I wish I had the time and drive to make the progress you've made in such a short time, Ben-well done! Gary To be fair I am very lucky that my partner and daughter are so understanding. I also guess I have an OCD ... I need to get on and sort any issue / problem / task that I know needs doing. I eve...

Ben, You truck is really coming along well! I am amazed how you are able to work in that garage of yours. I noticed you mentioned that you had left the PCV system plugged because it "was found to introduce problems". I'd suggest you hook it up. You don't need all of the fording valves, ju...

Exterior is basically now done - all stencils added http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190804_133321-e1565006405500.jpg http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190804_133345-e1565006455853.jpg http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190804_133352-e15...

I thought that the part of the fording kit and was found to introduce problems hence why it has been blocked off?

So, weekend progress. Fuel Pump changed and temporary vacuum pipes fitted for wipers. Time - 15 minutes ( I had prepared my copper pipes whilst watching TV One of the issues I had been suffering was that when turned off the truck; I would get a trickle of a oily petrol from the overflow pipe of the ...

Just discovered why I have fuel leak, hole in metal return pipe. Will try some liquid metal, failing that will order new filler neck. update - it appears that my fuel cap was a NON Valve type and there is definitely a hole somewhere within the diaphram of my current fuel pump - these together has re...

I am so glad my dash only required a light sanding. Today ordered an assortment of copper pipe connectors so I can remake the vacuum pipes so I can fit my fuel pump. I also have incoming the smaller vent pipe as for love nor money have I managed to stop the small leak it has (After running truck for...

Weekend jobs, finish scuttle, repaint dash http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/IMG_20190721_093143-e1563796609184.jpg http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/IMG_20190721_093139-e1563796635718.jpg Going to do instrument panel once my new gauges arrive. http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-...

Very nice

Not much progress this week - weather bad and been busy Last exterior panel prepped - bit more sanding, then paint. http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/IMG_20190715_195935-e1563441846436.jpg New relectors bringing new life - now to apply 'do not overfill' http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-conten...

No much to report apart from trying to resolve an annoying fuel leak - when I turn the truck off I get a dribble of fuel for a moment from the small overflow pipe on the filler pipe. I have repositioned and tighted the clamp but just can't stop it - new hose and a better design of clamp are incoming...

And VPW gouges one on the price of nuts and bolts-I had to cough up $5 + shipping for a lone transfer case yoke nut, and that was 10 years ago. Gary When I was sent the wrong tie rod ends to the UK and then had to get them to send right ones I had to spend another $70 !! .. plus another $50 to send...

Most excellent progress. The dual MC brake upgrade. Is that an off the shelf kit - do you have details as to what route you went.

Found my answer in the SNLG-502. Stock Number G121-0314548, Nut, Brake Hose (Hex., S., 5/8-18). VPW could definitely have labeled it better but I think for a buck and a half just add it to the damn order! You KNOW it will be needed!! you sure they don't do it as a combined kit? - I normally ask for...

Nice, what are your plans for it?
