Tailgate blasted and primed, it was a NOS unit that had sat in a wet box and got rusty. She shows some pitting in the recess but the tools should cover most of it. Seems strange an all aluminum truck would have a steel tailgate, the choice of steel sure wasn't for strength.

The lower front left fender bracket was missing/ripped off so I had to fabricate one. I made a cardboard template from the RH bracket and used it to trace one out on a section of damaged goat fender. Bent it in the vice using some heat from a propane torch along the edge, I'm quite happy with...

There is a used one on ebay for sale item 172217259874, but as I look at it there are two in the picture, you want the one on the left, might ask him first which is for sale. It's a buy it now so I don't believe I am breaking any rules posting the item number, if I am moderators please delete it.

Before I spent more time or money on the transmission I would evaluate the condition of the rest of the drive train. Drain each and check for water and look inside the best you can for rust. Check the engine to see if it is free and if coolant is in the oil. Pull the inspection plug on the...

Nice Tom, I would contact the fire department to see if they know the condition of the unit.

Most times it's the ground tab in the bulb socket that breaks off or needs cleaning. Your dash light is a separate problem, get a multimeter and make sure the trace is not broken. You may also try bending the tabs on the socket out a bit.

This is the piece I need and the bolt holding it on, man you saved me big time.

Glad to see another project goat on board, look forward to sharing information. I have a nice carrier hull that is free for the taking but I suspect there must be one closer for you.

That's it, see you are still on the ball. Here is a picture of the throttle linkage on the bell housing, I am missing the extension piece that bolts to the horizontal arm. If anyone has a picture of their linkage and a couple more as it goes back so I can see how it attaches to the bracket...

I bought a complete engine gasket kit(military)from Red River in TX. The head gaskets(metal rings)were rusty so I had to order them new from a commercial source. Also the oil pan gasket was dried out and stiff so I also bought it commercially. I was never able to locate a part number for...

That is the plan but a lot of unknowns, should know pretty soon, fingers crossed.

Thanks Tom, cleaned and painted it while it was out being repaired. Got a late start today with morning parade duties in my MB transporting Veterans. Today I installed the new radiator, shroud etc. Took a while cleaning up all the hardware and parts that go to this assembly, lots of parts...

Good job, thanks for the AAR.
