This is going to be a beautiful truck. Says the guy who is not a fan at all of the cutting and bobbing that is going on. Yours looks like it came like this from the factory and that makes it very, very cool.

Thank You for the kind words.
Got the bed bolted on and the trailer plug back in.
Tomorrow need to put some dimples in a replacement step and mount.
reluctant to start the camo painting.
Might move to painting the interior before camo

Rusty, no more than one weighs, I'm willing to ship it cross country. Can you get a name of the shop, maybe a person there and PM to me? Thanks

Before shipping.
Ask around in your area for a drive shaft shop near you.
Like I said a 19 y/o kid did mine.
Pit the whole drive shaft in a lathe and cut the weld off.
Heated the tube and the end fell out.

As for the year and branch of military...
Its a 1987 USMC issued.

Nice. My only suggestion is to not have an isolated spot of colour that is surrounded by green on all sides. Black touches brown touches green. Green does not get to flow around any colour on all sides. However, it is your truck and you do what you like!

It kind of like matters where one is hiding at, storm, sun, on the road, setup defensive and such.
Remember it doesn't rain in the Army, it rains ON the Army.
Wait 'Till She gets wet or lightning on or whatever. This is not for the mall or fluorescent lights.

It is to HIDE

Well I got the seats finished today.
Did the fronts yesterday and the rears done today.
Went for a maiden voyage and all went well.
If anything may need to bleed the brakes better.
Was fine when pumped once.seat3.jpgseats2.jpgseats.jpgmaiden voyage.jpg
