socket I have had good luck with things like this at NAPA. I think for a turn signal there are only basic types one with a stagger/offset (for the two little pegs sticking out of the bulb) and one where the groves in the socket are straight across from one another. A ground wire can either...

Ground As someone said before its most likely a ground problem. Try running a jumper wire from the engine (very best connection to battery ground) to the lights that are not working. If that fixes it look for the ground straps mentioned before. Can't find them considering installing one...

Coolant loss Since the guy just "rebuilt" the head get the casting number(s) of the block and head and ask someone knowledgeable about the engine and see if its the right head for the block. Also, check to make sure the right head gasket was installed. I agree with the head bolt replacement...

Nice finds 2 Since were are talking about things for sale in Ohio I saw this over the weekend and thought I would put it up here in case anyone is interested. I know nothing about this truck and am not the seller. The only reason I am posting it is in the hopes someone's dream can come true...

Spacer Sorry as well, I thought you meant between the frames of the expanded metal. Yes, I did put a washer in as well.

Grill I put a winch on my 35 and the stone guard will fit on the grill just move the lower section to the back side of the grill. I think I had to buy a couple of 1/4 inch bolts but nothing fancy. If you want a better picture I can take another.

Lock Usually if the window is rolled up there is enough clearance. Might try going to the library or auto parts store and gaze at one of the manuals for the civi model.

Long shot Well I thought it might be a little to much to hope for. Maybe keep an eye open for another one to relive the good old days. Sometimes I long for my first first car, 1966 Olds 442 although I really miss my first truck 1969 Ford Econoline 302 with 3 on the tree.

Long shot You know I know its a real big long shot but have you ever been back there to if any part of it exists (even the junkyard) in the junkyard? Imagine find a part and building a working vehicle from it. Stuff movies made from and probably get you quite a bit of satisfaction. I know...

Wide I have been told that some deuces came with wider cabs (later models?) I tried putting it on my Deuce and it was to wide. The tag say it fits 2 1/2 and 5 Ton models. Below is a picture of the tag, maybe someone can cross the PNs and give us an answer. Sorry for the poor picture...

Topless Someone mentioned something about wanting a hard top? I have got one in not to bad a shape that I would like to sell or trade for something. Only thing is that its for the wider cab deuce or five ton If your interested PM me and I will send pics and whatever else you you need to...

Question Excuse my ignorance but would putting some sort of one-way clutch in the read driveshaft work? Say something like when the axle was turning faster (I don't know if this is ever the case) from going around a corner it free wheels but is powered at the same speed as the other one.

numbers The numbers on the data plate matches the frame number. I was just thinking that you (medlog) were able to come up with quite a bit of history based on the number that bugs had. I was wondering if it was a different number than the vin number. Can you come up with all that from...

Frame number Excuse my lack of knowledge but is the number you are talking about a different number than the vin number by the steering box? If so, where is it located. Thanks

generator I have one that was in the same condition, I think I had to replace the fuel line because of some sort of blockage of it or the fuel filter. There might also be a screen in the tank that needs to be checked. First thing to do is make sure gas is getting to the carb. If it is...

Differences Seems to be a bit of difference in air cleaners as well.

Lifting I use to work at a GMC truck Center. When we were closing it down we used a big chain hoist to pick up the front of a used truck were were sending off and carefully backed another truck under it. We did it carefully (used planks at times to protect bumpers) and did not have to use a...

One more thing When you tighten the starter and cable up be sure to hold on to the the cable so that it does not spin and spin the bolt that goes through bakeolite cover on the end of the starter solenoid. Be sure to tighten it but not HERK on it as the cover will break with to much force.

Lights Yes the loose nut most likely the cause. Loose connections produce higher resistance than tight ones. Resistance causes heat On some GM products there is a 8-10 gauge wire that attaches to the solenoid with the battery cable. This wire supplies voltage to other parts of the...
