  1. spent a little time with a small toy for power to FEF's new home.
  2. Some parts back from the plater: rear door inner handle vents valve cover
  3. remember to work outside in and not in the center!
  4. Yah I know they slide...LOL I never use mine (even in modern vehicles). I had mine redone at a local shop, not 100% orginal materials, but close enough for the looky loos.
  5. Depending on how the gap is on the rest of the door and body line, you might have to bend the hinges to get it to twist up. Top hinge bent/pushed forward will lift the rear bottom of the door, but it also plays the gap a bit all around.
  6. Before you drill mount the whole front so the center section is fixed for flex. Mark and drill after that. The center can flex a lot with not being fixed at both ends. Just saying.
  7. It SHOULD sit flush in some orientation. What I see a lot (and maybe here) is this area cracks and causes a change in curvature making this happen if you didn't align first with an ornament before fixing the stress crack. And since you don't have the nose on yet the center section can droop down.
  8. Dodge "Cream" is the official color. Several people have come up with options for it. I found in a forum search the following for you to review: and several in here:
  9. A shop manual and parts book are also nice tools to decipher how some things go back together.
  10. No idea on the angle vs. straight bit...might have been a common thing to change back in the day or maybe different plant did differnt things? Regardless it will work in any orientation!
  11. FEF's was angled as well. All I've taken off trucks have been angled as well?
  12. Of course I tossed that info a few weeks ago. I'll see if I can get ahold of him a harder way.
  13. Make sure you allow enough room on the floor for the transfercase and shifter allowing for a little engine twist. Looking good!
  14. During winter I hop in and work the brakes every month JIC!
  15. You can actually rebuild the pump yourself, it's not that complicated and you should be able to buy the rebuild kit.
  16. I did about every 4", but I also utilized a bead roller to add stiffness and was using 16ga steel.
  17. I had a fuel pump puke on me and get gas in the oil, drained and let it vent out for a few days and put in new oil and filter and been good for 9+ years.
  18. I believe the seats were all the same size, parts book search would confirm and that's out in the shop right now
  19. You would need to ask GTK, the site owner, I'm sure more funds are always welcome.
  20. Did you have a gasket in there or just the sealant? Still looks liek burned coolant to me....but?
  21. If I remember right, there was a place that was recasting the steering wheels, someplace in England maybe? As for your alternate there, spline count and diameter will tell you if it will fit. And of course be mindful of scammers.
  22. To button up this thread: I have decided to end the project where it stands and get the parts to those in need vs. a trailer I'll (now) never use. FB Marketplace for the frame and the rest here one way or another.
