Well I didnt spend too much time on it this weekend, the weather wasnt realy good for sandblasting outside. I did get the heater core pulled. It had been leaking since the orginal owner had it. He just never noticed it.
I also started working on my front bumper. It will start out as a rear bumper off my 71 crew cab. I scored a mint rear bumper at the salvage yard so I plan to cut this one up and make a front out of it. The winch plate I got with the winch will go down where the tag would have been. Chuck is going to help me out with some parts (old bumper). It will give me a bull bar plus some brush protection. I like the way its coming together. So far, $170 for winch and mounting plate, $50 for chucks bumper, = stout brush bumper.
I picked up a farm jack this weekend and I started to work on some mounts for it too.
An old army shovel was also recently rebuilt to be mounted inside with the jack.
Some pics of my work.
