    Why did you buy your deuce

    It depends who I am talking to. "What are you going to do with it?" is by far the #1 question asked by the average crowd. - I rode in MVs in another life. Just walking up to my Deuce when it sits in the sun in my driveway and smelling the warm, oily odour brings back memories and feelings. -...

    brake hose/flex line replacement

    I searched and also checked the online vendors. Short of taking all hoses off and matching them up one by one, is there a list of NAPA part# for replacing ALL flex brake lines on the Deuce? The cross-reference list does not appear to have them and the online vendors list single hoses, but not...

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    Yes, sir. You never signed anything to the contrary. It is just like any other used vehicle that you intend to sell.

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    Thank You! I was a little disheartened today. I mean...how can you miss five bad axle seals?? Then I set out and changed the alternator belts, fixed the charging problem (I think) and made the stop lights work again. That felt good. I am sure my truck is female. When she feels like it, she...

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    I believe in rules, safety and security. As non-US citizen, I can only observe certain things in the regulating structure, but I will not judge. As a Canadian, I cannot buy a truck, or any item, via GL (while the EUC is ambiguous with respect to citizens of "friendly" countries, GL only allows...

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    Summary : Just under 1000 miles (1600 km), two and a half days on the road and got to meet up with Westfolk. Unproblematic export/import (because I did my homework beforehand). Now parked in my driveway, with stuff to do before she can get plated. I became a member on this site years ago and...

    Recovery trip - assistance IN-CASE

    I drove the truck close to 800 miles in the last two days and made it to Watertown, NY. Shut down for the night. Need to troubleshoot charging system tomorrow, my batteries are dying. Now...bed!

    Recovery trip - assistance IN-CASE

    Thanks for all the offers of help and I hope I will not need a single one of them! I will heed the advice (the black spray paint is smart) and, yes, I will have a box of spares (coolant hoses, hose clamps, DOT5 etc.) which I sent ahead. Since I fly down, I am limited in what I can bring. It is...

    Recovery trip - assistance IN-CASE

    I am recovering my very first Deuce. I believe that I have things prepared as well as reasonably possible when taking a 35y old truck on a 1200 mile trip. My handicap is: no chase vehicle and no second set of hands. I would like to have, as a last resort, a few fellow SS members I could call...

    dropside - side rack and troopseat question

    Is there a difference in the sideracks and troopseats between a regular and a dropside bed? Are they interchangeable between those beds?

    Took the plunge!! 1974 AMG M35A2w/w coming up

    After over three years of lurking, reading, learning and keeping on top of what is for sale where I finally pulled the trigger. It ain't home, yet and I will need your help shortly with some recovery planning. For the time being I am just looking for a way to wipe the ear-to-ear grin off my...

    Commonwealth of Virginia - trip permit question

    I need to bring a Deuce up from Virginia. I have insurance for it. Many states have one form or other of temporary registration or trip permits that allow a motor vehicle to be removed from the state after a sale. I could no find coherent information about Viginia, other than a three day permit...

    Deuce Games

    One good exercise is to have a corner element made of two or four sheets of plywood (standing up). Mark a short length of lane and put the "corner" at the end, simulating a building, loading dock etc. The objective is to back the truck into the "corner" as closely as one dares without hitting...

    And the project has started

    I am curious - so please do not take offence: To me, a dump truck is one of the most useful MVs imaginable. If it is an original dump truck, it is even sweeter. What is the reasoning behind ripping the dump bed off (probably removing the cylinders, PTO etc. as well?) and "dumbing" the truck...
