Cpappy M1009 Restoration

[CPAPPY]

Here is my M1009 that I will be doing some work on, Just started on it last Saturday and was able to take off the Cap ,hood fenders . Sunday removed the passenger side rear quarter panel where there was a dent that was to much to work with , so I decided to just remove it and order a new one . Will remove cab from frame and sandblast after I get the quarter panel installed .

Looks like your tearing right into it. What all are you planning on doing to the truck?

This is a 1984 M1009 with 70,000 plus mile on it run very well , No rust on Body some minor dents to fix. Remove body from frame and sandblast the frame and epoxy primer and top coat black. Replacing windshield with one that has antenna in it so I can add a radio in it . The truck will be painted With Sherwin William Waterborne CARC paint .It will be CAMO 383Green,Black& Brown. Monsterliner the inside of the cab, also adding rear antennas to rear quarter panels . Might add a 2" lift and will be adding some 33"x12.5"x 15" Mud tire ,I have not decided on what brand yet I really like Nitto Mud Grappler.Tinting the windows Black, Replacing All rubber seals through out. New Black Dash Pad from DashPad direct Nice quality . Seat will be done in Black along with the Door Panels .

What prompted the removal of the right quarter? I agree, the 33" tire fits with no lift but with 2 1/2" lift it looks so much better.

Edit; Nevermind, reading is fundamental.

 

[AECS]

33 will only fit with no lift if you run a 10 inch width, the 12 inch width will rub.

Well it back to work on my M1009 , Its been over 2yrs. now since i started this project . Ive had some bad luck again 2 mini Strokes in 2015 , Then i just had Back surgey in Dec. and spent the Month in Cleveland Clinc. with complications and then Care Flighted from Dayton to Cleveland with Spinal Meningitis and Block Clot in Leg and Lung . Doing well enough to now work on my M1009 . So I bought a Donor Blazer Back in March to replace the rear Quarter panel that had a lot of Bondo on it . 4TH of July Weekend i Weld the Quarter panel back in and dismembered the Blazer. So last week I Cleaned the frame Ground and Wire wheeled it all over , and then Epoxy Primed the frame Sunday . Today I clean the Motor and Transmission to get ready Paint . So now i will post some picture.

Your project is going to look great. I can tell by the way you mow your lawn (with straight lines and stripes)

Replacing All rubber seals through out.

What's the best source for this? Basically all the seals on mine are shot and I want to replace all of them.
