Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Wow. Pretty impressive to lose a bumper. Surely it'll turn up. Still making progress though. Looking good Wes.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Thank you everyone. Yes it does suck big time! I am not sure I will be able to replace it. WES

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Well I have an update on the bumper. It was located! Woooo Hoooo! However when it was delivered to me it was damaged. Part of the seam where the park lamp holes were welded in cracked and so the bumper has to go in to be repaired and re-chromed. Sucks, but whatever, sore subject now!

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Beautiful job on the NP205 Shifter. I think my reproduction shifter knob looks great also.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I think I am going to move the rear end back an inch or so. I know this is how they came from the factory, but it just isn't appealing to me.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
American Airlines once sent my dive bag to Boston instead of Barbados. Took a couple of non-diving days to get it back.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I'm glad the bumper showed up. It sucks about the damage but everything else looks great!

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Nice to see your work coming along, many things have stopped or slowed right now.
Moving forward is a great thing. |

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Little progress made. Had to pull the cab to make the modifications to the firewall. I cut the area where the clutch rod delete cap passes through because while mocking up the engine the header on the driver's side came too close to it. I will also be shaving the passenger side in preparation for an Old Air A/C unit. I am going to shave the filler neck hole while I am at it.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
That stinks to see the crack in the bumper. If it did that in a box being shipped chances are it would have done it on the truck IMO. At least you can get it fixed now.
To move your axle back without a lot of mods, get some zero rate off sets from ORD. https://www.offroaddesign.com/axle-o...hick-pair.html

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Looks good, do you prefer old air over vintage air? If so, can you tell me why? I've been pondering which I should choose.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I only have experience with Old Air. I like how the original controls can be used on their system. You just order it that way. Vintage Air might do that also, but I don't know.
