3l, in to a 2.4 body and chassis

[budweiser]

i decided to smooth out the sides, and get rid of the rubber thing of the side of it



and it will look like this, but different color



so now i got spare loads of those bits of trim of the 3l, and the 2.4

I have removed all plastic arches and that rubber strip. However I welded up the arch extension mount points and I am leaving the indent where the rubber sat as I don't fancy body filler the length of the truck.

[budweiser]

I don't fancy body filler the length of the truck.

it can be welded, or done with fiberglass

[yoshie]

Good luck welding a filler strip in.
I want an all metal narrow body finish so will leave as is with the rubber strip removed.

my mate just told me that he will give me the spare fuel tank this next week,
so i decided to fit the tow bar before it comes, simply because it will be easier to fit without the tank on, so i started grinding it, and first coat of paint, then couldn't keep on going, due rain mixed with mosquitoes (mitches), and my time is running out, need to start the day, so if weather is better i will fit it later on when i finish my task

[budweiser]

tow bar fitted, painted, copper greased bolts, nuts, plates, washers and inside chassis as far i could reach

[budweiser]

got the auxiliary fuel tank back (pipes on the right place) on to see how it fits

[budweiser]

got the wing of the damaged one, and made a template for the snorkel
it worked out well


surprised that the snorkel didn't get damaged,

[budweiser]

striping the interior,got a bit impatient and started painting the rusty bar behind the dashboard.


still more to strip

[budweiser]

i just realized that the spare tank don't have a breather, any ideas?
weld other pipe for it? or other option?
thanks

[budweiser]

any body?

[MadScott]

You're in way over my head with this, but didn't I see a breather line next to the filler on the aux tank pic?

'T' into t'other breather line...?

Nice job building your own truck, can't wait to see how it comes out.

You don't need one on the second tank because they share the same filler tube.
