@SandBar If your goal, as stated, is better on-road handling you are better off sticking with duals. Duals will provide a much more stable on-road ride for you. Unless your "rare" off-roading includes a lot of deep mud or very soft, marshy ground you will be surprised how capable duals can...

Damn! Wish I had buddies with "spare" 10-ton trucks just laying around...must be nice :p

Also check FB Marketplace. There's always a few on there. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

@jdchristianiii Unless someone has messed with the wiring prior to you, here is how U.S. military light switches work "from the factory": As you can see...as previously stated above...you get front parking lights OR headlights. That is, unless you either splice, rewire or (as I have done...

Group 31's in both my Deuce and 5-ton. Both start up fine even during Michigan winters.

Didn't do it this week, but over Christmas I added a Haldex A72420-style alcohol evaporator on my '52 so I can fire her up for some enjoyable "refreshing" (she's a no heater truck) below-freezing drives without any frozen air line issues in-between snows and whenever there is no "Truck...

It's a Leopard 2. Looks like a CAF 2A6 as it appears to have the additional boxes on the turret bustle that their 2A4's did not have, at least from the factory. Easy way to distinguish a Leopard (1 or 2) from similar-profile MBT's (like the Abrams) are the distinctive triangular-looking...

OK. Time for some campaigning. Self-promotion is not my strong suit but I will do my best for my big farm girl... I purchased my former Alabama National Guard M923 about 18 months ago (4/19). She was my first descent into MV Madness but obviously not my last as she now has a "little sister"...

Didn't enter my big girl this month but how's this shot for Phil's calendar? October maybe? ;)

Try an ACE hardware or a local hardware store. Almost all of them will carry a far better selection of fittings than a big-box store and they will have better prices. Some NAPA stores carry a decent selection of airline fittings in-store. Grainger and other industrial supply houses will have...

Good News! No drilling required! I don't remember the bolts being anything fancy...just standard machine-thread hex bolts.

The mounting bolts should be 3/8" x 2". For the connecting tee you are joining two airlines and reducing down to a 1/8" NPT to connect to the governor. Assuming the lines are the correct 3/8" size the begin with, buy the tee and then buy the adapter to reduce from your tee to 1/8" NPT to...

If it is a 1970 then for sure you have an old governor someone threw on it. In that case, you may be in luck and the correct mounting holes will already be there, just hiding underneath the old unit. My '52 Deuce had the old Midland governor when I purchased it (below) and I have since swapped...

The new style governor uses two mounting bolts through the lower body section of the governor and into the firewall. The one you have on your Deuce mounts to the firewall with small "ears" at about 1 and 7 o'clock if I remember correctly. You probably don't have the correct mounting holes in...

Computerdoc That style of air governor dates back to at least the 50's, maybe earlier...probably OE to the truck. I've only seen that style on a couple of old farm trucks that we still had kicking around. I would not make another move in your Deuce until you replace that with a new, modern D-2...

Welcome to the site and to the green insanity! I have a 1952 Lansing-built REO as well that I just recovered over the summer. But mine was (mostly) upgraded to A2 configuration during her service life and now has a Multifuel in the engine bay instead of the Comet. :( My Deuce has been lot of...
