Re: R2 crash truck
Truck is closer to transplant. Only a couple of more things to remove for reconditioning. Then put it all back in.

Re: R2 crash truck
I have enjoyed following your work progress and am curious as to what you are using to coat the front end of the frame?

Re: R2 crash truck
Wire wheeled the loose rust off the used Rustoleum rust converter on it. then semi gloss black. Getting front ready to hang motor. Get paint on it to make stuff later easier to do. Hope to have 3rd members back in axles next weekend as well as redone xfer case. Then back on frame.

Re: R2 crash truck
Today was going to put in rebuilt drive shafts. Only got the front one on. And you can see why. Probably the last nice day till spring that I'll get outside to work on her. And it was wasted.
