Looks good. I had the same fight with the tires. I tried quite a few things but nothing would budge them. Thankfully the local truck tire shop was willing to break them down, and did so without damaging anything.
I’m looking forward to watching your truck go back together. It’s always a good feeling on any project when you turn the corner from disassemble and clean/ repair to putting everything back together again. ![]() Cheers, Rob |

With a makeshift rotisserie, I got some frame paint on today. Hoping for decent weather tomorrow to spray some semi gloss OD.

I like the rotisserie, a nice piece of innovation but it took me a moment to work out what the ladder and ridge pole was for.
It is amazing how a coat of paint cheers things up. Soon you will be building up a 'new' truck. David |

I was working under the threat of a rogue rain cloud coming by, so a plan for quick cover was necessary. Yes I agree, a bit of paint cheers things up, and gets me one step closer to another milestone.

Great alternate use for a cargo tarp, Wayne! A little higher and you could get one heck of a family gathering dinner table under it!

Not a cargo tarp, but a center section of modular. They are perfect for this type of thing.....hard to find a better tarp for corded firewood.

Nice job Wayne. Were you able to spot the hand-stamped serial number on the outer left frame rail near the forward rear spring hanger? Faintly stamped and should match the glove box door serial number.

Hi Brian. Yes the s/n was clearly visible and does match my data plates.

Isn’t the tire supposed to go in the cage ? Lol
Cage isn’t going to protect the guy taking the picture....

Sorry to be critical, but I can't say I am a fan of using those Michelin radials on a restoration that is at this level.
