Welcome! Enterprise, MS here! Not far from the AL line in Clarke County. Also new owner of CUCV. Fabrication Shop in Madison? Hmmmmmmmm.........sounds like a lot of mods are possible there. I have no idea how many MS SS members there are, but maybe we should plan on some kind of meeting...

This is what I was referring to above. Kind of a long shot, seeing you're all the way across the country but it could be arranged if there's no other choice. If you're pushed for time this may not be an option unless you have the right connections at the port to get 'er done! EDIT: Your last...

Looks like it lays pretty flat. Orange peel is ok for a protective coating. Not bad at all. Are the coated parts pictured above still wet or will it have that shine when it's cured?? Also, how many coats of Durabak will you be spraying and how thick? I like the idea, it's like a work glove for...

Welcome! Welcome from Mississippi!............ (pics?)

Suggestion: I've seen adapters used on American kingpins to adapt to European 5th wheels. They are attached with countersunk allen head bolts, it goes on in two pieces on the trailer kinpin or even welded on permanently, making it the right size for the Euro truck 5th wheels. If all these parts...

Nice! That's a clean looking combo you got there! Thanks for sharing

Pawnshop, you got a ballpark estimate of what your finished trailer will weigh? You reckon it can be pulled by a 1009? Also can't wait to see the finished product. Cool idea! Ripcord, what's the trailer in your avatar? I tried to send pm to keep from semi-hijacking this thread (I apologize...

Welcome! That's one clean looking truck you got there. Congrats! Looks like it was taken care of. Yeah, like E Dr.P said, what restoration plans ya got for it? Looks nice just like it is.

:ditto:

Paying $15 Yep, money is tight for most every American right now. Believe me I understand that, raising a family. I haven't paid yet but It's one of the Christmas gifts I'm giving myself this year soon as I receive my next paycheck. [thumbzup] This site is worth every penny just for the...

Chuck10 thanks for posting this. Your trailer looks too clean to haul anything in now lol ! Very nice! It sure looks better than black. I'd like to do this on the floor of my 1009. Roady-thanks for the link. I ordered an OD sample!

I think it's very nice work! Lots of time and work went into making it what it is. I know how firemen like to keep their vehicles clean and serviced so it should look that good in 20 years.

How about a tailgate net? Can be bought everywhere, Cheap, Removable when not in use, Strong, Durable, Can be spray painted to match the trailer[thumbzup], Will flex enough to have lumber hanging out an inch or so, Will keep lumber from moving back. This combined with ENTRAIL's idea of the...

Amazon.com: 7"x6" Diamond Cut Black Housing H6053 Sealed Replacement Headlights: Automotive Don, I hope this link works. It is a replacement instead of the Projector types I found (which claim to be off road only), and s'pose to be much brighter and have glass lens instead of plastic. These...

Homemade? It could be a homemade top. Enclosed are pics of my uncle's old late 1920's Coca Cola delivery Ford (and the pickup I can't talk him out of). The original cab was wooden and was rotted, so he fabbed a duplicate out of steel. Not sure if that's what you found but it's possible. (??)

Could be a loose connection to the battery since you had nothing on the second try after charging a few more minutes. Try checking/cleaning your battery connections.

If you have a spare pintle hitch it looks like you could mount it on the area below the tailgate. If not, maybe a receiver hitch mounted underneath, with one of the receiver-type pintles (Reese makes different models, just go to reese dot com). Just bring the above mentioned parts with essential...

Ugly?? She's a diamond in the rough.........still beautiful in her own way. Congrats on the safe trip! Jimmy

It looks like the new Member's Map is going to help create new meet up places for all areas. I didn't realize there were more than a couple Mississippi members out there. Once everyone who is going to post their AO gets it on there we can plan small rallys, meets & eats, weekend campouts, rides...

Welcome Welcome from the east central part of the state, Dock Rocker! I'm from Stonewall, about 1 1/2 hrs from you. Can't wait for you to post pictures of your new MV. Lots of good folks on Steel Soldiers willing to help or point you in the right direction. Oh, and download the TM's they will...
