Lance, I used locust for all three beds. Images attached show the work for Joel's truck. Whit oak has a tendency to warp and if you want oak, use red oak, which is what the original decking was made of as far as I could tell from grain size etc of the left-overs from my bed.

Appreciate the images. Yes, the number of "block anchors" was apparently reduced by one when the truck got its own model number (M756A2). I have prepared decks for 3 different trucks and they all had 13 boards, but never the same widths, each truck had the boards distributed differently across...

Nice job, I remember you scratching your head over this little problem during my visit back in '06 (can't believe it's over 3 years ago). You may want to consider cotter pins for more of those nuts...or are those self locking?

Here is Kenny's pipeline data plate. My bed was made as an individual unit with its own data plates and the truck may have had any dash mounted tags depending on which truck was converted. That was the original idea, according to David Doyle's research, the complete m756 model came later in the...

Start from the beginning and load test your batteries. The voltmeter will show full voltage, but the batteries may be sulfated or poorly charged. Best battery tester is a hydrometer. Low battery charge will drop the voltage while cranking and increase the current to the starter under demand. The...

Last year I made and installed a magnetic fuel filter to help prevent damage to polished metal to metal seals on the lds465-2 engine. After only a few hours of operating the engine and mostly at idle/low rpms some metal dust is trapped by the filter. (Just an update, couldn't find my original...

Got one I won't be needing, $50 plus shipping (FedEx ground). PM me if interested...

Good job organizing this event Clinto! With so many participants now, do you have a "first aid station" in your plans or did I miss reading about it?

Thanks for the update. Need to work on my homework, I guess..lots of diesel gensets out there these days.

Check this site out for the 4a032 engine problems (I'm assuming that's what you have). Military 3kw 4A032 Engine Question.. - Generators & Motors General Discussion If your battery is "dry as a bone", you need more than water. :-)

Non-heated biofuels could be a problem in MO.

Nice work Will and dittle! Thanks for posting... I think I need to upload more M60 stuff on the PS mag section...

He apparently deleted all his posts ("westfolk")...

The toolbox on the "pipeline" truck (m756) is pretty secure too...could be made waterproof and is almost a full 8' long with doors on each side of the truck.

Like with everything else, there is a manual, TM 9-2610-200-20. I don't like the duck bill hammer, could be very traumatic for the tire if not handled exactly right. (The TM makes it look easy, but that was when the tire was fresh and the wheel nice and clean)

Agree with Kenny, sell them separately...

Right, and any difference in the ground potential between the dash (instrument) ground and sending unit ground will produce an error. What brand is the gauge? The older SW or the new plastic Faria?

Check shipping charges when buying these, it would be considered 1lb via UPS. Ask to have them ship USPS first class mail...less than a buck....

Get a good assortment of tools and learn how to maintain it. Change engine oil on schedule and make sure your fuel system is clean and free of any rust. Drive it often and add instrumentation so you know what's happening.

Here is a "bare bones" version of the pcb assy, which I have had in the deuce for years. This one goes on the 8x8...
