Well done looks like a quality job . I hope you never have to use it :razz:

I don't want to alarm anyone but the reason the surplus trucks. Along with other surplus trailers and such are not allowed to be exported is because Uncle Sam can at any time reclaim them in a time of emergency . The trucks you still see running around shows that they still have plenty of parts...

There's a link to the old SS site so it may still be there . Glad your back hope you continue to recover , been there too.......:cry:

Engines are cheaper than trucks . When any truck starts to rust there is the rust you see and the rust just under the surface of the paint you don't see. It scares me when I think about it . I would go after the 85 but not at that price, that's a little high to me anyway. In these times he will...

On the 762 I have put some side rails and tailgate and that's about it . On the new one ........Well I think I would dump the old upper part and do about the same configuration on the frame that's left, I like to make utility trailers out of most of the surplus frames . Either way you have some...

Hello and welcome from SC look forward to seeing your post. Take care with those little ones . I had three sons to chase after when the were growing up now unless they need somsthing they can't be found :-P

Make sure you take a lot of pics as you tear it down , then when you forget where something went you won't have to take off the other side (yet ) to see where it went . Good luck and be safe ................:-D

Not to sound like a smart butt .call the DMV of your state and ask them to fax or mail you the rules that apply to your situation .It's the only way to play it safe and win......:razz:

Hi and welcome Blost, Man I hope you didn't buy it with just a bill of sale. If so you should have joined sooner and followed the threads that out lined the problems with titling with a bill of sale. I do wish you all the luck in the world , but I think its a mistake you won't ever repeat...

I saw them on the events log I had to wonder how to get it in and out of my driveway lol . I think its about 6 ft longer than my driveway :razz: Then again I COULD MOVE :wink:

Did you have the park lights on after you made the connection the circuit is only active when activated right ??? Not being a smart but but I've connected to the wrong thing before and had the same problem

You did a great job on the truck it looks like a professional job . Beware of the NG markings I'm not sure but I don't think it's allowed bear those markings. But I could be wrong

Now that's the way it's done

Man these are great tips and I do take notes. Like many in these times I've locked down on the spending an I don't have a MV to work on now so I learn research and take notes . When I'm able I will have a a book compiled of tips to refer to lol. Thanks guys and I may have a tip for you too ...

Prevenative starts with learning the way it feels sounds and handles . No I'm not trying to be funny..... Listen to it when it's running well ,every engine has its own sound yours is no different... For the first week drive it as much as possible and learn it's in and outs . Check your fluids...

I wonder how they will put a 4 cyl engine in the Deuce .....ok with a 20 speed trans ........lol . They don't buy any tooling from anyone they copy the patton from the records building and start pumping them out. They have no copy rite laws in Asia and aren't subject to punishment either. Thats...

It will fit but man dont let any slack get in the chains and hit a bump. I would try to find another trailer with some safety room ........just in case. ..If not why don't you pull it .Just asking ...With a 1/4 inch on each side theres no room for error .....
