Got the camo on today. Im happy with it. Still needs to dry completely so the color evens out. Now the interior paint and seats.

My donor cab for the back doors looked like that ** the mop look}

Before shipping. Ask around in your area for a drive shaft shop near you. Like I said a 19 y/o kid did mine. Pit the whole drive shaft in a lathe and cut the weld off. Heated the tube and the end fell out. As for the year and branch of military... Its a 1987 USMC issued.

Thank You for the kind words. Got the bed bolted on and the trailer plug back in. Tomorrow need to put some dimples in a replacement step and mount. reluctant to start the camo painting. Might move to painting the interior before camo

For the guys that have painted camo before. Can you please explain how to mask and get that nice full coverage of paint but still keep the faded edge. I'm thinking masking tape and roll the edge back to get the faded edge. Seams like be hard to gut smooth lines from not wanting to bend For the...

There is no spline on the front drive shaft from the trans to the carrier. My old drive shaft they cut the flat yoke end off and welded to a new tube with the carrier. There is NO spline on that. There is no front to back play between those two. My old drive shaft with the spline was cut to go...

quad cab Was a productive day today. Got 3 coats of GCI 34094 green on. Bed put on still need the bolts, tomorrow. Got the mud flaps on.. Now for the trailer plug, and camo the truck.

Well it runs and drives. Took it out for a test run. Had to make a 2 point turn to get in and out of the drive way. Tomorrow i'll blow it off and finish the base green. got the new drive shaft today and installed it. Had to make a cross member for the carrier bearing 1/4 x6 tube cut to fit and...

Due to the length I'd say it needs to be a 2 piece with a carrier bearing. Total length transmission flange to rear axle flange is 98 1/2". Hopefully will reuse the original drive shaft. Add a cross member for a carrier bearing. Then a 48" new shaft.

Well The fuel lines are done and truck is running. Electric pigtail has been extended and the lights work. Air lines have been extended back to the glad hand. Yes {hand} I lost one in the garage and cant' find it. So if anyone knows where I sat it. Brake line is extended and bled. Tomorrow...

Thanks again for your help. The large line is the fuel feed from the pump is 1/2 o.d. copper. I cut and flared myself. Its a inverted double flare. Same thing as a brake line. The medium is the return line is 3/8. I bought a 48" piece of brake line. Again double inverted flare. The small line...

Well the frame is done. Time to wipe down and paint the frame. Extend the wiring harness Extend the air lines. Extend the fuel lines. And drive shaft. ? for all..... Would you go with a one piece drive shaft.. OR a two piece with a carrier bearing. I have no intension of beating on the truck.

Been away for work the last week. Got some of the frame lengthening done yesterday. LOTS of holes to drill. Its Monday morning, Going to go out and get more done {hopefully}. All frame material in 5/16 thick, Man it's heavy.

I have been going to make it longer since I put the fuel tank up and it didn't fit. Then the tires would be hanging out in front of the bed. I have the frame extensions drilled to mount. When done will be 16 1/2" bolts on each side. Most important to me is the mounting will be on all original...

Well I got more done today. The steps are on. Spare tire carrier is mounted with a new cable. Fuel tank is also mounted. Now to figure out how to make the fuel lines longer..... Any Ideas? Tomorrow I'll start drilling to mount the tandem's
