For what it's worth, we've ditched the 12v automotive batteries for geniune milspec ones, when the weather turned cold on us this winter, 12v's just didn't have the cold-cranking power to get us started. We also had problems with fuel contamination or somthing along those lines so we started...

We took the deuce to the tree farm today to get out family christmas tree (cathedral cieling in the living room, 10' trees every year <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up">) Getting there requires summiting Pine Grove Mountain, 1000-1200 ft. climb, 8% grade both sides...

Dang, I wish the interior of OUR deuce looked that good! Most of the data plates are all bleached/scratched, I had no idea they were supposed to be YELLOW like that

Antique plates on ours, that's a real easy way to go if your state has that option, registration is cheap, good for a lifetime, you're emissions/inspection exempt and insurance is cheap Downside, they cap your usage, to like 1 day a week, but they never come to check the odometer or anything...

Deuce or Die's story reminds me of the guy in San Diego that stole that tank......... LIke, how are the cops going to STOP you if you really wanted to make a run for it in a deuce? It'd be like that guy in Colorado who went on a rampage with a bulldozer, you basicaly have to wait for him to run...

When we wanted a quick "Spruce up" piantjob on our deuce, we used Gillespie as well, bought a 12 pack of a CARC-substitute in rattle cans. It's not as durable as real CARC, but it's a close enough color match and keeps rust in check, what more can you ask for? LD - Our deuce was parked outside...

If you're in upstate NY, you're reasonably close to Ken Kublo's Surplus, that's where we got our Deuce' from , he's just accross the PA line in Laurel Lake, check him out, if not for the truck itself, then for any parts you may need. Though, he's mostly got M35 series trucks, I did see a couple...

I've always been a quick learn at clutches, took me all of 2 days of driving before I had it down, I need more practice on hills though My view is, if it has a clutch, use it

You're my new hero MM, that's awesome

I always manage to weasle out of tickets at the time of thier issuing, I just tell the cop honestly that I screwed up and don't give any excuses, I had Speeding (51 in a 35) knocked down to "Failure to obey posted signs" , fine, no points and I had an expired plate knocked down to a verbal...

We're really lucky, the "Shop" has 17 acres attached to it, plenty of room to park the deuce' and all our other "toys" <img src="http://redneck.theexitwound.com/pictures/shop.jpg" border="0"> And check out all that real estate, perfect for minefields, easy to secure LZ's and overlapping fields...

Beautiful truck MM, looks about in the same shape we got ours in, except our headlights were flipped from yours Keep on deucin'

The same problem afflicts the passenger side wiper on our deuce, the driver's side one works fine, but the other one makes a single trip, and then gets stuck....... so now you have two guys begging you for answers :D

That shift messed me up the fist few times I drove too, almost stalled in going for what I thought was 4th, but was actualy 5th. But luckily, the shift pattern is riveted to the dash if you're ever unsure :D

Hoo boy, my family, much to the chagrin of my Mom has a collection of ever-changing vehicles, over the years we've owned/or still own the following -64' Triumph Spitfire (The car that proves dental hygene and soccer fan etiquette aren't the ONLY things the Brits can't manage) -70ish...

If I remember right, it was the one one the sending-unit end, not the dashboard end, I didn't acutaly see it, I was stuck inside the cab monitoring the guages while the other half of the garage (my dad) was fiddling under the hood. Apparently all he did was pull them apart, and then stick them...

Out of curiosity's sake, can anyone explain how bridgeplates work? I can find plenty of sites that sell old ones or reproductions, and I know where they mount on the deuce' (because ours is missing them) But what do the letters and numbers on them represent? I imagine it has somthing to do...

After a week of hard rain, the oil guage in our deuce' started to give funny readings, wild fluctuations, jumping between zero pressure and too much. We did what Pappa-G suggested and attached a cheap oil pressure guage we had lying around directly into the motor and went by it untill we could...

LD, We had no trouble getting 30W from our local Advance Auto Parts store. We used Shell Rimula 30W, and according to the back of the jug, it's a straight-across compatible for milspec oil <img src="http://redneck.theexitwound.com/pictures/deuceoil.jpg" border="0">
