You might want to give the local hospitals a call ... just to see if they need any help picking up (pretty) nurses from home and get them to work.

I don't need to see anything in particular ... from the little photo ... it looks like a great truck!
I'd just like to see more of...
I've been saving this one so long ... I forget what it came out of. I was going to put in into one of my MGB's.
The number on it is:
SIC (or maybe its a "G") 40-62104-1
SM-21225-1
I sat down with it once and mapped out all the wires to the switches... they all seem to work and I saved the...
Ain't THAT the freakin' truth.
6X6 don't mean "six wheel drive" ...
I APOLOGIZE TO ALL HANDS FOR HAVING A MISCONCEPTION ... AND NOT BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE INFORMATION IN ALL THE THREADS RELATED TO THIS TOPIC.
AS a sign of my repentance for my sin ... I will go and slam my hand...
This post is EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Did you read what I said in post #14?
I didn't need an explanation of the working of a differential ... I know how they work.
From all the OVER-EXPLANATION that goes on ... I couldn't tell if thee diff's were locked, unlocked, purple, pink or...
WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
It is VERY hard around here to get a straight up answer to a question.
Apparently I was sadly mis-informed. I was led to believe from the threads I read that the axles were ALL locked!!!
I SAID I had searched this topic ... and I said I was confused by all the...
Soooo ... you think with all wheels turning at the same speed in a corner ... fighting against one another ... the truck will bet BETTER MILEAGE???
Let me re-ask my question...
ahem.
Can locking hubs be installed on the rear axle of a bobbed 4x4 Deuce?
NOT a 6x6.
Can somebody recommend a...
What's up pal ... did I pi** in yer corn flakes by mistake?
Tires spin at different rates in a corner ... all FOUR wheels.
My understand is that all axles of a Deuce are locked ... ALL wheels turn at the same rate.
By unlocking the rear AND the front the truck will corner at low speeds...
Can locking hubs be installed on the rear axle of a bobbed 4x4 Deuce?
I have a 68 AM General that I am going to bob. I would like to install a set of MANUAL locking hubs, one on the front, one on the rear, in order to improve "in-town" and parking lot maneuverability.
This truck will only see...
Thank you for your kind assistance!!!
BZ's to all hands, your lovely wife and little dog too!

BTW ... the gauges in the truck work fine (except for the fuel gauge) ... the previous owner just didn't know to tap them with a knuckle or screwdriver handle.

Thank your for the kind post ... I'm glad that everything worked out for you.
I picked up mine ... and drove back over 600 miles from Maryland to NoGa ... no problems with the top ... and with the heater I was fairly comfortable. I only had to wear my field jacket with its liner ... and a...
Guns????
Some of you Deuce guys like GUNS?!?!?
No kidding!
I live in a moderately uptight community too ... one with rules and EVERYTHING.
There ain't NOTHING in them rules about a Deuce in the driveway.
I can't wait!
Good luck with the bob job. I should be starting mine shortly.

The final piece of the puzzle. This has been what I have been looking for.
See picture below.
Now that I see it ... I can make it!
At least two different ways!
Now I got to get busy.
Let's see what this old Goat comes up with.

and an OUT...
I kinda have to agree.
I think I have been asking a VERY simple and direct question ...
but this thread has gotten a LOT of off topic replies. I've gotten a LOT of advice and I have taken ALL OF IT to heart
... but, honestly, most of it has been of little relevance to my question.
I KNOW...
Perhaps I was not clear in the way I asked my question.
I do NOT need to know HOW to install the top.
I need to know how the black vinyl piece is sewed to the top.
Refering to the pictures I posted above ... Should it look like the plastic piece along the side windows?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your very kind offer ...
But I bought a BEAUTIFUL insulated camo top ... from an OUTSTANDING young (ex) Sailor! Along with a number of other parts I needed to get this done.
If I can whip this front mount thing I got it made!!!! I still got a couple days to get it...
