    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I replaced the entire heater/defroster system in my Deuce. Everything down to the resistor, circuit breaker, and fan switch. No more leaking anti-freeze and the controls work very smoothly. I have a new turn signal flasher on order. My next task is to re-plumb the bungled/kinked/leaking copper...

    Kublo's Surplus in PA...Looking for feedback.

    Hey deucedodger.....I'm in Phillipsburg NJ. I own a bobbed M35A2C myself. The dropside bed is awesome feature. Really heavy construction. I may be checking out Kublos myself one of these days.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Nice air steering install! I'm skinny too. Power steering is nice to have. Just got finished installing a new passenger side headlight bucket after I got home from work at 06:30. Painted it O.D. Green at work last night. It was 25 degrees outside and I didn't even feel the cold. Deuce fever will...

    M35a2 Cab Heater Core

    Digger...nice to know. I was worried about it. I plan to do the spin on thing myself in the future. I think I have to replace my T-stat. Takes my Deuce forever to warm up. Got a new temp gauge (and sender in the near future) installed to better monitor it. Think I'm going to go with Shell...

    So what is the true HP out of the LDT-465-1C?

    Congrats on the solo!!!! That's one dream I never accomplished. Glad you did!!!

    So what is the true HP out of the LDT-465-1C?

    I'm thinking the same. Cranking up the boost without internal mods is foolish. The LDS motor is a great start. I myself would do a thorough stock rebuild and be happy with the increase in power and torque the LDS provides. For me reliability rates first and horsepower second. Although, jeez I...

    So what is the true HP out of the LDT-465-1C?

    My Deuce has a White Continental Whistler. I believe the correct rating for this particular engine is 134 hp and 330 lbs-ft of torque. Don't know how it's rated. I've read that installing a non-Whistler D turbo boosts power 15%. That would result in 154 hp.

    M35a2 Cab Heater Core

    I installed a similar heater in my 1952 Dodge 1/2 ton.

    M35a2 Cab Heater Core

    Woodsplinter.........I caked out and bought a new one. Mucho, mucho, mucho dollars. My logic is....why spend money on a 20 to 30 year old used core that may go bad a month after installation? My goal is to make my truck like new by any means possible. Previous hot-rodding experience soured me on...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Jess, not really sure. The pointer in my old tach bounced all over the place. I hope I'll be able to read the new tach better while driving. It would be great to do 55 and still be below the maximum 2600 rpm. I have new headlights and a new horn switch to install before I can drive it regularly...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Wow! 52 mph! I've never had my truck over 40. I'm worried about the whole connecting rod through the block thing. Although, my engine always fires right up as if it wants to run and has 40 psi oil pressure.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Old Duece....That's really neat! Was it hard to do? I'm thinking about doing it in the future myself. I replaced my old gauge panel with one I painted and installed all new gauges in today. My old gauges were impossible to read while driving. Heck, they were hard enough to read parked. I took...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    That's 13 more jumps than I'd have the guts to make! Understand your regrets on a personal level. If I'd have stayed in the Canoe Club (Navy) just one more week, I'd have sewed on my 2nd Class Engineman stripes. Been regretting it for 35 years. Jealous of your winch bro.

    M35a2 Cab Heater Core

    digger... I know all about error. Fortunately for me I'm not as mechanically adventurous as you are. I'm keeping it simple like me. Love my bob just the way he is. Although I did recently install a pair of Ouverson hubs on his steer. What I would like to do long range is swap in a 5 ton...

    Hello From Chattanooga Ten.!!!

    Clinto...I enjoyed watching videos on YouTube of the last GA rally and it was smokin!!!! What a fun time it must have been! Tons of green machines and families and good people. Jeez would I like to be there! I'm talking with an SS guy in south Jersey and we're planning to hook up for a drive. It...
