Also, how long did you wait between coats? A "heavy" coat might require waiting overnight to allow the first coat to finish off-gassing.

Expanding on what juanprado said, did you sand everything first? The edges where different colors meet will have a very slight "height" difference. I sprayed my deuce with Rapco and had no issues like you are having. I sanded the camo smooth but not to metal as it was simply faded but well...

Very cool! Looks like daytime, except for the stars. :-)

Sounds like a bad connection or ground.

I like the M35 better than the 5 ton because I can work on it by myself in my backyard- the 5 ton is just too big for me.

If you want the baddest truck on the block, a deuce will do nicely- the cool factor is very high. They don't go fast but at slow speed in low gears they excel at pushing and pulling things. If you run over a Prius, for example, you probably won't feel it. People wave & give me thumbs up all the...

Kloak- your cab insulation job looks 1st rate- good job! What did you use? Mark

Is it bouncing while you're stopped or moving?- not clear from you're post, but mine bounces like crazy when driving. Should not do so when stopped, of course.

I don't believe that ground cable is standard, as the instrument panel is grounded to the dash through the four screws in the corners of the panel. If the other gauges work it's probably not a "panel-to-dash" ground issue. I found it easier to get to the gauges by turning the screws a quarter...

Welcome from Arizona, Mike! Lots of good people and information here to help you out!

Welcome Nate! There are 3 MV clubs in the valley you should check out- lots of experienced members who can help you out: www.desertwarriorsofarizona.com. (West valley) www.armytrucks.org. (AMVCC- Phoenix) www.AHMTA.com. (East valley)

Oh, now I understand which one your talking about. Don't see many of those. The type that just screw into the opening are plentiful.

I found several on that popular E*** auction site.

Can anybody tell me how these compare to the LED headlights? Brightness, cutoff, etc..

When I painted my deuce I used Rapco Marine Corp forest green, semi-gloss, #24052. For the yellow lettering I used rattle cans of Rust-oleum #7747 Sunburst yellow. I used the gloss enamel but it may be available in flat or satin.

Send a PM to Castle Bravo- he lives in the valley and knows this stuff well. He currently has a HET so he knows about the big stuff.

Well, its not pretty but it works! I decided to try to light the dash panel from the front and found a company called Pilotlights.net. They sell all kinds of lighting for instrument panels and I bought two 24 volt red post-mounted LED's. ($12.95 ea.) I tried just mounting them directly to the...

Try Jacks Government Surplus in Tucson. They don't have a website but you can call them at 520-574-0300.

Welcome Lorin! I have a friend who has a 5 ton for sale in Phoenix if you decide to go that route. Come over to Metrocenter on January 25-26 to our military vehicle show. Lots to see and a good place to get information before you buy. Go to www.armytrucks.org for more show info. Also, Arizona...
