There was a Deuce in the picture?? Did't notice :whistle:

Looks like a brother to my Deuce. Fiberglass racks and drop sides, winch and hard top - you scored. Good luck with the recovery!

This is great! Just before you freeze to death in the cab in the winter you can climb up back and warm up!

Alternator: depends; if you have shop in your area that can do it, ask for a quote. Also consider replacing stock alternator with a modern type alternator, maybe even go dual 24/12V. Do a search - ready made brackets available for both options. TM America on this site makes bracket kits to bolt...

Not enough eights there! 5/8! The thicker one! :whistle:

5 tons have a 3/8 cable, 21/2 tons a 1/2 inch. Not sure if you can make that fit safely. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?5408-winch-cable-end-replacement-instructions http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?56347-winch-cable-end-help

If you have never operated the winch before, my recommendation would be to check the winch over, before you do anything else. 1) drum lock - engage/disengage 2) winch clutch - engage-disengage; does the flip lock work? 3) can you pull wire off; does the winch drum freespool? 4) open the fill...

IMHO it would be a shame to dismantle an otherwise good truck for parts. I understand that the joy of ownership is somewhat tainted right now. Even if you do not want to mess with that engine anymore (for example, because after this, you just would not trust it anymore), consider pulling the...

Mine has a muffler, Humvee seats, front lockouts and is singled on 11.00-20 Goodyears - and I still would not want to use it as a daily driver. Part of why I love driving my truck is that I hardly ever HAVE to get anywhere with the clock ticking. If I want to, spur of the moment, turn into that...

Exhaust clamp brackets from your favourite tractor supply store. They come with varying spacer thickness.

:popcorn: Awaiting sound of multifuel idling..... hoping for a good update!

If you already love your truck and you have not even heard it run, yet, just wait until you get to drive it! Your wife/gf will report you missing!

I would not cut the soft top for this. I used steel conduit and U bolt pipe clamps in the existing cab holes. I know that the pipe needed to be spaced off the rear cab wall in order to accommodate the soft top and I used the appropriate exhaust pipe clamps with a built-in "spacer". It was tight...

I am using Westfolk's kit that uses a spin-on primary filter with water separator and a spin-on secondary filter (the double bracket is removed). There is considerable doubt as to the effectiveness of the secondary two-filter stock setup; it does not appear as if fuel had to pass through the...

You really need to read and follow this: http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/TM9-2320-209-20-2-1.PDF Chapter 25. Follow the thick black line... Also, make sure you download and have all of the manuals applicable to your truck...

I was going to add the "worthless without pics" icon but then my brain kicked in.

Circuit breakers are on the fire wall in the engine compartment. If you have no electrical, make sure your batteries are still hooked up correctly and the main wires are not broken/chafed through. The auxillary switch ("ignition") on the dash could also be defective, preventing the gauges and...

Some have said that elevator companies are a good source for the cable; they have to switch out cables after a certain run time even if they have no visible defects and you may be able to get the 150 ft you need before they cut the cables up into pieces.

What does the data plate on the passenger side of the dash say about your truck? It appears from the pictures as if the cab were 1970' MERDC camo and the bed was the later 3 colour camo. I wonder what happened there. The truck looks solid, cosmetics aside. Is it a non-turbo multi (thin exhaust...

You did not happen to spool the winch with the winch drive engaged, by popping the clutch handle on the winch in or out? Dangerous. You would stand in the wrong place with respect to a moving steel line and things can get dangerous in a split second when winching. The winch needs to be run from...
