You nailed it, Frank USMC; that's exactly how they got it. It's in the story there if you read the link. It sure is impressively restored; very cool.

Do the bucket arms have any lock-off (like below) to keep safe when you put her up like that?

Where did you buy that?

Now that there is a WOOD pile! :naner::beer:

How did you work the radius around the sheet metal; hammer it, in sections, around a post?

You know, if it were July then I'd feel bad for you. But Spring doesn't sprung until March 21. I think you'll be okay. How's the woodpile?! :naner: :beer:

OK; I see that second one now. So is that 6 terminals (3 each: Pos/ Neg), for each battery?

I don't recall ever seeing that particular switch before; where did you find that dual-rocker switch?

Glad you're rig is up-and-running, again. [thumbzup] That is one whopping big battery under the hood; I guess I've never noticed before, but is that standard for the M1009?

It's funny how projects get buried like that, and then you need to go "archaeologist" and sift through the layers to find that one little effort that got lost. I run into that ALL the time.

OK; I got you. The "big truck dealers" idea is a great one; if you need it (whatever "it" is), then go to a truck repair shop and ask them, and then THEY can point anybody to the specialists. That makes sense, thanks!

I don't think I've ever noticed any Spring Shops before; but then I haven't been looking for them either (which might explain everything). Are these Spring Shops common in any large metropolitan area?

You going to braided stainless-steel?

The paint doesn't "know" what it's going to land on: - If that sprayer did a good job for you somewhere else, and any prep needed for your paint is correct, then it should also do a fine job for you on your rig. You don't need a Paint-A-Truck-Only-Sprayer, though there are companies who love...

Any ladies following the thread just said, "Thank, GOD". :naner:

:funny:

That's an excellent build-out, Swamp Donkey. Did you fabricate all the pieces; and how did you make the radius cuts on the sheetmetal corners, a grinder?

It hurts a little to see her get carved up, but I'm excited for your project. Keep us posted!
