What did you do to your deuce this week?

[Wolfgang the Gray]

I'd like to get new rubber and tubes all the way around on my truck. I've got 8 down and 2 to go. I'm using the standard Titan 9.00X20 NDCC tires, and out this way, they sure are getting hard to find.

I started putting new rubber on my Deuce (only 1 so far, but slowly changing out). I got newly pressed Coker tires. Yes, they are a bit more than used tires, but since my truck is a tribute truck, I think it look much better with new rubber.

Coker Tires for M35A2

Bought it!

1971 Jeep M35A2 wow. Continental LDT-465-1C (Nov 95 data plate date). Currently has a 1,000 gallon tank in the bed. That will be removed (appears to be 6 bolts). Was an ex-forest fighter tanker for a community fire department. Extremely clean body and chasis. About the only thing wrong is no air horn. And the extra red lights for the fire service were disconnected. They have to be change to something other than red or blue by law anyway.

Genesis 1:3 And God said “Let there be light”, and there was light. I got the overhead fixtures installed and power going to them so I can work in the cooler evening air.

So does that mean you will have it done 7 days

Picked up a sweet running A2 USMC truck w/6000 miles on a Letterkenny rebuild

Congratulations on your new acquisition. Looks great! Pictured are some of the tools you will be using in your maintenance program...

Thanks! It needs some paint, going to run through all 6 hubs before the GA rally and get it up to speed. This is my 2nd deuce, and I just sold my M923A2

Dont forget your primary fuel filter, and check the condition and tension on the water pump and air compressor belts. I like to carry spare belts and the tools to change them in the field.

Needing help on purchasing a slip yoke plug for the rear driveshaft. I've got the $, just need a vendor. Thanks.

 

[tobyS]

Which rear driveshaft are you referring to, the one from the transfer case to the first axle or the one between the two axles? They are different size I think. What is the "plug" you are referring to?

You should probably put this in a "parts wanted" ad. If you have not paid the members fee, it supports this site and you have access to post classifieds.

Wanted ads are free.

 

[Another Ahab]

Wanted ads are free.

 

[tobyS]

I didn't say he had to pay the fee to place the wanted ad, just that paying a membership supports the site (well maybe I implied it a bit). Totally free makes us look cheap...which many of us are and have accepted that fate. Oh well....

 

[emeralcove]

tobyS; I too have tested positive for the "cheap gene" or was it I wear "cheap jeans", regardless I hear you.

 

[whatadeuce]

Well troopers, remember when I set up that 5th wheel to deuce adaptor -rig-assembly? And did you notice the confidense and certainty, oh yes, the promise of its unique desighn? Truth be told, its Sunday somewhere, IT DIDNT WORK ! Well, plan B consisted of just pulling the trailer framework with my Deuce bomb crane hoist. That enabled be to tow it, but the front end of the trailer, eh, looks different!

I qualify in both categories.

But with explanation:

- I wear cheap JEANS, because

- I got cheap GENES

With only about 2' of chain under the truck boom, it's surprising how far it can go forward when motivated on a slight hill. Did it poke through or dent it up? Did you hit the brakes a bit too hard?

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

I prefer FRUGAL over cheap.

My father used to say I was "so tight with a buck" that my wallet was like an alligator's butt-hole..... WATERPROOF !

 

[whatadeuce]

Ah, the deception unwinds! Yes the cab at the end of where i towed it, shall we say, has additional vent ports. AS for braking too hard, well, eh, I just put in a new master cylinder and ....I didnt have any brakes !

That's kind of a problem isn't it, whatadeuce?

Hello Another Ahab, I love to post my truck activities with humor, wit, and entertainment, as we all do. In this towing venture I mention the highlights of my exparience, and thats enough. The Bible says: Look for the good, and ye shall find it...
