America.Mike · « **on:** November 21, 2019, 03:29:46 AM »

I figured I should start a build thread here. It’s a 1984 m1009. The truck was a pile of junk when purchased. It needed new bedsides, floors, rockers and lower b pillars. The windshield area was toast and so was alot of other things.

I completely disassembled the truck down to the last bolt. Fixed all the panels and blasted frame and all drivetrain parts. I will be posting photos of the build and update info of parts used.

Mike, maybe take a minute when you get time and post up under the Site Rules and introductions forum it’s the first one at top of main forum page. Give the rest of these guys a little bit on your back ground for those who don’t know you.

For the record knowing me already has one strike or two against you!

He does not (not that I’m aware of anyhow). However, you inadvertently helped with his gear install after selling the parts, runout issue I think on carrier if I recall correctly

Come on Mike, feed us the pics. I might need them shortly.
In the ones you posted it looks like you did away with the fan. I assume to keep from having to cut the firewall?
Also looks like you didn't want to cut the frame for the AC compressor?

stlaser · « **Reply #17 on:** December 01, 2019, 05:36:55 PM »

Ken, we need pics on your latest purchase / build.

Just for the record I wasn’t asking for more pics of the HH RCTT......

Mike, you need to post up something...The natives are getting restless and already junkin' up your freshly painted build thread. Won't be long and they will have drifted to recipes or who knows what.

Get something up before we loose this to these boneheads! ;-)
