Wow- thanks Swiss! Good stuff.

Clinto, I think that's a great idea- thanks for your help! I'll post up if I can't find something. The biggest problem I have is searching for something that has two or more words to describe it like "deuce rims". My searches always return posts containing EITHER word. I can't figure out how to...

I got mine at Autozone- not "MilSpec" but they work fine. Not very expensive either.

I think he meant he cut the copper washer off the drain plug for some reason.

Yeah, but its a DRY heat !

Pics are required- a video will earn you gold stars! lol !

Brian, those are very clever- good job! Mark

Hey- dimensional lumber is cut according to strict gov't specs- except when it isn't...

Interesting- I guess pressure treated is a little different. Thanks for the info- that's why I like this site, I always learn something new!

Also, a standard 4 X 4 is 3-1/2" square. Your only going to get four 3/4" pieces out of that.

Heath, Pressure treated is normally used for ground contact applications. It doesn't take paint well. Although they changed the chemicals used to treat it I never work with it without wearing a respirator. Band sawing 12' long pieces will create a lot of dust even if connected to a dust...

Ok, thanks!

Welcome from Arizona! Keep us posted on your progress and take lots of pics- we only read books with pictures...

Valence, I had to sand my troop seats after I got my deuce and I started by using a thickness planer in my wood shop. Big mistake- the CARC is so tough it wore the planer blades down so much they didn't even reach the wood. Plan B- the belt sander. Used 60 grit and it took all day- used a lot...

Valence, good job! I like your choice of wood- Poplar takes paint very well and will probably outlast all of us. Laminating and bending new top bows would be a ton of work that most people would never see. Do you guys think there would be a market for a more affordable set of wooden parts or is...

Tankz- your truck looks great! Really like the look of the dual NDT's. Did you paint the cargo cover? If so what did you use?

Clinto, thanks for the info on the removable pin- my truck did not come with them and I had no idea what went there. I put some large bolts there to keep it from rattling.

You might talk to Alex Gordon at Idaho Motor Pool in Boise. I bought my deuce from him last year- nice guy who's been selling MV's there for many years. You can contact him through www.idahomotorpool.com.

Brian, you are correct there are a right and left bracket. The upper and lower sections are all part of one bracket. For some reason they were particular to the drop side bed. Your headboard did not have the brackets because it probably came from a non-drop side truck. Thanks for the...

Dipstick, I replaced all the seals/ weatherstripping in my deuces cab and found that the window seals on the top edge of the door don't really help much. My windows were tough to roll up and down so I removed the regulators, cleaned and greased them and reinstalled them. Now you can roll them...
