I love taking my Queen Lola to car shows where those anal-retentive classic car types go. While they use a microfiber cloth and special waxes to shine up their rides, I use a spray can to touch up little issues! Their faces are well worth it!

I understand you looking at the ignition timing. You essentially feel that there is at least one cylinder prematurely firing, thereby "stopping" the cranking. I am more leaning towards valve train/pushrods. My secondary suspicion is starter - especially, since it gave up the ghost after your...

Aha! I did not see the link; I had clicked on the picture! Once it runs, it runs fine, mosquito smoke screen notwithstanding. Simple things first...how good is the battery and does it provide enough CCA? When you hook up a starter pack to the battery and then crank the truck, does that fix...

Can you take a video clip with sound to see what the engine is doing and sounds like?

One thing that needs to be on the list, when you are getting a new-to-you Deuce road ready, is checking the rear suspension. Dog bone (torsion bar) rubber bushings to ensure they won't fall off, and also the pivot point for the rear tandem axle assembly - the trunnion. Trunnion wear, play...

@tommys2patrick yes, there is one thread called "all this for a freeze plug??" in the listing - and it is because when that freeze plug blows, you essentially do a head gasket job! Maybe replacing these while the heads are off is a really good insurance!

Replace the short coolant hoses while you have the intake and water passages off. Have gasket material on hand to make new gaskets for things you run into removing. I agree with the discipline needed to only to what needs to be done, but that decision is yours. I tend to try and knock out the...

You have more patience than I would have! Fire in the hole!!! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Simple things first. Did the shutoff get stuck? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/deuce-no-start-have-gone-thru-a-few-steps-already.211192/ Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Nice score if the price was right! And a recovery needs drama - not too much, just enough, otherwise, what's there to talk about? Any Joe can simply tow a truck home! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

With the air shift transfer case, I suggest to engage while the wheels are not turning. Disengaging while moving is safe. It is like many things -if it is not your truck, if it is fixed by the motor pool at someone else's expense, the truck "can do" a lot of things. When it is your truck that...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/fuel-density-compensator.23560/ You will see that post #7 addresses it. Your idea seems to be workable. Further down are even some pictures.
