More Pics of my M1008 Restore

[hmsgoodhope]

Hi Folks,

Finally got seats in truck after Dave's great paint and interior restore job. I will be posting more pics over next day or so but here is first lot. Next year I will have him do my M1009 after I get her mechanically fit. As you can see I decided to not go totally traditional - seats look much better stained - my opinion. Also wanted antenna mounts and guards for radio setup that I am still working out. I just got a new tailgate that I will put on this spring after I paint to match - Dave did his best with one I had but it is so badly pranged up as to be a loss. I am also working on cover and hoops - they will also be ready by spring. I have new cover for setup once finished. Will continue to post pics as project finishes up.

More pics later today of interior and seats (in down position).

Cheers!

I have to second the stained seats. It looks really good. Whenever I get the funds, I need to get my m1028 to a body man.

Hi Folks,

Thanks for comments!

Interior all Dave's doing! Dave stained dash and doors - they weren't too bad to start - faded somewhat - but restaining really makes them look good as new. Seat we left alone - it was mint from GL lot! The troop seats took me easily 40+ hours to strip as much of the paint as I could off them to make stain look good. Sanding, and resanding, I got 98% off. Close inspoection would show some spots where belt sander had to be used to "blast" off CARC paint and get to wood. I then hit it with 2 coats of Poly to seal it up.

Wow I apologize I see the gauge bezel is on already. Looks great.

Looks great, I was thinking of doing someting similar to mine . She used to belong to the Navy so I was thinking about replacing the wood with mohogany and the carriage bolts with brass then coating with a marine sealant. like the black brush guard too.
