Welcome Eugene!
I got all of my bumper bolts from Fastenal. Nothing special unless you're doing a Judge-worthy rig, then you'd have to find the correct washers, etc.

Hi guys,
These are on our local KSL website: $2500 each, and one supposedly is a runner:

That's what it's all about! If you're not enjoying the project something is wrong!
Gary

Great pix-thanks!
If you go to the Registry and search your VIN your photo should pop up.
Gary

Nice!

Welcome Thomas!
I know of no other VIN stamping than the frame in front of the steering box.
We'd love to see some pictures of your trucks.
Thanks for joining us!
Gary

Agreed-nice work!
Gary

Or, get a fuel sender access floor panel and use it.
Gary

Prices on everything are through the roof.
Keep making progress a little at a time-thanks for the update!
Gary

Joe you are making some fantastic progress! We applaud your efforts-slow but steady and you'll be on the road.
Well done my Friend!
Gary

They just don't make 'em like they used to huh?
Gary

That's an interesting option-pressurizing the cylinder to force the piston. However, you're trying to move all of the rotating mass using a single pressure point. Perhaps you'd have more luck if you could somehow pressurize all 6.
Just my 2 cents,
Gary

OK let us know what you find.
Thanks!
Gary

Definitely be mindful of the heat! Here in Utah it'll be triple digits regularly until September. Work early in the morning or just before sundown to maintain some progress! I made a dump run last week-always an interesting trip backing up the M37 to offload.

m-series rebuild aka Charles Talbert here on the forum has rebuilt 230s available out of NC. You might send him a PM.
