    Bleeding the Master Cyc

    I read through some old threads about the master cyclinder being bled and didnt recall doing this when I first rec the deuce from Shelby. I had bled the wheel cyclinders and noticed that the brakes seemed a little firmer (when i pick the truck up - months ago) but never did the MC. So when I...

    old school digital camo

    I think the zebra anaology is a little flawed. The purpose of zebra stripes goes along with the fact that zebras are herd animals and, when packed up together, makes it hard for lions and other predators to distinguish which end of the herd to attack. Theres no head or rear from the lions...

    Civy tow bars

    I do keep some very large washers in the truck for when I use the homemade towbar. A shim, so to speak. They could come in handy for tailgaters to I guess, not that I encourage that sort of thing...

    The CUCV in Showtime's Jeremiah

    What about just an older Blazer? That would explain the canvas over the cab. Id love to pull the back seat out of my blazer and drop those troop jump seats in. Bet I could carry more kids too.

    m1009 Chirping like a cracked-out sparrow:

    With the belts off and cucv not running physically try to wiggle the pulleys on the alts, the power steering pump, and the fan. There shouldn't be any play. Also check the blades on the alts for clearance as well as the fan blades and shroud. Then put your belts on, one at a time. When it makes...

    Added the muffler. Whistle isn't as destinct and the drive is much more liveable.

    When Adding a Muffler Do You Adjust the Valves?

    Put the muffler on which made the whistle almost non-exsistant. The noise level is so much better though.

    run ins with law enforcement

    Had to jump through some hoops to get the "historic military vehicle" designation which means I dont have to run a visible plate... The lady behind the counter really, REALLY didnt want to deal with me but I remained persistant. Once she saw the truck she said I would definately need a safety...

    When Adding a Muffler Do You Adjust the Valves?

    Had this discussion the other night in the chat lounge where the general consensus was "not necessary" but my friend who I consider versed with the motor says ANY back pressure placed a motor not initially set for a muffler would require a valve timing adjustment. So who is right? I agree the...

    Desert Camo CUCV?

    While the current camo pattern works well using woodland colors I can't Imagine trading out the green base for desert tan and expecting it to dissappear desert. However the older style camo like you had mentioned were on the dodges would look much better IMO. Would also use the older style...
