Got these installed yesterday. Box was dated 1987. The instructions, while detailed, did not make sense. If I would have followed the instructions the steps would have stowed outward. So I just did what worked. They turned out pretty fair. The CARC paint isn't quite a match, but I don't care...

All of them had armor doors? I seem to recall that the first ones I saw, back in 2002-3 just had plain aluminum doors. I was thinking about getting an MTVR, but they aren't very appealing without doors or windshield glass

Why do none of these trucks come with doors?

Update to my turn signal malfunctions-I changed out the CONTROL ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL (turn signal switch) and everything works fine. The old one was new 2 years ago, but it's been acting up practically the whole time. The units have different labels and I suspect different manufacturers...

Yes, it has the flasher unit mounted up on the drivers side firewall. I will probably just try another switch before I get too wrapped up in it.

And by loose I don’t mean flopping around on the column, it’s loose where the stalk rotates in the body. If I indicate left it blinks the green indicator and stops blinking it when I move my hand off the stalk. And yes, the additional wiring powers clearance lights and a 3 lamp center mounted...

I pulled a couple wires and looked around. The wiring is sanitary, and I can’t see anything out of place or buggered up. It’s got this junction box near the rear, with 3 relays inside I wrote Boyce asking for help with a wiring diagram it’s possible that the directional control on the...

I've just looked it over again and will list all the functions I checked and notes I made about what I'm experiencing. I tend to thing that the signal stat is still working. It's also brand new, and it's not "dead" here goes, brake lights-both work when brakes are applied right side turn...

The lights may have worked correctly when I got it back, but if they did, it was only for a very short time. I had some other issues with other systems, so I was preoccupied with those issues and less focused on the lighting. Like I said, they did a lot lot lot of work

Just to reintroduce myself, I'm Dan, and my old bobbed and rehabbed REO/Stude M35 is named Chesty. I had it built at Boyce Equipment, and while they did an outstanding job, I've had troubles with the turn signals and flashers since I got it back. I just don't drive it most of the time so it's...

I got him home, name is Chesty. Jeez, even bobbed a Deuce is a lot of truck! People look at it like it's a space ship from Mars or they think the Russians have invaded the US!!! I'm sure most people these days have never seen a beast like this

Still trying to get it down to my house from my work yard.

you can try a product called Citrustrip, available everywhere. it may attack the rattle can red paint first and save the better underpaint

pictures please :)
