Mr. Green's latest activity

In an effort to procrastinate grinding and welding underneath the truck to install the fuel tank, I installed some factory steps and the original jack and hardware.

The boy has decided to work on the quarters. He went to work on the rust and now he's sanding in preparation for paint. We have discovered the old "new" paintjob is a close enough match to rustoleum red from Home Depot. So he's planning on...

Still for sale, need these gone before June comes or they get scrapped. Price is for all five.

Okay, Thank you all for the input. Going to start and make rocker and quarter line up, thats the only way and Yes probable cut rear and re-fit . I'll post my progress

Keep fitting cutting and refitting until it’s within clamping distance. I just went through this on both driver and passenger sides. In mine I Had to use strap to close distance from b pillar to dash. Yours looks square so more trimming I think...

Okay I see what your talking about. Well I just ordered the bushing kit, I want to do it right.

This is what I meant.

Looks like you have the CCOT center support Channel. I had to cut my mounts and redo them to fit it so just a heads up if you do get that kit.

Forgot to answer your second question but I had Reel Steel panels and some were not matched as well as they should have. Particularly the sill and panels curvature. I think part of it though is variance in dimensions from factory as it’s turning...

Good on you for saving it. I literally ended up saving tub rails by the time I cut it all out. I can measure tomorrow but I bought a $120 kit for all poly body mounts from Daystsr. Thinking it’s about 1/2”. Lots of options out there. You...

Looking for a set for both doors and windshield. Thanks.

SPIES and the other was Zook’s. Spies is a larger business dealing with blasting all sizes. They also specialize in paint. They blasted my frame. Zook’s is a guy running a local business but fun to chat with. We talked Costa Rican 40s for a...

I would cut flatten then reweld it. Probably will improve but never going to get back to zero deformation. I tried for hours to flatten mine. In the end, cut tossed in trash and replaced with new. Luckily I was tearing down anyway.

@pb4ugo - thanks, and totally agreed. It's a tough decision and ultimately i will make it. I've been thinking a lot about what it will look like with the top off (which is why i don't want anything that wraps around the back of the rig). I...

many. Where are you located? I used two nearby FDL. $300 for the frame. $350 for tub.

Big progress day today. I’ll hit the highlights - finished up seat recoverings and installed - bled front brakes and master cyl (capped rear because I don’t have the right flex line) my 9 year old ram the pedal for me. His first time bleeding...

I think this was discussed in another thread DOT requirement on larger/SAE bolt size due to seat belt anchor point..

Likely still air in there or you have a leak. Especially since you said its reservoir went empty on you previously. If you want someone to pick it up for free let me know. Lol.

I had this happen and realized two things, first was the birf was 180 from my install and rotating it I could get it out. Ground it further then tried again. Second was inserting shaft all the way into diff pushed the birf up into slight...

These two wheels are the first from left in my arrangement.

Based on my photos it is top.

Your sides should end up near flush. I am a half step behind you in this process and am fitting it up and found it really helps to square and determine where to make adjustments with all the pieces loose fitting.

Tires and rims for sale. Really, rims for sale but you get tires thrown in on the deal. Was running them on my 74 FJ40 stock axles before going through rebuild. 3 x BFG KO2s and 2x GY MTR. Both load range C. Tires are old so good for run around...

More body work and panel adjustment Seems to never end but I’m making progress. Finally have both wheel wells mocked up. Also made a trip to the machine shop to BS with the guys there and see the progress on the block. Freshly bored cylinders...

Watch this in detail. It will help I promise. Should be pinned if you ask me.
