    where do the blackout lights go?

    Hopefully, you can see the blackouts right below the normal tail light. THey're hard to see, heck, they're even hard to see when it's dark and you have em' on <img src="http://redneck.theexitwound.com/pictures/deuceparts2.jpg" border="0">

    New Cab Cover

    Looks like we'll have to check them out, right now, our deuce' only has a cheap-o plastic faux camo tarp for the rear, it does the job, but just doesn't look "right" on there

    speaking of comp/collision.......

    If that doesn't scare em, the lack of power steering should, and if it's nighttime, $50 says they can't figure out how to unlock the drive lights :D

    Fuel Filters....... Okay, I give up........

    Can anyone tell me where the primary fuel filter is on a deuce??? We were doing the fluid/filter change today and did the secondary and final fuel filters (the ones all the way aft on the driver's side of the block) But we can't seem to find where in the system the smaller primary filter sits...

    Can't say enough good stuff about Saturn Surplus

    It's a CARC substitute paint we got in rattle-cans from Gillespie, supposed to duplicate the current milspec CARC green.

    Share the Deuce Humor

    We seem to get mostly double-takes. Pull into the gas station, the guy at the counter does a double-take Pull up to Wal-Mart, everyone in the parking lot does a double-take Now, most of the other truck drivers you pass on the road give ya thumbs up!

    20,000 pound capacity?

    Heh, that time I had my camera, the previous trip, we tipped the scales at just over 21K Thanks to our deuce' we did what would have taken 10 trips with a pickup in just two trips. (Gravel driveways love to devlop potholes, and lots of them)

    20,000 pound capacity?

    I can personaly vouch that the Deuce' is completely happy at the 5 ton mark, as evidenced by our recent trip to the rock quarry <img src="http://redneck.theexitwound.com/scale.jpg" border="0"> <img src="http://redneck.theexitwound.com/quarry2.jpg" border="0"> THe load we took prior to that...

    speaking of comp/collision.......

    Most of the Deuces we looked at while shopping around were "theft proofed" by chaning the steering wheel to the seat or floor, and then padlocked. You could start them, but not go anywhere other than a straight line SOme had padlocked battery boxes (probably just unhooked the cable from one of...

    Batteries for the Deuce

    We just have 2 normal 12V automotive batteries in ours, you need to stick some wood blocks in the battery box to "Shim" them up to account for the fact they're smaller in dimension than the ones that were originaly in it We were lucky that when we needed a jump the first time the truck died...

    Starting troubles, advice requested

    We're pretty sure it's not a voltage regulation issue, we actualy bypassed the voltage regulator in a brief test so that the alternator would produce the "maxiumum juice" that it could, and it's still nowhere near what it should be, so I think it's just a case of worn alternator brushes. The...

    Fixed the horn solenoid

    Good to hear it, our deuce is likewise hornless (has one but it doesn't work) we haven't tried to troubleshoot it yet, but it's probably a bad solenoid as well, because it's not for lack of air

    New member, new deuce

    Yeah, we've been planning a little "field trip" down to Saturn one of these days, when we first when deuce hunting, we actualy went down to the Navy Logistics Operations base near Carlisle, but the ones they had there were mostly beat-to-hell-and-back. Thanks for the welcome

    Starting troubles, advice requested

    Seems our deuce is having a problem with it's batteries not charging. About a month after we got it, we took it on a short trip down the road and shut it off. When we tried to restart it, it was dead, would not even crank. We got a jump to restart and brought it home. We assumed that the...
