My "New" 1999 Pete

Update! Yay!

This is the current status of the truck:


Hood is off to paint, all of the wheels are polished and back on and torqued down.. hub covers/lug nut covers installed.. Old decals stripped off of it! This weekend the paint is getting buffed and other little things here and there.. Should be going in the shop next week for the hood to get re-installed and the power take off installed! My Dad said this thing should be on the road October 3rd and I can't wait! Thanks to everyone who has followed this little thread and supported me along the way! I really appreciate all of the kind words.

 

............. Eventually

I am sick of polishing lol. They'll get alumabrite for sure then someday polish.

 

Power Take Off has been installed, also got the custom made hydraulic oil tank mounted. It's made to look just like the toolbox on the passenger side of the truck. It looks really cool! The hood and fairings will be painted and re-installed this week. It has been fully serviced and is ready to go mechanically. It should be getting lettered next Monday and I should be working in it the next day! I vacuumed it today and my dad cleaned all of the aluminum, besides the polished wheels of course. Got a two plate front license plate holder installed and polished the bumper quick. It's almost done folks!

 

I'm actually very positive that's what we are going to do. We are gunna run it for a bit the way it is now and eventually replace it!

 

Well guys, it'a DONE and I am in progress with my first trip with it! Put down 531 miles today, and I'm on my way to Ohio. So far so good! It runs really good. Very happy so far!
