turn away if you hate rust as much as i do-keeping a record here,so i can see how it goes/went at a later date. also in the side view i hope to have the engine and trans fitted next weekend,tall order but i been busting my hump to get all the jobs done so i can progress this build. then...

want to thank CJTROUTT for the headsup ojn dodge repop tin work-saved me from a life of welding and rust chasing!! got some done today as well,finnished some adaptors to allow my A FRAME to work with the pintle,s on the front of the chassis-so much for NATO commonality!:???: the two outer...

one of those foot operated switches used for high / low beam ? or just a button on the dash? it,s suprising how hard it is to get parts for trucks that are ony 34 years old!

i surely wish i had some sort of sheet metal working kit-as this old truck is more rust than tin! but i,ve had dodge,s a long time and cant bear to see one go to the scrap pile,so i,ve built the truck chassis to take the stock cab as far as i can,and hope one day, maybe i,ll find another good...

also trial fitted this CVRT/FV434 -A-bar assembly to front pintles on my dodgeymog-i will have to make up a few parts on the lathe,but they will become part of the CES for this vehicle when it,s done.

got a bit of progress-. the other day i got the rear bed marked out,today i cut the bed-i took 18 inches out-then i cut some timber bearers that slide into the top of the bed return lip,got some ratchet straps,hammers and trolley jacks to persuade it all into posistion,and then stitch welded...

all sound advice,ground cables are the point where the circuit is most likely to fail due to corrosion caused by disimilar metals-i have a mobile 'fly lead' that has led indication of any dc voltage-you can switch it between pos and neg-it,s really handy-got in a wal mart last time i was...

lousy pictures-taken of photos-but a better set can be found here,including build shots,great website for such an unusual vehicle. http://www.vw166.com/schwimmwagen/restorations/replica_uk_1.htm i have been very lucky in that i have been out swimming in 2 different 40,s schwimmwagens,and reg,s...

thanks chris, we now have a new forum for any german stuff folk may have laying around- this is a friends home made schwimmwagen-used in the 'band of brothers' t.v. series filmed here in hertfordshire. reggie built this using a 1959 vw beetle as a base.everything is handmade. the workmanship...

congrats-fine looking truck.you,ll want a whistler next........[thumbzup]

5.9 2nd gen p-pumped 12v cummins.all day.putting electronics on a deuce is like putting disc brakes on a horse.:mrgreen:

no-what i meant was a MDK-2 from the AT-T family,or the equally wonderful BTM trencher-these look like real hot rodded main battle tanks,seen one in action-most impressive indeed.i am incorporating some design aspects into one of my projects.although on a smaller scale . and to think all this...

really interesting vids-russian stuff is so far out! i always loved the BAT 5 combat engineers tractor-

sweet score,like the video-run a chief meself-i like to let the revs drop way down before selecting,stops any grinding. where did you find this bike?

skid steer and i would use it as a floating dumpster. too much vodka

a few days before this i was wondering where to put the new air intake-i decided to put it on the roof of the cab,as far out of the way of the water and mud this truck will live in. prototype v22 osprey icing intake scoop-used silencer/muffler and two clamps from a KTM 990 ADVENTURE...

got some done- made two alignment centre,s-one sits on the input shaft nose of the trans,the other sits inside the clutch alighnment tool we made,this allows me to centreline the engine and trans. made up a setting bar-this allows simple setting of the eng/trans to be parralell with each...

i know it matters which way they go round,it was around 20 years ago i found that out the hard way-all i did was to swap them around and it,s been good to go since. i just looked in my hahaynes manual=nothing

yes,the shelters are very rare here though- does it look like a guy who would spend time welding up a hopelessly rusted to pieces truck will ever throw anything away ?:D the bed is getting 20 inches taken out ,keeping the brackets in situ as they have strong tie down points.
