I asked the same question. Does your cab have the reinforced rivited on rear panel inside the cab? Mine did. I also found links down inside the right cowl vent at the bottom. I also found links and 50 cal. brass in front of the battery box. That makes it no doubt that it had a gun ring on it at...

I'm well pleased by your responces! My Grandson has the most pleasing smile in my photos. After reading FAQ and how to post pictures and not less than 2 hours of screwing around, I can't give you photos. The possibilities are endless. Sizing files etc. I could Email you the shots, but I'd rather...

I drove my '71 AM General 75 miles over into Wyoming to give my Grandson, Granddaughter and Daughter a ride up into the Black Hills of Wyo. and SD. I've driven other toys before, but never got the response I experienced. The people along the entire route waved, pointed, gave me the honk sign...

They work fine until the ball checks gum up and it quits working. I prefer the soft plug ( in the block ) type. 35.00 shipped. The info is on other threads, do a search. John

Your description of feelings of a Deuce were inspiring to me. I already have one, and you are not far off. One of my best all time friends was a wrestling state champ, no fat, the nicest guy you could meet. He could do things no one else could think of. All muscle and tough. He went down to...

Enjoyed this fix-it thread. A good one. BUT!!!!!!!!!Did you really pop the top of a PBR while killing yourself working on the deuce????Huh????:lol::lol::lol::lol: John

Now that is something to take your friends with. I love the short box and quad cab. Very well done. I'm starting to think of another project thanks to you! Chopped deuces are cool, Rat Rod Deuce next???????? I like that idea!

I have a tool that I'd like to check you out on-----------Sow Shovel. or-------Ice scraper, or---------wind chill meter etc. You'll come up Ya Hear! Signed----frozen KinroflJohn

Update: do not go to the block Htr. forum!!!!!!! Your brain will be melted. Here is what I'm doing, I ordered a soft plug Kats Htr. I used these for 25 years in my everyday propane delivery trucks. We left them plugged in every night. Had to go at a moments notice. They were the best...

Elvis Doghead, Thanks for not stick beating me on the search topic. I read it all and watched the video. 6,900 posts------:oops: wow. I think you know your way around a Deuce by now huh. Next I'll do a search on Soft plug heaters and go from there. No propane for me!:) John

Can you use a propane bottle instead of Ether? Will it screw in? Or is this a bad idea? Stick beatings may now begin!:-P

Do a search here and ask CARNAC ! With your VIN # he can help you. Did you get a title or SF 97? That also should help you. Lots of informative guys here, but they get irritated if you don't do searches on your question first as they are well covered. Enjoy! John

DWAI is your downfall! Park it until you get off that list or designation. Insurance companies share that info. That is frankly the same as blacklisting which is illlegal. All your insurance will soon follow suit. The locals that wrote you now have you on their watch list and will pull you over...

I would borrow a old 3 lever switch and try it. Just a thought to eliminate the push-type switch. John

Glad that helped you! There is another good thing to know: On top of your fuel tank is a rectangular cover with 3 hex nuts, under that is a slow burn glass tube 4 amp fuse that protects the in-tank pump. If you don't hear the pump running (with the air buzzer not breaking your ears) check there...

If you get a shot of bad fuel somewhere, a set of fuel filters along may save you too! John

Full-Time NG Mechanic told me to also check the bolts that mount your alternator. He has a "collection" of deuces and found quite a few had rattled the bolts either loose, or out! You don't want that unit to walk around your fan----yikes. Ear plugs are a absolute must as mentioned. Sounds like...

If your truck had a hardtop, the interior and gauges are usually in fine shape, ripped tops on GL dueces have interiors that are rough. Exhaust is noisy, and if you live up North with the Eskimos--------You want one!!!!:rant:Oilleaker1

I vote drive it home! I've got the fondest memories of breakdowns of all trips. It's a real adventure that you just can't buy. You meet some of the best friends of your life! No kidding, in times of hardship, the real friends who like what you like show up out of the clear blue to help. I like...

I delivered LP gas to residental customers for 25 years. My trucks had to start at all times down to 40 below. The only thing that worked for me was a soft plug type block heater that you plugged into your 120 volt electrical service. The coil was always in the blocks water cavity and never air...
