Nice build, mine is also a FL M1009 and may have more rust (less every week though). Don't give up :)

Same here with my teen daughter, the only one that shares my love are my sons. Both the wife and daughter hate em. When I get my 5-Ton home, I'm going to "honk" on the train horn when I'm pulling in... she's going to love that, I'm going to make sure to mount my GoPro cameras to catch the moment :)
Awesome! Wish I could be a fly on the wall for that.

Class 3 hitch added and tied into military pintle to have the correct positioning and pivotability required for military trailers. Note the bracket from the pintle to the hitch is from an m1008 pick up and the hitch from a salvage yard. The ears were cut off of the oem pintle mount and welded to the hitch so I can use my M101A2 and connect with ease. My friend Jay fabricated a tag bracket that mounts through the shackle bracket which can be removed by pulling the shackle pin. If anyone is interested we have another slightly different hitch that we can install for you hitch included for $150.00 and he can fabricate you a tag bracket for $40.00 plus materials.

Here are a few pics of my body donor. I paid $750.00 for what you see minus engine, trans, t-case, and drive shafts. It will go back military loosing all the chrome and mldgs but I will have the advantage of having a factory a/c dash with controls as well as most of the under hood stuff.
