Just building a farm truck.

Got some doors hung. Bedside wood is all stained and teak oiled.

They have those plastic things that hold the end of the cable on the slider, well they break. I have a second one I can probably make one good one, wonder if someone is printing that part by now? Or is there another way to fix it? Haven't messed with it for awhile.

"it has square headlights, it's not a real jeep" Can I have your climate control? 😁

Should be a good 5' paint job, I can see and am looking for all the flaws in the layers with a light. Staining the bed side wood with paint and acetone to match the bed wood.

Clouds were abundant here in Riverdale. Completely blocked out for the ring.

Albert has been tackling the bedside wood still, redid the passenger side cause of some bowed wood. Then he went and took a router to the edges and cleaned it up. Took it over to the truck to mock it up once more and mark the holes for holding it in the stake pockets. I like it, now we'll...

Couple of Alberts basement beds are currently holding painted 40 Ford parts. 😄

Was thinking the other day, well the good thing about not being done yet, still low (no) miles. 😄 I wasn't intending to build a trailer queen either. Dads 40 has been done for 20 years and has just over 5,000 miles on it.

I have a light I use in winter that is helpful, there is some good Huberman lab stuff about this. https://www.hubermanlab.com/newsletter/using-light-for-health I'm getting my snow shoes out and planning some cabin winter trips already, probably solo.

I'm doing a bit better, now that I know what I'm dealing with, just raw dogging it, no meds for me unless I get worse. I've been focused more on getting good sleep, poor sleep really wrecks me. I realize my truck project is negatively effecting me as well, it is just a second job, provides no...

Look forward to seeing the whole thing assembled and in the sun.

No doubt, I'm letting my brother handle it, that way it's on him if anything gets messed up, there's imperfections no doubt but oh well, overall I'm more than happy with it all.

Little bit each day, whatever it takes, so much to do still.

This here is some of the finished interior panels, used ABS plastic, wrapped in foam and leather, installed some clips to snap it all in. I like seeing shiny stuff come together Should be dialed in close to ride height, that'll change some with wheels and tires and final adjustments. You can...

You can't buy reproduction fenders for these except in fiberglass, good steel originals are worth a lot. Everyone seems to be looking for that rear passenger one.

One of my 40 friends (Billy) out of Kentucky lost control and wrecked his, he's okay, truck is totaled, makes me sad. 😥 Super nice guy, the hood ornament on mine I got from him many years ago.

Was looking at to do items on the truck today and before everything gets hidden and or covered/cleaned up. I kept the original seat riser in the truck, we built some hinged seat pans that the seats bolt to, gives me access underneath pretty easily, under the passenger side I'll be hiding a...

Been a change of plans for Autorama, I think we will just focus on my truck alone. We will get the 40's together another time elsewhere. This here is one of my dads high school friends, his name was Lee, I believe he spent his life as a Sherriff and passed away many years back. What year is...

I'm keeping my YJ but trade for a boat? 😄
