As promised i posted a picture of my WM300 rebuild. I wanted to leave it as i found it but completely mechanically sound. I re-did all the seals,bushings, and tie rods on the the axels. I Put a rebuilt transmission in because my NP420 was shot. I also did a much needed timing chain, water pump, head gasket. The rest of the motor was rebuilt in the 1990s. I purchased a wiring harness from vintage wiring of maine. I also did a whole new brake system and fuel system with a sending unit, lines. VPW rebuilt my carburetor and provided me with a reconditioned fuel tank. New cab mounts and shocks made all the difference in the world in terms of ride quality. My radiator was acid washed and patched. Lastly the wheels were blasted painted and mounted up with new tires and NOS rings.

As far as the inside goes i put in a new speedometer cable and NOS gauges, along with a new headliner. This was an expensive build given i made tons of rookie mistakes. I had to buy lots of tools and little items along the way. Im scared to add the receipts up but im figuring its in the neighborhood of 10 or 11 thousand in parts and tools. I used VPW for nearly every part, they have great service and Jens really helped me with a lot of issues i was having. I know it cost a little bit more to go through them but i really like to support power wagon guys like yourselves.
