Can you post pictures of these trucks. A picture says a thousand words as they say. Price will depend on condition, completeness, originality, etc. There are many variables. BTW - "I was told they all ran a few years ago", or " it ran when parked" are two pretty worn out lines fl...

I went this way; 1. Cleaned it. My truck was full of crap when I first bought it. 2. Drained and replaced all fluids... a. gas tank. b. diffs, trans, transfer, oil c. flushed radiator. d. etc 3. Got it running. 4. Worked on brakes so it would stop. 5. Replaced all tires tubes and flaps. 6. Welded up...

Ahh, the pics remind me of when I too had to weld in some new metal in that area. Your welds look much better than mine did. I was just getting used ot my Lincoln welder at the time and figured an out of the way spot like that would be forgiving of a few mistakes.

What other info are you looking for at this time? The subject of paint can be a vast one. Can you narrow down what it is you need covered?

I only voted for the first category because its the closest to my current situation at the moment. My truck sits in the garage for the most part because I am waiting for the licensing credentials to come back from the state. Once that is in the past, I plan to use it for fun drives to the store, tak...

Kevin;

How's the deuce?


Have a Happy new year...

Can't help you on the HVLP spray tip, however with regards to thinning, you will need to consult with the recommended thinning procedures per the paint manufacturer. I used Gillespie #24087 OD semi-Gloss and it is recommended that a 2 to 1 ratio of paint to thinner be used. I used NAPA Synthol #8004...

NTXT..

FYI for the younger MVers out there. NoradSanta.otg has Santa Claus located in a place called Dundee Scotland at this time. For more updates go to NoradSanta.org.


Merry Xmas!!!!

Very nice setup. How do you have the hoses routed for the defrosters?

Has anyone gotten a response to inquiries on this thread. I posted my query over two weeks ago and never got a response.

What is a tank heater? I've never heard of this before. Is this a device for extremely cold areas? If so that would explain why I have never neard of one because here in S.E Pa it never goes below 0 degrees in winter. Came close a few times ( I remember Mr. Therometer reading 2 above once or twice) ...

There are no knockout holes forthe mounting bolts.

I would like to know though why is there not holes in the bed side to mount the triangular antenna mount? I bought the mount to install and then noticed my bed side does not have four holes to mount it to. Rather than drill I simply left the mount off the truck for the time being.
