Use extreme caution when removing the water manifold bolts. They have a tendency to break of. I did a light tap on each one with a hammer, soaked them with PB Blaster, light tap again, and removed them. None broke off. I replaced all of them with grade-8 bolts and used anti-seize compound...
3dAngus,
Glad you got fast resolve. As mentioned, EBay has great buyer protection. Send some pics of the truck when you get everything back together.

Shannon,
Nice install. You really will enjoy the comfort of the a/c. I am glad I took the time and effort to install mine. Did you use the twin belts or the serpentine setup? Today, I replaced the Autozone belts with Gates Green Stripe 9555 FleetRunners. Without the tensioner pulley, the belts...

I am about to install a 10,000lb Garwood winch on the Deuce. I have installed the PTO and the shift lever mechanism. I feel I have the correct amount of "play" in the output shaft at the PTO. My question is: with the truck running, can I engage the PTO from the cab to make sure it is working...
