    Project "Corporal Punishment".

    OK, I've been outta the loop for a little while but here's an update on Project Corporal Punishment. With my focus on expedience rather than pretty or clean, I bobbed my truck down to a 4X4 in 2 weeks at my buddy's place in San Bernardino. I got her loaded up and we moved back out to the South...

    is a bobbed deuce a practical daily driver?

    I was thinking of a pocket bike tucked under the bed of my bobbed deuce. In case of breakdown, drop the bike and go get help. lol (Of course it'd have to be painted OD green to match my truck.)

    Contemplating a Bobber! To do or not to do that is the question!

    Ok so being that I'm the owner of a bobbed deuce, and a proud daddy to a beautiful 8 month old daughter, I feel like I should chime in here. My ADHD-enhanced creativity makes me picture your cab being grafted to an early or same vintage Chevy or GMC panel Delivery truck rear section. any size...

    Front Axle Engagement

    Ya probably want to keep it under 45mph when you shift "on the fly" just to be on the safe side. Even if you have a spare t-case sitting around, it's still a pain in the tuchuss if you have to change it. I'd rather Bob 3 more deuces than have to change a trans or t-case on my own bobber. Them...

    M35a3 air psi problems

    Check that pesky main air valve in the air packs! No air building and locked brakes are the dead giveaway. Also make sure the valves on the gladhands on the back of the truck are securely closed.

    Soon to recover M35a2

    Congrats on your new aquisition! What's the plan for your deuce? Military style resto? Maybe full on repurpose job? Vietnam-era guntruck? Bobber? The options are vast indeed! :driver:

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    This week, Project "Corporal Punishment" got a new modern 24V 70 amp alternator, a freshly retubed/stretched rear drive shaft, and a new pair of batteries. It's been a good week for The Corporal!

    Weight carrying capacity of a bobbed deuce!?!

    The two-and-a-half ton and five ton ratings on all military trucks are off-highway ratings and are doubled for on-highway use. I was under the impression that the trailers are rated the same way. The M105 is a one-and-a-half ton rated trailer so it should be fully capable of three tons...

    What happens when.....

    What happens when someone walks a little too close to a revving deuce with the pre-cleaner cap off?

    First Deuce renovation - with pics

    I almost forgot to post a pic. Don't mind the junk in the box, I haven't cleaned it out in a while. The black cap on the tip of the fitting is a valve cap for a tire. It allows venting and keeps the dust out.

    Deuce Brake Issue

    If you remove the air line on the air pack from the tanks, just under it you'll find the main air control valve, (small brass nut on a shaft with a seal and a spring under it). Squirt a little light oil around it and move it in and out with some small needlenose plyers. Be gentle with it as you...

    First Deuce renovation - with pics

    Good improvisation on the power bleeder. When I bobbed my deuce, I mounted the brake fluid reservior from the M105 I butchered for the springs and bed under the driver's seat (old box-style seat mount), ran 1/2" vinyl tubing to the vent on the MC cap and put a male quick-connect air fitting on...

    Crew cab tandem deuce "MADISON" is Home!!!

    Is this a turbo or non-turbo truck? If it has one, I'd be inclined to make sure it's spinning and getting oil. You can pull off the hose going into the air inlet, reach in with a finger (not running of course) and spin the impeller to make sure it spins freely. If it's got some gunk or rust in...

    20# C02 tank

    When I bobbed my 72 KJ M35A2, I temporarily replaced the ball-valve and gladhand on the right side of the rear end for a simple quick-connect air coupler. Then a couple months ago, a buddy gave me a HUGE portable air tank about 3 feet long and about 18 inches in diameter. I strapped the tank up...
