That's a great idea with the pinion brakes. These axles are very popular with the off road crowd, plenty of kits available. I've mulled this over plenty of times. I've replaced all my brake components with new parts but I still have that redundancy issue. I use my truck, its not parade...

Jeez Red, I think you used all your luck up defusing bombs in the sand. I wish I could help.

Hello, Welcome. In 2012, I rebuilt almost every component on the brake system for this truck. Due the systems design I wanted full confidence. The master cylinder is very easy to rebuild, it took longer to get it in and out of the truck. All the rubber lines were replaced as well as the...

Here's a few more pictures. This spring has been really wet, that coupled with the excessive snow pack melting has created a lot of high lakes and rivers. Washed out bridges are a real concern on the forest service roads this time of year, especially on the roads less traveled. The water...

HAHAHA, That sign is classic. We actually saw 2 black bears on our way out, momma and a cub about a half mile from each other.

I was out exploring this past weekend. We camped along an old gold rush trail and came across this old grave site. Victims of smallpox.

Very Jealous They filmed that movie literally just up the road from my work shop. I drove the deuce by the set every second day just hoping they would flag me in to be a movie star!

I'll take some photos of mine later. It works without issue. Mine looks to be set up the same as in your diagram

Trailer is ready for paint. The deuce is coming back into the shop for her pre-summer maintenance. Lots of plans this summer. I'll try to take more vids and pictures. There will be no major upgrades, wheel bearings (standard), a dog bone, grease, brake shoes, Air-O-Matic servicing, and an...

I also have a 1966, good luck to you!

That looked like the tire was giving birth................

I did the same as zanther, refurbished the rad while it was out.

I suppose there are two ways to skin this cat. Set it without the possibility of damage by setting fuel cautiously. If you are planning to let other people drive you truck this might be the best way to go. I went the other way, the safety margin is managed by the operator. -FDC bypassed...

I still haven't completed this task. Its been on the back burner for long enough. This is thread is gold, so much passion for the hobby displayed :driver: So much wisdom, only now a few years later can I truly appreciate this thread. 😄 :mrgreen: I don't know whether to try and delete this...

I put together a montage of old footage. I stole a few pictures off the internet so all credit goes to the photographers, wherever you might be! https://youtu.be/4y1Mp4OWMr0

Dude, Don't over think it. Just hang out and enjoy doghead posting in "why won't my Deuce start threads"

That's right! She's living in a foreign land....... Busting heads and breakin hearts At a ripe old age of 51.

I don't mind guys. Your stories are entertaining. If you are being charged by a Grizz then you are probably buggered either way. I'd just empty the magazine into it and curl up in a ball.

Too much tequila will make any transmission barf :-D
