Go loud or go home...

So I came up with a way to deal with this issue. I planed some oak pieces down to 2 1/2x 7/8x16" (one I planed down to 3/4" thick because one of the pockets was dented in and narrower). Then I put a pan head screw in the center of one end. Before cutting them down to 16" long, I put the piece...

In.

Yep, just like that. I just scraped off the biggest chunks of paint that were flaking, and shot some OD green spray paint to camouflage the dirt and rust for the Veteran's Day parade this Sunday. I'll probably move that tire to the inside or switch it out as I have several spares.

At least one of the rims on my deuce has rivets in it, when did they switch to a welded rim? Mine is a '71. I'll be going through all the rims and tires this winter to clean an paint them, I have a few spares, so I might switch that one out. Just wondering how old that rim is. It does have a...

UPDATE: My Progressive insurance for the the deuce went up $138 to $588...🤬 So much for low inflation...

Surprised nobody mentioned the TM's....

I have historical tags. The guy I bought it from had truck tags, but the DMV women up here were so effing clueless, I just settled for historic tags. I have to keep it under a 200 mile radius of travel, or it's a higher rate.

I'm only paying $450 I think for my deuce, and that's with a little extra coverage through Progressive.

I haven't got the PM yet.
