Is there a way to change the title of this thread to Central FL M1031?

I am using the rapco black zinc phosphate primer also. Would that count as the high build primer sealer?

As I understand your last post. After I have sanded at 80 grit and primed with two coats of say, rustoleum rusty metal primer, I then need to allow it to cure a day, then sand with 120 or 180 grit, one or two coats of my black zinc phospate primer, allow it to cure, then apply my top coat...

I will definitely get back to you about the generator.

Please tell me more about sealer. I have no knowledge on painting. I have only used 80 grit so far. I have been trying very hard not to get down to metal after CUCVRUS posted to this thread. I am trying to not go past the tan carc. if you can tell me what to do or direct me to a good video ( I...

Hello All. I managed to have some more fun time outside. I have also determined that my skills at painting are very much lacking and I will be seeking professional help. I did manage to get the front and rear windshields out as well as remove the hood and front cowl. I think one of the wiper...

Hello all. I bought my M1031 back in April for 6.5 k. Found it on ebay. Granted it had been repainted red for fire duty. Only had 16k miles on it. Did have floor pan and cab corner issues.

Hello all! It has been a few minutes since I have had time to play outside. Today I managed to clean and prime ine headlight bucket and cut out the passenger floor board. Hope to have more time soon. this will be a good opportunity to power wash the trans and transfer once I have both...

Sounds and looks good. Count me in.

Just for grins and giggles, I sent in a quote requst to aeroquip (one the companies that comes up when you do a search for part numbers). They sent back a quote of $488.00 to make that hose for me. I will be converting to the civvy version for about$120. Thank you all. Parts are on order at napa.

Thank you for the replies. I was able to look up the original part numbers but they are no longer available. Does anyone know the part numbers to replace the filler neck and hose with civvie versions? CUCVRUS, sir, what condition is the hose you have? Thank you.

Good evening all. I am searching for a replacement fuel filler hose for my M1031. I a relplacement NOS hose is no longer available, does anyone have part numbers for a replacement hose and filler neck? Thank you in advance for your help!

Good evening all. Got some fun done on the M1031 this weekend. got the spot welds drilled out of the floor pans Saturday, prepped to be replaced. Started taking all the paint off the trim for the grill. Removed the headlight buckets to be cleaned sanded and painted. Progressing slowly. A...

Over the years I have also found that coca cola in a bowl will clean the circuit board very wel. Rinse in clean water, let it dry and use dielectric grease.

Well, school has started. So my time to play in the shop is growing is growing scarce. Made good progress today. I am trying very hard while sanding to not get down to metal. Moderate success… but finished the rough sanding of both doors, removed both doors and finished priming the brush guard.

Very wise words sir. I will endeavor to do it right.

This time they used jeep tie down data plates to repair the cab corners.

Missed some pics… The paint from Rapcoparts works great. Not a bad job I think for rattlecans.

Good evening all. A lot of good progress made lately. the M1031 truck box come back from sandblasting tomorrow. got a lot of work done learning to sand and paint this weekend. replacement cab corners and floor pans are ordered. Amazing what was used for body repairs by the Army

Thanks for the input. I agree with you. For now, i will change the hoses and bleed the system. I will have the rotors turned and new pads( there is a squeal when braking.
