Looks great steve.
Replaced the oil pan gasket on the 60 today....it was fairly easy...thanks to Marshalls tip on gettin the gasket to stay on the pan while I bolted it back on....I did paint it black and red but ran out of time to take a picture....no more oil leak...it was a good day!
Well.... David , Scott and I got alot done on Saturday and then David got alot more done on Sunday.
The 40 will live again, Soon.
Engine moved off the trailer, pressure washed,de greased,tranny and bell housing pulled. Mounted on the engine stand.A coat of paint(ford blue and Sun yellow). New oil pan gasket, side cover gasket,intake/exhaust gasket(won at GSMTR). Also got the newly painted header installed. The Downey header was originally chrome but had some issues with the finish so it got a light sanding and some high temp black paint. Wont be long and well be ready to install the motor back into the truck.
Thanks to everyone who has helped out. I am soooo looking forward to that first drive in the 40.

A few more shots from this weekend.
The night pic's dont do the color justice. Here is a shot that gives the true color. The valve cover is going yellow also. Oh and by the way, Marshall this paint job is your fault.

So I finally got my belt/steering pump mess fixed. The alternator was mounted correctly, but my dumbass probably installed the belt wrong where it goes over the fan clutch. It's one of those blindspot areas and I guess I didn't check it "by feel" the first time. When the belt gave way last week the kevlar strands got stuck in the main seal around the steering pump pulley's shaft. The pump leaked out all the fluid. So Saturday I rebuilt the steering pump and discovered that it's impossibly small for the amount of pressure it develops. The vanes in this one are just centrifugal, no springs behind them. Some shots of the innards...

new tires...decided on the hankook (spelling?) M/T's. Very similar to the KM2's from looking at them and much better at 60-65mph on the 40 than the previous mud treks.
No more death wobble!!!
also picked up a new set of OME front 2.5" lift springs.
may go on as early as this weekend.

Those look awesome. Great pics.

the tires are OK...the feeling of hitting 55+ without death wobble is a feeling that pics cannot describe!
Can you draw us a picture of what they look like?
The words aren't describing it either... pics at least prove you have this truck?
Invite a friend over who can work a camera... we like pics!

we need more than "a pic" we need multiple pics from several angels for verification purposes.....
yes, mutiple pics. You cant own a cruiser and not own a camera. Actually you can, you just cant talk about it on mud!
"Nice details on the blades of death there coming along nicely"
I appreciate it. We were going for the old school propeller look. WTH it needed paint anyway.
and as previously stated....It's Marshall's fault!
