Update
Bringing this thread up to date.
Lawrence has run into several problems over the last several months. The Forest Service Truck project is on indefinite hold, his housing situation is deteriorating, and the DP Burb appears to have gone kaput as of yesterday (among other trials).
Don't know much aside from nasty sounds and metal shavings in the oil.
Three weeks ago we were out there and could have helped him, but at this point he's alone in the mountains and getting to the point where he's not able to maintain the truck. He has been talking of raffling the truck off to someone able to care for it, but I don't think plans are set yet.
He does want to get the truck onto the
Jegs and LMC catalog covers, as one final display before he has to pass the mantle on to someone else. But further mods & repairs are getting less and less feasible.
He's still living on a shoestring, so renewing his membership has not happened. I have a request in to sponsor his membership, so I'm hoping he will be back on here soon.
To your build!
