ComancheKid45 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Posted November 28, 2010 Made something else work today too :smart: 8)
ComancheKid45 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 Well the other radio worked but would cut out completly over half volume so I came across another and this 1 had a cassette player (fancy) So in it went. Paint and wheels/alignment are on the horizon then this may possibly be passed onto my father for a general work truck for around the house. :thumbsup: Stay tuned...not quite done yet ;)
shawn Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 thats a good looking little truck -and a very good save on your part !
ComancheKid45 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Sorry for no updates on this monster recently. However it appears it will be staying in the family and has been used by my Father a time or 2 over this winter as for what he has deemed his "Wood Truck" When the weather gives me alittle time frame This truck will be sprayed in Krylon Desert Tan (per his request) then itll be giving a nice interior/exterior cleaning. So I havent given up on this poor fella and it has many happy years to come under my watchfull eye :D
ComancheKid45 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Finally gave this fella some attention today, Hopefully with the cold weather gone I can now focus on giving this guy a nice coat of paint. I will be rolling/brushing on a color called Carmel, its a nice mellow Browish/tan and should go great on a primary work truck ;) I spent some time this evening removing the rest of the decals and glue left behind from the emblems. I hope to possibly have this thing painted this week sometime but we'll see.... I'm just glad for the nicer weather to acctually get to work on it. :clapping:
ComancheKid45 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 Finished up preping the surface and got the tape applied this evening, I plan on getting to painting tomorrow, as long as no other vehicles throws a fit and requires attention :wrench:
ComancheKid45 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 Its taken a few days longer than expected but I finally got the 1st coat of paint on! I can't wait to see this thing completed! :D
ComancheKid45 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 I finished up the painting today! I have a few emblems to reattach and then a nice cleaning and this truck will be ready for its work duties! :cheers: Plenty of pics to come :D
ComancheKid45 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Its back up home from the garage :cheers: A set of alloy wheels will be installed tomorrow hopefully and after a throrough interior cleaning Itll begin a new stage of its life. :clapping: Will also take some good pictures of it all completed when possible :thumbsup:
ComancheKid45 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Got the Wheels swapped over today :wrench: Id say ive given this little fella a new outlook on life, as mentioned he'll be staying in the family as Mom and Dads work truck. I'm thrilled with how it has turned out and it has many more happy days ahead of it :cheers:

ComancheKid45 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 Well i just couldnt help but think a chrome 8 slot grill would suite this truck better......so on 1 went :D Dad gave me prermission of course :rotfl2:
ComancheKid45 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Picked up these classic baby's from work..... Packaged in 1992 and been sitting since in a warehouse, Thats a historic dust layer :D We'll get em installed sometime soon
RockMJ Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Ive got buddies who live down in Ship and ive been there a few times. Nice find man and you know they are worth more packed with their protective dust coating haha RockMJ
ComancheKid45 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 Awesome.....i wonder if ive ever run into any of em, I'm gettin known for my Comanches (and Jeeps in General) around here :roll: :D
RockMJ Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 If youve spent any time at Rausch Creek then youve probably run into them on the trails before. I used to wheel there regularly before moving to FL. Definitely miss the rock crawling up there RockMJ
ComancheKid45 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 A Gallon of outdoor grade paint from Lowes and some tape and assorted bushes/rollers ;)
brubakes Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 A Gallon of outdoor grade paint from Lowes and some tape and assorted bushes/rollers ;) Wow I was thinking it was sprayed on.
ComancheKid45 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 decided to spruce up the dash for Dad alittle, It was only fitting since this is "The Wood Truck" :wrench:
ComancheKid45 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Well The old OEM bumper on this truck had seen a hard life so I figured id help Dad out by fixing him up with a solution ;) Since I had upgraded the bumper on my 88, I had my FEY bumper just laying around, still in great usable shape so i figured my dad would appreciate it. Much better, and he can acctually tow his small trailer and wood splitter around with this 1 :yes: I also took a few minutes and installed his Vent Visors, still sitting around from the summer :D Nice night in the garage......Ill keep ya posted :cheers:
raviolli Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 behind the kick panel i found this gizmo :???: oh that ol' thing? thats just your flux capacitor. looks like you might need a replacement...i wouldnt try getting up to 88mph until then :cheers:
ComancheKid45 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 NICE! do these interchange with the one from a 1982 Delorion? :eek: :popcorn:
