We used Moyer's Fuel Tank Renu in Pittsburgh. It should come back as good as new, totally rust free and coated. Moyer Fuel Tank Renu - antique gas tank repair restoration, classic car gas tanks GASTANK

We got the headlights sorted, both high and low beam. We got the tail lamp ans stop lamp working too, but it needs a more permanent set up. There aren't any turn signals installed, and the BO lights aren't hooked up. We just pulled the fuel tank and sent it out for refurb.

Thanks! It was a load of work, but it felt good to make it with both trucks. It certainly seemed to get some attention! Now to get the lights sorted... Bet of luck on your new project! Keep us posted.

Got the tags and insurance sorted yesterday. A couple of last minute adjustments today and tomorrow. Aberdeen here we come!

Sunday And Sunday…. We ran it around the block, and I think we just might make it…. :driver:

Saturday We started the big push to get ready for Aberdeen. Here's Saturday's progress...

No worries! All helpful information is welcome! :beer:

Sure did. @MD - Thanks Mike! We're hoping to have it running by Saturday afternoon!

That was the way it came from the rebuild shop. We moved the lifting eye back where it belongs since the pictures were taken, and the oil filter bracket is still on the oil filter in the box.

Here are a couple of shots of the rebuilt engine as it gets prepped for install.

Thanks Mike. It's been a ton of work, but it's really coming together nice! We just got the engine back and the rush starts tomorrow!

Here are a few more of the transfer case when we took it out and in various stages of clean up; the transfer case reinstalled after rebuild; welding on the windshield frame lip for the soft top. :beer:

I've been remiss in my updates. We've gotten loads accomplished, but not much that makes for good pictures. The engine is due back tomorrow, and we're going to get on the reinstall right away. My father rebuilt the transfer case and transmission, but I don't have any pics. I'll have to ask if he...

We sent it out to JB's Auto Machine in Baltimore. They take the block and heads and do a total rebuild. We've gotten a few engines done there. Home

My father got all the wiring harnesses for the truck from Midwest Military. We thought about doing it ourselves, but several of the wires have rotted away to where we can't tell what goes where. We figured it would be a better process to get the harness then follow the manual.

As the work continues…. We got the rear axle done. It wasn't as involved as the front, so there aren't many pictures. We've also gotten the engine and tranny pulled and the engine sent for rebuild. This past weekend we got all new brake lines installed, and started on the wiring. That's going to...

Thanks Mike! It wasn't messed up until we replaced the tie rod ends. We got it close so we could get the wheels on it and line it up. We'll dial it in in the days to come.

We have gotten the front end back together, and the wheels are back on! After a front end alignment, it's on to the drive train and rear end…. :driver:

No. We took them off, cleaned them up, replaced all the bushings and checked for any defects. Then we put them back on.

We went with direct replacement with what was there, and what reflects in the TM. It has the roller bearings in the bottom.
