Very nice and glad to hear the cab is really close! Your shock links and mounts are nicer than most people's suspensions.

Cheers Ryan, I got it all stripped out last night so now off for satin black powdercoat, chassis fabrication all done now so next job is to paint the chassis

Yup! Ryan is right on target. Your detail to work is right up there with the best of them! And no melodrama involved!

Looking good Steve, I'm just getting caught up after being without net for a couple months, you're making some nice progress

Cheers Steve, I've gone for a more subtle look on the truck, all the running gear is satin black with just a few stainless fasteners and joints, I wanted an older look on this one

Hi Bob , glad to see you back buddy, thought I hadn't seen you around for a while, must of been hell without Internet
.

Not much to post as got chassis in epoxy primer and it's taking a while to flat back ready for paint but I've done a few bits
first made up a brass adjuster for generator/alternator








Got my column back from powder coater, it's all stainless with Torrington races, originally had polished it but decided satin black was more suited and classy










.

I love the style you add to your great fab work, keep them pics coming!!

Rich

Exactly what Rich said! That looks out standing!

Chassis now covered in epoxy primer, had to roller it on as got told by specialist no spraying 2K at the moment, next hi build primer and smooth out a few bits and then some satin black 2K






.

Got the skimming all done, frame was quite pitted in places, I wasn't to precious and only did it back as far as the firewall, the rest just got several coats of epoxy primer and flatted off, next epoxy primer and topcoat






.

That's going to look great Steve!

Well my replacement main leaves for my front springs arrived from jones. Springs today, only took them 3 days, good company to deal with. They had to be shortened 3'' at the front to bring the shackle inside the front panel, they also made me up a couple of extra intermediate leaves so I can fine tune the front springs







The workshop is now sheeted up ready to paint the chassis, as usual got let down by a mate so my old mate Allan has stepped forward and took a day off on Tuesday to paint it for me, thanks Allan.
funny how mates always turn up when your doing something for them !!! One for the memory bank I think

Okay, I realize I have been out of the sales industry for a few years now and when I was, one of our main product lines was 3M ( Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing ) so I have to ask, is there a fourth "M" added to their name or is that another supplier who is playing on 3M's reputation with the drop sheet ?
