I had a productive day. Chopped up the M37 cab and now I have two partial cabs that I need to put back together as one. Once I get the cab properly mounted the rest should be easier. (Famous last words)

Another day of wiring, got the autometer temp sensor installed in the passenger side head, and worked on connecting the engine harness to the PCM relays!

Got the M37 cab into the shop after chopping out the floor. My brother came up from Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and brought a nice electric hoist and wanted to give it to me as he has two. So I gave him a check for less than it was worth as a compromise. Getting the two pieces together, the Chevy floor/firewall and the M37 cab, is going to be the tough part of the build, but getting them in close proximity I can see better how it's going to happen.

Just went with my SIL & got this '85 K10 CUCV axle swap. 454, 4-speed...I'm ready to put it in the woods!
The PO was using it down at Wilmington & Jacksonville at the mud pits. It's healthy & I'm ready!

Covered up ugly wiring behind my new radio hole. Drove to Boulder CO and back. New sticker works fine.

I sand blasted the backside of 2 stock rally rims off my 81. They cleaned up pretty nice. Got them in primer now and I’ll rattle can them back to close to Argent Silver once I get the fronts done. I’m trying Krylon silver metallic. I need new rubber on all 4 so I figured this was a good time for a refresh.

Plastic door lock buttons died from the sun.
Made cool replacements out of 30 30 cartridges. Arrow tip inserts that accept broad

head or field points mate well to the cartridge neck. Whole process took minutes. 30 06 would also work. Redrill the arrow tip receiver to 9/64,tap to match the 10 24 door rod. Swage neck w/ flaring tool.
Bet you could sell a bunch of these

Finally put the radiator in from my neighbor he gave me years ago. The other one has a leak. Had to beat a dent in the core support to get the cap to screw on. Lol

Gotta get some heater hose tomorrow. Then I'll be able to fill and start it up to see if he leaks.

All the parts are on, only thing left to do is make all the lights work again, put the bumper on, and then I can finally turn some rubber down the road. Can't wait to get it all wrapped up
