1980 K100 Cabover Project/daily runner

You can't access the threading door hinges on this '48. I heat the 5/16" screws. Screws are a real ##### because apply torque damages head. Same with disassembling K model IHC's. They use 2 dozen nutserts assembling front clip. I don't heat the nutsert as I don't want sheet metal getting hot. If you have fibreglass or aluminum to deal with only penetrating oil and patience.

 

Please dont take er the wrong way Pard, but ya should do that ol gal proud with a nice shiny paint job. It really aint that hard, can do er cheap also with some fleet tractor enamel. That stuff is pretty tough and shines like hail! Either way, good lookin 108" brother! I dig olive drab myself also but I really aint sure iffin I could do it to an old K100...lol. Its your ride tho, and as long as yer happy, thats all that matters! Ya kin tell Ol Grubby ta shut the hail up, I can take it! Ha Ha

 

Steel bolts through an aluminum frame and road salt. My '85 F/L broke the lefthand frame rail between the bolts for the bracket at the rear of the front spring.

 

Hey @Adisiwaya where ya located? Any where near northern Ohio?

 

I used Utech epoxy primer to paint a sandblasted truck frame few years back. It is incredibly durable and topcoat with industrial black paint. The industrial paint I thinned with naphtha gas to reduce the sheen in the paint.
FYI the olive drab is a great colour for the underside of your visor. Back in the day all Fulton visors were olive drab on the underside to reduce glare. Top side was colour of vehicle.

 

Oh I can understand that bro, iffin yer ever around NW Ohio when ya get er up n goin, gimme a shout and we will shoot er here for ya...
