I have driven 600 miles away with a log farm plate, i have never been pulled over (Hauled wood, disk, trailer ect.)

Welcome to the site! :) Let me just tell you, 19 getting a deuce isn't young at all, I bought my truck at 15 years old, and now I'm 17. I drove mine daily for quite a while, 6-8 months, and it was fun, but its nice to have another vehicle to one, switch it up, two, you can go more places...

8/17/12 Matt here just stopping in to update, say a few words. Since my truck had some issues shifting, and we identified it to be no shims for the PTO, and my truck was leaking oil from the PTO shift levers, so i ordered up a PTO gasket and seal kit with boots from Memphis equipment. While i...

Looks really nice! Did you go through and do a frame up restoration?

Just got done doing axle seals on my truck, it was a breeze! Make sure you have the appropriate tools, for instance a 8 point 3" axle socket, which i had to wait 3 days for it to come in on order. Other than that, its a 1.5 - 3 hour job! Bought an inner axle seal from Saturn Surplus, and Cork...

Well this week i fixed flats and put a for sale sign on the old girl.

Well, haven't done much to the truck lately since I've been gone to Kansas City, I did find a gasket and seal kit for the PTO, that will be soon.. When i got home for KC i took it for a drive and found out that i have a flat tire.. Since i have a very good luck streak my spare was also flat. But...

Ok thanks guys! Is there a certain military website that you would reconmend,or just the usual (Saturn, Eastern surplus, ect)?

Nope, i was on a time crunch and use RTV, but i have to take the PTO off soon to replace a seal in it. One thing i found as a possibility was that i drove for a long time with my fording plug in? Could that be any thing? I would really like to go through the truck and ix everything thats wrong...

Totally forgot about asking that, no its not, it still drives, its just super hard to get in gear. No Idea what it is.

Lawdog, i am very excited to see your project!! Well ladies and gentle men, the winch is on! Its been on for about 3 weeks now, and boy does it look great!! I painted it up, waited for this Behr paint to somewhat harden, and then installed it. I am very happy with it! The old shear pin was...

In the last little while, i've found some good uses like Taking to car shows Moving people into new houses (mostly family, a boss in the soon future) Parades, which i've only done the high school one, which I'd like to become more active with other parades. Hauling firewood and pallets Used...

Someone offered me 11,500 for mine a couple weeks ago, it had the new paint, winch, heater, canvas, hard top, you know, the whole kit and caboodle. I turned him down, this was my first vehicle, and i love this thing, i have put more time, sweat, and cold hard cash into this truck restoring it...

I emailed someone about this already with no reply. I'm taking a machining class right now, and we are doing a final project for the year and i kinda wanted to make something that i can actually use. Is there any chance someone would have dimensions of the oil filter adapters? This would be a...

Very nice tip, i will try this soon!
