I had the horn problem resulting from my bobbed Deuce having power steering installed. The modifications made the steering column contact box almost impossible to work on. So, I ran a hotwire from the power switch to a horn button I installed on the dash. Kind of a dumb way to do it, but I don't...

Wow! I've seen pictures of bare shop van interiors, but I've never seen one fitted out like that before. That is darn cool. Be rather tough to get it under highway overpasses around here though. Thanks for the pictures. Just one more thing to fantasize about.

Thanks Tracer. I get it now. Quite a bit of difference between the two. They look heavy. I've always thought the Deuce with "shop van body" would make a good camper for the MV minded.

Tracer, I can see now why space in the shelter is at a premium. I mistakenly thought the shelter was the full size of a 12' Deuce bed! I thought it went in your truck bed. You have a very sharp looking truck and trailer combo! I can see that you have put a ton of work into both! (y)

I'm glad you don't mind tracer! I sometimes feel like my posts/accomplishments are a little bit light weight compared to others.

This is my new battery support test fit. I found that I had to lower the rear cable tray on the battery box 1/2" due to the thicker C-channel. I just re-drilled the 5 holes in the plastic box. I also drilled the C-channel and the frame brackets for bolts this morning in a light rain. I dropped...

Great. I hope they last you a long time!

Sitting for 10 years? I can understand that. You must be happy to have it going again.

V8srfun, I'd be interested to know how long you've had your non-zippered boots installed and to see how long they last. You are about a three hour drive SW of me (in a V8 car that is). There are a handful of Steel Soldiers very near me. One of the soldiers lives not five miles from me! We're...

I know this is a mere trifle compared to what some of you fellas do, but maybe you'll find it interesting anyway. The first pic is the finished support. I'll probably have to add a center strap and upgrade the side angles from 3/4" to 1" because the rear lower piece hits the C-channel when I'm...

Hi everyone! I 've had a small Donaldson muffler between my J-pipe and the exhaust stack for years. It does absolutely nothing. Didn't alter the sound or volume of my exhaust one iota.

My truck has a "C" turbo. It's was a new Switzer (the original Whistler) turbo when I installed it in 2013. I bought it from Eastern Surplus for around $1,400. You can hear it whistle a little bit on startup, but as the engine warms up it whistles more and more. On the road you can hear it a...

Yes, please let us know how they work out. My Brutus had Ouverson hubs. Bath PA huh? I live in Effort PA just up the road 30 miles on Rt. 33. I owned a house in Phillipsburg N.J. for decades.

Yeah Tim, I was surprised by the bits. They were titanium or something. I'm just going to buy a bunch of cheap made for metal bits tomorrow. One good thing is that my ancient 5/8" bit was able to easily drill through the 3/16" flat stock where the 1/2" handle pins drop through. That was a...

Okay Tracer. I thought you and your C.O. might consider one as an option. I realize from your pics that headroom is limited. It would be perfect for Miller Time!

I began fabbing my new plastic battery box support today. I cut all of the metal to size and laid it all out. I bent one drill bit and broke off another in the mild steel. Brand new Dewalt drill bits. Pathetic. Suitable only for sheetrock or wood. My plan was to bolt it together first and decide...

Don't we all:)

Jasonjc......You have a serious workshop there. It looks to me (judging by the steering knuckle etc.) that you have a sand blaster or at least access to one. Some hefty jack stands for sure. As a driveway mechanic myself I am really impressed. You're really doing it right!

Wow! That's pretty odd. Was the drive flange/cap missing it's gasket? Is there any other way that water could get in there? Glad the others were okay and that you found it. Nice work!

Tracer, I was struck by the fact that your mini-lights last one hour. I have two of these L.L. Bean battery lanterns and they last at least 4 or 5 hours and just one would easily light your shelter. They use 3 "D" batteries. The on-off rotary switch also adjusts the brightness. They are fairly...
