Next installment. My work today was cut short. I had help my son fix my cucv M1009 that he drives. There were some dash lights out. It was also hard starting also so I tried checking the glow plugs. The connectors were so rusted a couple broke off at the glow plug. This led to changing out all...

The nice weather out kept me out of the garage for the most part. I assembled the blast cabinet and did some rearranging in the yard. I had my donor M151 in the weather with a tarp along with my new deuce tires. Both tarps dry rotted and opened up so I moved the stuff a few doors down to my...

I will have more pics this weekend as I plan on cleaning up the residue from the spot welds, getting off the rest of the side along with the residue of the front fender, and rust treating all the rust. I hope to also prime the welding areas with weld through primer. I will do some more dent work...

I probably could have done with only putting on a new fender but the other owner already bought the panels. You had to look real close to find any rust problems on this one. Most of this is collision damage. Look real close at the first pic of the side panel off. The white patch is bondo. There...

Last few.

Today I got the rest of the exterior brackets off and removed most of the side along with the fender. The fender had been replaced once and was brazed in. The rear of the front fender lip was rebuilt with about a gallon of bondo. Next to get the interior brackets and reinforcement off and...

After the detailed pressure wash I decided I would chemically strip then run over it with 80 grit and spot blast it. The pressure washer exposed the weak areas. I think spotting the rust is enough. Except for a few problem areas, there is only rust where the paint was scratched off. Today I got...

These are the before for comparison.

Yesterday I pressure washed the tub and the high pressure showed out some weak areas that will need some attention. Today I got out my hydraulic spreader kit and pushed some of the damaged areas back into shape enough to allow me to replace the panels that need to be replaced. The ram was too...

Sorry boys she is going to army standards. I am keeping the USMC stuff so I can reverse it if I want. The front bumper is Army but I am looking for a USMC bumper. I want to get all the stuff to put it back as a USMC in the future. I also need to get a fording kit and a fording valve. I will need...

The collision damage is the only problem. Both rear wheel wells are jacked and it looks like something came down on the front near the dash as the dash is buckled in the center and the passenger's side is to low. The person I got it from had already purchased a side panel and passenger's side...

last one.

Well I finally got a chance to strip the tub. Everything is off except the main brake line and the rear harness. I plan to aircraft strip the thing then follow up with some sanding and blasting followed by some red oxide to keep it real. I hope to get the job done next weekend so I can

I just saw your post. The thing works great. I plan to modify it a little to allow for infinite adjustment on the rotation. Right now it is working out because I can move it around in my garage while I have to do other stuff. Stripping the stuff off is my first priority. It will probably only...

I already started a thread over there when I got it out of the barn. I updated it when I got it on the rotisserie.

It was tippy getting it on the rotisserie. My son Ty and I used a Hi Lo jack to get it up enough to slide the mounts into the frame. Not tippy at all right now. I need to weld some nuts on the top of the swivels so I can get infinite adjustment instead of just the predrilled holes. I have been...

I got it out of the barn a few months ago. I was able to get my cab switched out on my F-350 so now I have the Mutt on the rotisserie and in the garage. I need to strip it down and blast before winter.
