Truck looks awesome! I've tried finding a 4x4 from this body style but no luck! Keep up the good work[/QUOTE]

Thanks . To bad you weren't closer, I have another one that I need to get rid of. Its kinda rough though.

Your new bed looks awesome! Hard to believe you got it all in the mail.

When a Hard Drive crashes there are a couple of ways/reasons it will happen.
Usually for me it has been crappy power companys in craptastic corners of the world that think they are civilized and want to charge like you are living in the lap of luxury!
But like someone already said, all may not be lost!

This company has the ability to disassemble your HD and actually take the data disc out, and put it in a new chassis (usually it is the read-write heads that fail on a HD) if they cannot recover the data by other means.

All my photos and videos from Iraq are on a lap top HD that crashed, as soon as I can find it, I am sending it off to them to recover for me.

Just a thought. I know some of the info and photos alone would make such a recovery worth the expense.

Good luck on your build, hope you can keep us in new photos at least !

Wow, very nice looking paint job. Great job and keep the pics coming! If you get a chance do you know the actual paint code on your interior dash?

LIVE RUST · 03-21-2012, 07:54 PM

one more pic, hopefully buff it out and paint the bed this weekend. Ill have better pics then, working on the interior paint code

MalibuKasey · 03-21-2012, 09:10 PM

IRON CITY BEER!! I havent had that since college!

LIVE RUST · 03-27-2012, 08:14 PM

Well, here it is buffed out. Really happy with it. Bed should be painted this week and time to start putting it back together. At times I never thought I'd see the day where I was this close.

derail · 03-27-2012, 09:11 PM

I like the direction this is heading!

LIVE RUST · 04-07-2012, 09:24 PM

Few more pics, does anyone know exactly where this decal goes? I'm thinking the visor or the roof????

Looking good LIVE RUST. Can't wait to see a photo shoot of this when completed. The first picture is an original unmolested 1966 4x4 decal location. The second picture is a 1966 4x4 that was restored and decals replaced.

Thank you sir

I think I love the colour, and the dash looks amazing, nice work! Is that the aftermarket tach from LMC/Classic/etc.? I would like to add that down the road myself.

THANKS. I got lucky and found a parts truck that had the factory tach. I just noticed tonight it has the original front twisty freakin shocks. Maybe I should start parting it out.

CRGRS 66 · 04-12-2012, 02:37 AM

you should have said... "the tach, oh that old thing?" Very cool!

LIVE RUST · 04-12-2012, 09:41 PM

Gas tank came today, mocked it up and I think its gonna be ok. Very close to bedwood but should work. Once the tank is in I can start on the bed.

LIVE RUST · 04-12-2012, 09:42 PM

Im about ready to toss this computer out the window

CRGRS 66 · 04-12-2012, 09:56 PM

Live rust, i am sure it is in the thread somewhere, but what is that gas tank from, great fit, computers are like women, drive you mad at times, don't they?

Yes they can. The tank is from a 77 to 86 Jeep CJ7. I wasnt sure it would work but it appears to fit real good. Im gonna run the hoses to the right fender and put a door in it. I hope.

CRGRS 66 · 04-13-2012, 08:37 AM

I am Craig btw, that is exactly what I want to do, don't really like the idea of the fuel door in the bed. It would be great if you show us a lot of detail as you go. Thanks!

LIVE RUST · 04-13-2012, 09:19 PM

Jim here, I'll post pics as I go.

Alan's Classic · 04-13-2012, 09:26 PM

Thanks Alan, I appreciate it. Still a long way to go.

LIVE RUST · 04-17-2012, 09:12 PM

CJ7 15 gallon rear tank install. Set in place to clear rear pumpkin just in case I decide to air it out some day. Welded 1x1 angle steel rail to rail , the front lip of the tank will lay in there with a 1 inch flat strip bolted down to squeeze it. Eventually I'll isolate it with thin rubber.

Fabbed up some brackets that are welded to the rear crossmember, and will hold the tank up in the rear. It will be bolted through two holes that are located on the rear lip. The tank came this way. I used shock bushings to isolate it and let the tank move a little as the frame flexes(I hope).

LIVE RUST · 04-17-2012, 09:19 PM

The tank is bolted up from the bottom in the rear which will allow it to drop out if god forbid I ever need to take it out some day. I can also play with the height just in case I have any issues with it clearing the bed floor. Heres a couple more pics of the process.

LIVE RUST · 04-28-2012, 11:51 PM

Tanks in, what a horror show

CRGRS 66 · 04-29-2012, 01:25 PM

Tank looks great, looks like it grew there actually. Great progress!
