    My New toy

    Opened up the toolbox again today while the weather is staying nice... I used spray on rubberized bed liner, and coated the entire underneath of my seat/battery area with it. I ended up picking up one of those marine battery boxes, so I installed that as well. It isn't original I know...but...

    My New toy

    I had thought about that...but I was sort of hoping to be able to get them locally for whatever reason...may have to call him back I guess! I was also thinking about buying a new fuel pickup from from. The one I got from vintage powerwagons I am not satisfied with, as it doesn't have a return...

    My New toy

    Got the truck painted between the cab and the body...now the body is just sitting ontop of the frame awaiting a bolt down. Now that I have the $$ to buy the appropriate parts, I would like to go to the local mom and pop-have EVERYTHING hardware store to get the bolts/support local buisness...

    My New toy

    I'd like too! We'll have to see... I will have to add a fuel gauge sending unit in the future as well, my wiring harness is gutted, so I couldn't justify the $100 right now...maybe I will add the vent at the same time

    My New toy

    As a side note...the new fuel pickup I purchased from vintage power wagons didn't come with a place to attach the vent line...unsure about what I will be doing on this matter for the time being

    My New toy

    Got my re-built gas tank back today. Got it done at Custom Radiator & Sales in Gardner, MA. They were a pleasure to work with, tank comes with a 5 year warranty. Lined the inside with 2 coats, and I had them top coat it as well. I attached a picture of the tank previously...the shop actually...

    Correct screws?

    This is a really cool thread, I'm glad it was resurrected! Looking forward to seeing your progress, best of luck to you! I agree with what others have said here...you need an M-215 to go with it! :)

    My New toy

    Just got back from a road trip...drove down to Uxbridge, MA today with my father. There is a power wagon parts yard down there, and the owner Dennis Sherman was a pleasure to talk to and deal with! The website is Power Wagons Parts and after meeting Mr. Sherman, I would definitely suggest...

    My first power wagon

    Good find and good save! These things are relatively simple to work on, great trucks. I'd say scrap the bed and pick a new one up...**** even a nicely done flatbed would look nice!
