John. I have the speedo, gas tank, seats, & interior panels. I need to get box big enough to send you the gas tank, I’ll probably put the speedo in there. I’ll get those out in the next day or so. I’ve been slacking.
Sent a few parts in early Dec. Franz said they arrived on Dec 7th (bottom of page 8). They got there right before the disk brakes arrived. I know the wiper motor and linkages where in that box, I’ll check on the rest. Printed a list, which was in the box, so I can confirm when I get home tonight.
New wiring harness for sure. I want to minimize the risk of electrical gremlins and fire, so I wanna start fresh with the wiring.
Can’t believe we are talking about assembly!
Only send that gas tank if it’s really really really nice… Otherwise, I suggest a new one… OK, I will find those parts… they are here somewhere…
Chris has been starting the sorting and cleaning of parts for assy…. I am talking about assy mostly for organizational purposes… and to hopefully nail a good parts order and not be missing stuff… I’m gonna keep painting parts all week and try to make a kit out of it!!! For easy assembly!
Your backing plates for the rear are beat the fuck up… I’m gonna have to go through some of my stuff and try and find a better pair!!! Disc brakes up front!!! Big nuts brakes out back… Your bus is gonna stop soooo awesome!!!! 😎

Now.. back to this awesome color.. L21 😎 So So SO gad you choose this color!!!! 😎 It came out fucking tit’s….. I mean.. like wow…. 😎 LOVE those spot welds on the apron!!!!!! sexy shit right there!!!!!! 😎 No bondo apron. means longer lasting apron… 😎
Just like Krylon… ” No runs, no drips, no error’s” 😎
Retired 😎 😎
The tank is new and the petcock was rebuilt last year. The OG tank had leak where the tank met the neck. When that leaks on a DC, the cab fills with fumes and everyone gets a headache. First thing I replaced.
Gotta have good brakes. I have 2 little Double Cab fans at home in booster seats that I want to be safe. They’re the ones that need to take care of this ride when I’m gone.
Removeables look saaaaweat!
Doors look amazing! I have been geting all you’re hard ware sn dood meks togather an painted.👌

There is a lot of MF’ing tires out there and I don’t know squat about them. Franz can you take a look at these:
P205/75R-15
-HANKOOK OPTIMO https://simpletire.com/hankook-p205-75r15-1010990-tires
-HANKOOK KINERGY ST https://simpletire.com/hankook-205-75r15-1022043-tires these have a high load rating than the OPTIMO
I also found some 195/15 that the “cool kids” on TS were chatting up.
-THUNDERER RANGER https://simpletire.com/thunderer-195-r15c-th0315-tires?stmodel=ranger-r101&stcategory=other&sttype=light-truck&msclkid=d8b73f1784241dc96c6d634d9f11c02d&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Finch%20Shopping%3A%2018685%20US%203&utm_term=4579191051929303&utm_content=104833%3A%20Thunderer%20Ranger%20R101%20Tires%20195%2FR15C%20106P%20TH0315&utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_content=85386-VigLink+Content&awc=15439_1554059104_9bc42c9a101dde8b7aed2db40abc5b96
Let me know if any of these are suitable and I can order and have’em sent to the shop.
…..Can’t believe we are talking about assembly!
Gonna go REALLY fast now! Exciting stuff.
Love the Pearl Grey 🙂
GATES today! Pat was already sanding when I got up!!! I love that!!!! 😎
I’ll put Chris on the hunt for the box.. but I bet it’s under the bench by the front door…. 😎 That’s a lot of stuff we need right there!!!
Everything is in order….. well keep moving along !!!!!!! 😎 Oh… I got them checks too!!!! Thanks Mike!!!!!
Retired 😎 😎
Box found!!!!! 😎

Box found!!!!!
Great to hear. I hope the box that contains my OG windows is hiding in a safe place as well 😎 That one was in the bus when I dropped the rig off.
Finished sanding and prepping. Gates are in the booth now ready for sealer and paint.
We will build it if it comes.
Box of glass is here also! Gates are sealed.. they look like NOS gates…. 😎
Pat is prepping more parts for body color session… and I plan on doing a black session in the dirty shop later.. assembly parts.. 😎 😎
Retired 😎 😎
Gates are not gonna cut it…. 😎 I was hoping to not have to block these out.,. but they simply don’t match the rest of the truck…. 😎 Gotta block em… Like usual… I tried to save a step here, and it didn’t save shit…. I’m gonna let the epoxy dry and block out… paint tomorrow hopefully… But we can keep on painting little things!!!!! 😎
Retired 😎 😎
