    I said the same thing about my m37 its just going to be a driver, then it became an obsession. Take the ceiling panel off over the pass door and it will tell you what you need to do. POR will become your friend.

    Coming Attraction - project #6 M43 build

    Do you plan on taking the body off the frame? I'm to that point just need the will power. Biggest thing that I've found so far is the insulation a sponge for mice and moisture. And every one that I've looked at has some kind of rust along the roof seams.

    My window only goes down a quarter of the way

    Make sure that the window guides( the part that the window slides up and down in ) has'nt come apart. Its a metal channel covered in a felt material. The felt falls apart after time and can jam up the window. Or the whole guide can come loose from the door frame.:-)

    Steel Soldiers nametapes

    What about a Steel Soldiers license plate with your screen name in place of the letters/numbers, mounted on the front bumper? Or the screen name stenciled somewhere small and standard for all the trucks. Say bottom of the drivers door?

    truck identification

    It also sometimes helps to pin down an approximate ( notice approximate) year by checking all three axle tags or stampings for build dates. If all three are the same, then probably ( notice probably) this an approximate ( notice approximate) build date for the frame and axles. Motors and trans...
