I got tired of a 12 x 14 barn style door with no insulation and having to shovel out from in front of it to plow snow that was a joke !! best money I have spent. Dumpy will make a showing before leaves turn I promise just not lots of time this year so far. I will find the linkage parts and pull them and bring them. what parts do you need exactly ? just the stock parts from the pedal to the throwout lever ? I will probably pull it off the air force truck you got the shocks off of.

Both pins with the link rod and the plate that holds the spring to the pin. Thats it that I know of...........I am sure there will be more at some point but I will come up.

Spent all day painting the bed. After we were done, we started adding some parts and dad painted the wheels so we fired her up and rolled her out for some more pics

Hi Jeff,
The crushed limestone driveway is getting your tires all dirty! It is looking awesome, cant wait to see it in person sometime.
How did your get together go this weekend? Sorry I didnt make it out, Friday was a zoo, and I actually drove past Northfield at about 5:30 Saturday Morning on my way to Maine to pick up my daughter at summer camp. Hope that rain didnt dampen any spirits.

He's in Vermont, Tim. My guess is that it's crushed granite, like my driveway down here in Elberton, GA...the self-proclaimed "Granite Capital of the World."

Tim is from Vermont also and he is right, its limestone.

Okay. I'll admit I was mistaken. I used to work in a limestone quarry, hauling from the pit to the crusher. Now, I'm surrounded by granite quarries. I just assumed that it could be crushed granite because I know that granite is a major part of Vermont's economy...or used to be at any rate. Between the two, limestone is a lot messier to work with! (Breathing all that dust could be part of the COPD problem I have now, come to think of it.)

PROGRESS!!!!!

I just want to know how does the average joe MV collector do this stuff without a 5 ton Wrecker!!!!!! I know us "village iddiots" manage very well WITH one!!!!!!

Progress Test....................operational check OK!!!!!:)

Congrats! Your making a truck! Looks good and it sounded good (ok the siren) too.

Nice

Spent the day hooking up the fording and throttle cable. I also finnished running the wiring through the clamps and we installed the windshield frame and ran the vaccume lines...........my back is killing me from being under the dash all afternoon but its worth it!!!

Came home from Weare NH today. I dropped some goodies off for the M37 and found day playing with some of the tools that will be in the truck

Spent the day yesterday finnishing the electrical wiring and hooking up the lights. Still have no brake or service lights up front (no turn signals on this ole girl). Learning to hate pusing douglas connectors together . We have a canadian harness in ours that I got YEARS AGO. Its been really handy as I am finding. It has a power wire that runs to the tail where if I wanted I could have power to a plate light (used to be the blackout light for the rear axle diff) I have a couple of sources for power for a dome light so thats going to be a power source for the Map light receptacle on the passenger side. Headed to the DMV tomorrow to finally get her registered. Pulled out the bill of sale a couple days ago. Had her 15 years on the 11th of july. Guess I let 3 deuces and 3 five tons and a M151 get in the way of finnishing her. I finnished off the day of installing the two antennas and getting our windshield frames ready for the trip to the glass shop. Today I gave a heads up to rick larsen that I am about to order my remaining stencils needed for the M-37. I did not hear a thud as he fell of the chair that I expected to hear as this phone call has been a long time comming. (RICK, E-MAIL SENT TONIGHT!) Hope to take her on her first trip to someones house who has been my parts supporter, technical advisor and friend all these years so I can say
" See george, I got it driving before you kicked the bucket" Lord knows I have been hearing it the other way around for a long time
