Me too. :-)

How do ya compete with a tank!! I might just sit this one out. :-(

Welcome from Arizona! My deuce is a tribute to my late father-in-law who survived 4 island landings in WWII with the Fourth Marine Division. By the way, my deuce was also an A.F. deuce serving with the Az. Air Nat'l Guard.

I believe the lever behind the parking brake has something to do with a winch (I don't have a winch truck) or some other type of equipment. Is it possible the "cut off" cable was attached to that lever? Is there some cable hanging off the lever below the cab?

Where did you find yours at?

Frank, that looks great! What kind of paint did you use?

Yes, those are the bulbs I'm talking about. If you unscrew the cap you will find a bulb inside. The gauges have open spaces or "windows" around their edges. In theory the light from the two bulbs shines through the edges of the gauges to illuminate them. In practice it just doesn't work very...

Can't help with the clutch- don't know anything about it. Regarding the instrument lights the gauges do not have individual bulbs. They are lit by 2 bulbs mounted between the upper and lower rows of gauges. (Under the round, screw-in covers). Its a terrible system and there are several threads...

I use Zep heavy duty citrus degreaser (orange) from Home Depot. Cleans most everything but won't eat your skin off. (Use full strength) If that doesn't work, I use Zep industrial purple degreaser. Cleans everything off including paint. It WILL eat your skin off so wear thick rubber gloves. I...

One last thing, I need to tighten my parking brake, it wasn't grabbing tight enough to hold on an incline. I was told by Ford Mechanic and Lt. Dan how to tighten it via the brake lever. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows of any other adjustment on it if needed to make it tighter? There is an...

Click on "settings" button at top right corner of main screen. On next screen go to left side and scroll down to "edit signature". Click on that and you can enter what you want on the next screen.

Regarding your gauges, did you troubleshoot them using an ohmmeter? I followed the troubleshooting guide for my oil pressure gauge and discovered the values in the TM are wrong. It indicated my gauge was bad but it was actually the sending unit. I discovered this by talking to Erik at...

You guys did a great job! Your truck looks fantastic and is something you can be proud of!

BlackNoma- are you really in China? You sound so close... Mark

Look me up when you get here- I'll PM you my contact info. Weldersam just moved here from Alabama- maybe another trend has started! Mark

Thanks for sharing that! It's good to see that some young people respect our veterans and understand the sacrifices they made for our country. :D

M715mike- I voted for you because I like your truck. Actually, I was swayed by your campaign promises- can't wait till they come true. Oh, if they don't come true, you're going to get a visit from Mr. Joshua...

I think you will find it is not "stiff" enough. When used as decking it requires joists 12" to 16" on center for support. Go to the home center and handle a piece of it to see what you think. This has been discussed many times here and it turns out fiberglass or hardwood are really the only...

That's a great looking truck- welcome to the Deuce club!

Mine is routed like your #1 but has a hold-down clamp down by the pulley to keep it away from the pulley.
