you this...how does this look compared to when you guys prep a tuck for painting? I'm going to have to concentrate...

Ok so here is a quick update. The coal slag does seem to work removing rust but isn't very good at removing paint. But my compressor is also only a 25gal. one with a regulator or whatever the part that kicks it on not working correctly. Also I can only operate the gun a few seconds before water...

Ok thanks, I'm going to try this coal from Rural King. It's only $6.99 for 50 lbs. MUCH cheaper than anything at harbor freight.

I had a similar issue with the washer, except I tore it up but found an o ring at Rural King that seemed to work. Here is the rather long thread that has some helpful replies. [URL="http://https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?181857-Sludge-in-bottom-of-filter-normal"]

That's why I'm changing to spin on filters ASAP. I just changed those too myself and observed the same thing. I THINK/ HOPE that under the pressure of the spring when it's all back together the cork actually contracts the cup instead of the metal part, and hopefully the cork will swell some...

Sorry, what I should have said is orbital. I was referring to dual action, and they do have a polisher listed that way and I believe it's another way to say orbital, but orbital is more common, I think. Technically I probably should have said RO for random orbital, but I don't think I've ever...

Let me ask you guys this , they have several different types of blasting media, since I'm doing this in the yard/ driveway I don't want anything too hazardous. They have big bags of baking soda, glass beads and black aluminum oxide. The glass sounds extremely hazardous, which is safer that will...

When I first got the truck I sanded/ground off a few small places and was wearing the N95 particle mask, probably wasn't adequate. Last night I found a nice respirator mask at Lowe's a little nicer than this one with an exhaust valve.So will use it for everything involved. I know a lot of...

Ok, thanks. I forgot I was going to try the small needle gun at harbor freight, but a mini sandblaster sounds like a great idea for the hard to reach things like axle bolts and hinges etc. Thank you! Here's one for $20 , Perfect!

Hey guys I have to switch gears from mechanical to paint because of the weather. I intend to scrape off the loose peeling paint and then feather the edges in the best I can with an electric DA then put some rust oleum primer on the places. For the majority of areas where the CARC is still stuck...

That data plate looks brand new compared to mine. Does anybody sell the data plate separately? I can only find it as part of a set. Do they make an exact copy of mine, the ones I found don't look the same? Thanks ​Edit: After looking at the plate closer I noticed it says MFD BY General...

Ok thank you, I had a feeling the big Tonka trucks might have been a factor, anyhow it's a catchy handle. I'm definitely a convert to the spin on crowd and looking forward to adding the secondaries and oil spin on kits in the near future. First I have to buy some windshields though, and a...

OK thanks Rusty, do you know who sells the one I need? I have seen that hose at the regular places Big Mike's etc. However they look like the same laminate type hose I have now. Thanks.

You guys are making me a little nervous with all this talk about turbo shrapnel destroying the engine, so let me ask a dumb question. Can some kind of screen be installed to catch any flying debris? Also please tell me if there is anything noticeably wrong with my turbo. Is the turbo leaking...

It looks great, I may be wrong about this but couldn't you just cut them down to the size you need?
