Mine always drops a little oil when it's warmed up, but when everything cools down it stops.

You can probably find a pic if you search google, of someone that's done this. I flipped my 15.5's (rears), I think it helps stability a little, also the rears are in-line with the front after they're flipped. Before and after: First pic was when I was first putting them on. It should be...

Is there a reason why you don't have 2 deuces?

I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly. I read an article that purported the idea that many long haul companies inflate their tires too high, but not past the recommended max and this can lead to premature tire wear.

New shocks. I used Monroe 66605, which I read about on a thread here. I've owned the truck for 3 years now and have no idea how old the old shocks were. They seemed in ok shape when I pulled them off, but they were smaller than the ones i replaced them with. Also, it's a pretty cheap repair...

If you have a standard square hitch, there are variable height receivers. Make some measurements and make sure you find one that has a good range.

What about front tires vs the back two axles? I'd think you'd want a higher number in the front because they carry more load, presuming that you're not carrying anything.

If you want to know whether or not you have a C or D turbo: Does it sound like Satan mowing grass? Then it's a C turbo. If your ears don't bleed, parents don't take their kids off the street, and you can hear yourself yell, then you have a D turbo.

I still see some on gov surplus auctions, but they've usually been sitting in a back lot somewhere and are badly weathered and don't run. I got mine from someone on here.

This reminds me when the city repoured the sidewalk in front of my house, they asked me not to drive the truck over it for a month, and they also told me they poured it extra thick for my house. For your tie downs, maybe this can help: http://imfmotorpool.com/010913.PDF

I read earlier in your thread that you don't go to car shows. Might I suggest you try a general car show. I do 2-3 a year and I first thought no one would care about my old truck around all those classic cars, but instead I spend the day talking about the truck. Mine is often the only vehicle...

You could always apply a dozen layers of clear coat and wax that up. Again, it's your truck if you want it to look shiny, more power to you, it's not like you'll be going to war in it.

Installed a new fuel sender at the tank. Of course it didn't take the 5 min I thought it would because one screw was stripped and because it was next to the fuel line my 1/2" shank screw extractor wouldn't work... Everything's a production with this truck.

I think it would depend on what kind of paint you have and how much time you have to work all the variable shapes around the truck. I know it wouldn't work on my truck, but if you've got some more conventional paint on yours, meh, go for it. I mean, if you treat it like a show truck, why not...

My neighbor may be building a fence soon (my deuce is too wide for my driveway and is partially on their land) so I've made arrangements to store it at a friend's place, out in the woods. I've already looked on Amazon and found a 20' x 40' tarp that I was thinking I'd stake around the truck to...

My plate is mounted on the rear mud flap splash guard just below the frame, driver side (though I don't think that would matter). Front plates are required in my state, but I've never bothered with a front plate and have never been stopped for it - and I drive this thing a thousand miles+/year.

If you're looking for authentic... http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/m35a2_camo.pdf http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/TB43-0147.pdf http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/TB%2043-0209.PDF

Don't know your long term plans, but with that extra tank, you could convert it to diesel and put in a dual fuel switch. Start/finish on diesel and put something else (used motor oil) in the main tank. And we're getting way off topic.

Conceal carry might be a problem overseas, I might bring a flint lock though, many gun regulations don't apply to it because it fires so slowly. I have an aussie, but she's a sweetheart.

I'll be redesigning my own panel in place of the original for things I want to glance at while the truck is in motion (speed, tach, pressure gauges, temp gauges, fuel tanks, etc). The panel above the windshield will have other items that I don't need to look at as much, usually at start up or...
