So I decided to replace my steering column, that was a hoot getting it out. Then more bad news apparently the bearings in my steering gear box are shot, water intrusion over the years I'm sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVrBR-WXfSM

Still taking stuff apart

The work goes on, and never seems to end. My list of whats left to to do seems to grow every day. Today is tank cleaning day the pressure washer seems to do a really good job. I got my crossover pipe capped off as I am only gonna run on the dvr side tank. Wanted to cap off the crossover as I...

Are they available down under or do you have to get them shipped in from the U.S.

Thats the one i was thinking about.

I remember seeing a website where a fella had modified his goat with a big block v8 and super swamper tires. I think he used custom made rims though, I'll see if i can find it

I could put 01 on the side and general lee on top and call it good.

Getting more of the crappy brown paint removed, I really don't want to sandblast this truck so scraping it with a razor knife, comes off pretty easy just a time consuming task. Besides the red is good paint and stuck on good will make good primer.

Are the dukw tires not available? I know they don't make a lot of them. wish you were closer i would give you a couple.

Thanks for the info, didn't know 101 would fit, thats good news.

I looked at your pictures in your profile, it sure is a good looking truck, where did you find your rear cargo cover?

Looks like a nice truck, I see NG which I'm sure is National Guard and what looks like BDE which would be brigade, cant make out the rest.

And I found some soldier graffiti on the bottom of the hull, either someone's initials or he was from Georgia

More progress, some setbacks, but that is normal in a project like this , something which I am sure you are all familiar with. Charlie 6, I hope to have mine looking as good as yours, looks like your truck was a fire truck in it's previous life as well. Got the fuel system buttoned up, except...

Seems like a pricey option, are there no other alternatives down under?

I like the champ!

Making progress still, trying to get an hour or two in every day after work. Dash disassembled, I can save the speedo but will replace all the other gauges. Got my cut wiring harness all figured out now. Had to call m38inmaine for some advice and he came thru as usual. Only 1000 things left,

I used some fine swear words this week, thankfully no small children or nuns about:oops:

Thanks, good to know, pic of the golden pulley.

Haven't got the alternator in yet but will double check the belts.
