Well this is probably all for a little while. I put the new steer tires on and a pair of quarter fenders. I have some other stuff that needs to go...
Yup. If I build it into a water truck I want to have the front brakes. The main I used to remove them was for slick roads. I had one lock up on a...
I was putting on new steer tires and thought I better have a look at the wheel bearings. I figured I would have to replace them but they were...
No problem. I was hoping I didn't have a check engine light! lol
Outside for a bit. [ATTACH]
I finally put the sleeper on. The truck will get the vortox style air cleaners that I replaced on my 97 W9L. [ATTACH]
Smallpackage - Here's my plan for the door handle. I thought I posted this before but I can't find it. My apologies if this is a double.
Mine had the tank under the passenger seat. I took it out and put a different tank under the drivers step. I plumbed it in the same as it was. I...

I decided to replace the floor. There were a bunch of holes in it and it was oil saturated as well. I used 1" plywood and varnished it on both...
Thanks. I should add that I put on the side step brackets. They are off of a W900L and they are are 3 or 4 inches lower. It makes a big difference...
Here's the passenger side box. It has a cool feature that I always thought about doing on an A model but never did. I might add a T-handle latch...
This is out of order but I wanted to show the battery box. When I picked up the truck, there was one battery that wouldn't take a jump. I brought...
I know this is an old thread but I just found it. My experience has been that the best and most dependable trucks were made from the mid 90's to...
My A Model has aluminum C channel instead of the steel square tube for the lower frame that I see on yours. I'm pretty sure that no has ever been...
I had to replace all the air bags and shocks and brake cans. It only had maxis on the back axle so I added them to the front drive axle as well. I...
