As I said - Crown folks took a BIG item and gave these to PB in exchange for a sun shield - it was in the small print of the contract.
Framework in - wipers to install yet after I change out their rubbers.
Rear brakes are 14 inches and not 9 inch - I could have had the wheels all done today till I found this cleaning stuff up. Stuff will be re-ordered and swapped out along with cores being returned.
Hood welt installed.
Underside of the chassis painted.
Filler plate between the cab done.
PTO yoke slip to go onto the driveline yoke is smaller that what was in the boxes - winch side to yoke is good - will have to figure this one out as well - otherwise I could have had this done.
Crown bags work good to put clean parts in to hang off the spindles will all the parts come and do them all at one.
Couple walk around pics just to show the status of the build - within striking range now.

As usual the progress is just amazing Bro!!
I'm getting the urge to terrorize the neighborhood trees driving that rascal around!!
I'm gonna have to see about getting you a couple more bottles of crown so ya have the soft lil bag to put parts in. The parts fairy is usually too lazy to untie a bag!

Commander, the next time ya talk with John, ask him about the yoke. He supplied all those parts as "correct" for that truck. I'm sure he can figure it out and make good on it.

Rims blasted up - rings along with them - little work to do to one rim before etch primering them.
Measured the yoke that would not fit on the pto drive - that was 1 1/4. PTO drive output is 1 inch.
Bunch-o-parts ordered up this morning - with the Holiday in here I expect them Monday to show - so it looks like I better cut my 2 ft tall grass in the yard as non of my neighbors have gotten disgusted enough to do it for me.
Oh yeah - that book looking thing has all these pics in it for PB as a gift from Deb - that soda pop is mine.

"The Book"
Ever since I've been slobering over MVs we've "fixed up" (but NEVER to this extent) I've been wanting to make a scrapbook of progress from acquisition to completion...but that has never happened until now
All I can say is that between you Zout, and Zout2(Deb) you are making a young man (under 40) (me) a very happy camper!
Next time I come up I'll bring plenty of "additive" for your soda Brother!![[thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbzup]")

I always had a hankering for Cherry Coke - shinny up to the ole soda fountain as a kid and sit on the stools - sure miss them days. Ole man Creagan (Creagan Drug Store) could make some mighty fine soda drinks.
After the soda - go see the new months Superman comic book for .10 cents and head home on the bike about 3 miles - good ole days. Captain America - Green Hornet I remember were some of the other ones.
I have one rim that is being a nasty bugger to get the split ring off - it comes off tonight after I have etched up the rims and welded in a couple little rust spots on one of the rims & smooth it off.
Get some of the small things done while I wait for the last of the parts shipments from John up at Midwest Military.
I have a side utility box I made for Gene up in Custer as well - I have to get this thing packaged up and sent off to him.

Did get the lawn cut after welding up a 1987 Murray Tractor - got the rims in etch prime and tried beating that other lock ring off and into submission - it was a NO GO situation. Tire is on that rim along with the lock ring for life.
Guess its against the law to light up tires on fire HUH.

How about cutting thru the tire and as much bead as you can in several places with a sawzall? Once it is opened up a bit, careful work with a sharp cold chisel on the remaining bead- as close as you dare to the rim.

2 inches of tire is cut out - lock ring is cut through with only about an inch half all by itself - hammered the living chit out of the little piece and it will not budge. Did I mention the tire was full of water - last pic is of it all running out. Lock ring is cut through in 4 pieces all the way around - it will not hammer out or budge. Tire will now be hung from the rafters in the garage as stating - I whooped Zouts Arse.

Gurantee before that rim gets hung in the rafters that stinkin lock ring WILL be removed one way or the other.
PB - wait till ya see your new studs and nuts coming for the drums so they are not all odd ball ones like the ones that were on there.
Lefties and Righties. Wishfull thinkin gets me nowhere - thinkin the last of the parts might make it here before the weekend - then you'll see some finishing stuff - most likely they will be here first of next week.
Work on getting some tires mounted up.
