I've already got plans together in my head. I need to make sure there's space for my daughter's seat and also our camping gear. I don't want to fill the whole bed with crane and leave no space for anything else. It won't have a winch like the bomb truck as all I need is the beam to hang the dolly and chain hoist from. The rear section, sticking out beyond the back of the truck, needs to fold inside the bed, as with the space and units in the garage, there isn't the length to have it sticking out the back permanently.

how about a bigger garage or you could knock out say 6 bricks on back wall and stick the crane out side then a hanging basket 😄

take a look at the Chevrolet  bomb truck and make one like that 

Been down at Malvern show this weekend and what a pair of finds a nice fat ford back prop and a ford wing black out lamp in its box working so this week coming i am going to finished the gear box and t.case repaint the frame and fit the transmission then i am going to restore a ford body will put up some photos tomorrow   

what's a spare weekend not long been in working on my next jeep the 1945 ford  and its Malvern show next week are you going will see you there

did you take your jeep

you are running a carter carb i think you need to strip down clean and rebuild get yourself a metering rod gauge from joes motor pool and a new accelerator pump piston reset the float  that is were i would start on youtube there is videos on how to rebuild and set them up i bet there is muck in one or more of the jets    

could be the valves in the pump i have had this before you need to get them the correct way  

yes its a nice kit a hell of a lot of parts have just ordered a Sherman M4A4 to go on the back 

Today had a sort out as my kits were all over the place and took some photos what kit do you think i should do next all the best jerry

i had this with a dodge you could start it leave it running all day but when you took it out it would just stop running and it was rust in the tank that blocked the pick up pipe take a look inside through the float sender hole  

i have had this before and it was the lead from the gen to the regulator i re wired it and it was fine would be worth testing it 

There should be a hole just behind the back of the  foot step  look this photo is from a m38 jeep but is the same other side 

Hi steviem are you going the the victory show if so will bring the m43 jacket with me will be selling some parts on grahams stall 

all the blackout lights were 6volt you need to get the same type of bulb holder as the panel lamp smash out the old bulb and then you can push the new holder in and fit it with a 12 volt unit  

if you fit the springs from an m38 jeep the bottom end is forked shape so you can fit them from the top or just get ww2 type and cut the bottom out of the pivot hole 

yes only early jeeps had the spring  the screw hole for the lock plate was left open also the data plates were screwed on with a pressed type nut you can get them i think jeeparts have them 

late jeeps had a much higher catch witch did away with the lock plate 

just spread the legs out a bit so you do not need to drill extra holes that's what i do

i don't you have enough trouble just with the wings and grill then add the   anti squeak best of luck 

fit under the grill other wise the fitting bolts will damage the hood 

no..... you might have to cut the square part back as the repro light bolts are to long 

This week end got some time to work on my jeep breaks and pipes and rebuilt the ford steering box need to blast the rest of the f axle bits and finish off then its mock up an engine and gearbox so i can make the deep mud exhaust out the back only way to do this without getting one shipped from the good old USA at a lot of $$$ is make one from an m38 pipe set i have made one before this way and it works out ok a bit of cutting and welding   

yes its ok but if the t90 box is to stay i will have to move the centre cross member back a bit  

Its has been a a bit slow working on my jeep as i had a engine rebuild that came in last thing but today its back to it and finished off the front axle crown wheel and paint it and fit it in the jeep next job is to  blast and paint the rest of the bits and fit brakes, pipes  and steering also had anther jeep come in to be rebuilt its fitted with a t90 gearbox i don't know if we will keep it  time will tell some of the work has already been done front bumper guests and back tow frame
