My brother has lived and worked in Cincinnati since the mid-70s. He took me to see a Red's game once. I love chili. Have you ever been to Skyline Chili?

Amen. Worth the money Tracer.

Right on Tracer! I wire brush the clamp grooves and hit them with CRC contact cleaner. Excellent point!

Good work! I use Valvoline Cerulean Grease. It's blue and is also made for mining and earth moving equipment. Even rock crushers. I get it at Autozone. I installed a full set of aluminum spin on oil and fuel filter adapters on Brutus. Makes changing filters much easier. You can get the spin on...

FloridaAKM....I changed my front axle inner oil seals because I had some liquid dripping onto the inside of my front tires. I was wrong on my diagnosis. Later when I changed the boots (which were ripped), I discovered that the liquid on the tires was only a mixture of rain water and excess...

hgun. Ignore the video. Zipper boots are fine unless you plan on using your Deuce as the YELLOW SUBMARINE. This is Brutus' front end when I was changing the inner axle oil seals. That's the brake backing plate resting on top of the universal joint housing. That housing is held on by the king...

Geez Hank, I've always wanted one of those Warn 18K 24v winches myself. Too rich for my pocketbook. I'd need the bumper extension kit too. C&C Equipment sells them both as a kit or separately. Glad to know you're well and to see that Ahab is here too.

Hi cattlerepairman! Thanks for the info! Yeah, undersized even a little makes it a real pain. Had a set of those once. We had a dusting of snow two days ago. Still haven't been able to get much done outside. The ground is still too wet. How about you in the great up North?

hgun. Getting good quality boots makes a big difference. I got my last ones from Memphis Equipment 901-774-0600. The boots are P/N 7410883. The large clamps are P/N 01-1448875-5340. The small clamps are P/N 7071100. You need two of each item. The cost for all without shipping was $87.54. You...

I would never charge a friend to help out. :)Really.....they're not that bad. Leechburg. I'll have to check that out on a map. Four hours is a long way in a Deuce.

Lucky. I can't honestly call what I do welding. It's more like spitting molten metal at things.

I made a glad hand air filler with a nozzle that has a flex hose end, a squeeze trigger, and a built in gauge. Works great. Remember to connect it to the R.H. (facing the back of the truck) glad hand. As far as the tank drain valves go sometimes they freeze up in winter or get plugged with rust...

Now this is a rusted battery box. I had it in great shape eight years ago when I replaced the original batteries. I think one of the cell caps was leaking a bit of electrolyte even though it was screwed down tight. The support u-channels are so rusted that I will probably fabricate new ones...

I installed a complete new Cold Air Kit in Brutus when I first bought him due to a leaking heater core. You are right to say it is difficult to work under the dash. The defroster hoses just don't want to go on. I also cleaned up my window mechanisms and installed new seals. The spring washers...

hgun....I also ran a new wire from the start switch to the solenoid in red 12 ga. to eliminate the possibility of a faulty wire and to make it easier to trace in the future. I used a 24v marine starter switch I bought online. It has a very positive, solid feel to it.

I just turned 68 and I have the exact same problem. Five hours of sleep each night and I wake up every hour or so. I was cleaning up my new plastic battery box after midnight last night.

I was Navy '73-'77. The old Dodge flatheads were easy to work on. Mine had several serious cracks in the block. Those engines are almost impossible to find. Hence the Ford swap. A buddy of mine on my ship (USS Coronado LPD-11 an amphib) had already done it, so I knew it was possible.

That sounds like what I've heard Crazyguyla. I always wondered if the changeover would degrade the existing wheel cylinder and master cylinder rubber parts.

Interesting that your Deuce uses DOT3. I have DOT5 in Brutus. Unlike DOT3 It's silicone based and doesn't attract water. Therefore, it doesn't cause rust in the presence of air nor does it remove paint. It also feels more viscous (thicker) and bleeds more easily. I love it. I've heard that it...

Hell ldmack3......I own a 1952 Dodge B3 myself! I swapped a 302 Ford and a 9" rear end into it years ago. I just finished replacing a bent driver's side rear spring two weeks ago. Onto the body work, exhaust, and new fuel tank next. When I'm not working on the house, yard, and Deuce that is.
