digger...I wish this rain would let up. I repainted a spare dash plate and I've pre-fabbed it with all new gauges. The new dash is sitting in my living room right now. I'm chomping at the bit to get out there and install it. It would be so cool to take BRUTUS for a spin with gauges I can...

Sweet Deuce!

Thanks welldigger. I can actually braze or solder them myself. I live in an apartment. I work in the parking lot. A lot of the good auto parts and repair places around here have disappeared over the years. We are left only with vanilla auto stores that sell chrome license plate frames and the...

Clay...I have T831 tires mounted on my bobber (dualled). I also have hydraulic power steering. I noticed that at speeds over 20 mph on uneven roads they wander a bit. I have to constantly make small corrections to the steering wheel to remain on track. I found that the people I bought the truck...

I have a leaking heater core on my Deuce. I want to replace it or the entire heater unit in the engine compartment. I've been searching all of the websites I normally buy parts from and have come up empty. Does anyone know where I can get a new heater core or the entire heater assembly? Thanks...

Fine looking M38a you have there. The wiring does get a bit crispy over the years doesn't it? I'm running into some wiring issues with my M35a2 as well. I may be doing a front and rear harness in the future myself. Keep at it! Love the planes by the way.

Sweet truck! Well done! I hope you enjoy many fun and safe miles in your honey.

ANGRET.....thanks!!! I'm going to have to do this myself. Your pictures and instructions will be a big help.

10-4 Thanks! I'll take out my multimeter and do just that. Erik made the same suggestion. The headlights were fine before I installed the connector. Thanks Doghead!!!

Ain't that the truth!

I installed one of those wiring converters from Erik's that makes the front marker lights come on with the headlights. When I switched to "service drive" it worked just as it should in the parking lot. The headlights and park/marker lights were both on. I decided to run a few errands, so I fired...

Jess, your Xls really do have an aggressive tread. Looks like they'd be great off road tires for sure. Working three twelve hour midnights in a row starting Friday. Take care everyone.

Thanks for the link Phil. Man, you own a lot of military heavy metal. I always had a thing for flatbeds myself. I'd like to see a picture of yours.

Nice! That is one heavily modded Blazer! It must really motor nice off road I bet. Probably has plenty of power. Luck on the M52 and the M35s.

Duh! That was pretty dumb of me not to realize that. I guess I won't be appearing on NCIS any time soon. 50 psi. Check. Are XLs 16 ply? Are yours 11R-20 too? I think you told me they were. Do they steer straight ahead well? They must have really deep tread like mine. It has to be over and inch.

Thanks on both counts Tuff Truck Guy! I can't stop looking at him from my third floor apartment slider. The original gauges in my truck are frosted and hard to read and I don't think the water temp gauge is accurate. I like to know what my engine and the other systems are doing, so gauges are...

Jess, Who is Steve? My brain might be addled. Yeah, I'll have to patch things up with my Mom. Life is odd sometimes. No. When driving my bob yesterday it felt no different than it did before the hubs. The steering is still a bit jittery over 25 mph. The trucker I spoke with though my tire...

Steve...thanks for the pics. The brakes look fantastic! Who makes the kit? Turbo.....good luck with the registration. I don't see why it shouldn't go through. I have Progressive insurance on my car and my son's pickup too. My Deuce has it's own policy though. Jess...My Mom and I had an argument...

You're probably right about the tree. The center section of it's massive trunk had zero decay. Thanks for your kind words regarding my truck. Your M1009 is a practical vehicle. The camo paint scheme is really nice! I wasn't a big fan of bobbing Deuces either, but it made sense to do it for...

Wow! Awesome brakes! Does the installation require a lot of fabrication? Welding? Machine work?
