How can those trucks be stuck?? You can still see the windshield!! :razz:

100K DEDUCTIBLE??? 2,000 miles doesn't seem like much, I'd want 5K just in case.

Thanks for the info, I was confused as to why it was designated an LD instead of an LDT. Maybe there was a batch of LD's built with turbo's and the TD blocks.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

Where would it be stamped on the block? I figured there would be something on the data plate on the engine, but there's nothing obvious to me.

My deuce has an LD 465 in it that was rebuilt in '86. It now has a C turbo in it. My understanding is that LD's did not have turbo's. I really don't think any of the previous owners did anything at all to the truck after it was surplused. My question is, did they add the turbo during the...

If you could buy a girfriend at TSC, she' probably be like the rest of the stuff they have, Chinese.

Went down to Fastenal and ordered 6 doz. 3/8" bolts in 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4" lengths with nuts and 2 dozen washers. I also got 2 doz. 1/4" pan head bolts and nuts. It was about $65 for all of that. Grade 5 also.

I've got a 3 color camo cargo cover for a deuce if anyone's looking for one. It needs some minor repairs, has a few pinholes, a couple of tears about 4", a few scuffs on the rear flap, and the plastic rivet on one coners has pulled out. Also needs new super rope. Really cheap, I've got a new...

Hey thanks for all the good info guys, I think I'm going to make a trip down to Fastenal this afternoon. I'm going to try and save some of the bigger bolts (1/2" and up), but the smaller stuff I think I'll replace. It's just not worth cleaning all the rust and chasing threads on those.

Rapco 24087 Baby!!

SELL THE TRUCK??? :cookoo::cookoo:

Are you guys replacing broken/stripped bolts with the same sized fine thread bolts, or are you switching to coarse? Fine thread are much harder to find off the shelf, although I do have a Fastenal fairly close. Sometimes they only offer stuff in large quantities, and they close at 5. I assume...

You can easily rig up a PVC frame to put over your soft top and then throw a cheap tarp over with bungees to keep out the weather. Keeping the tarp off of the soft top a few inches will allow for some air circulation. Mice shouldn't be able to get in if everything is closed up, at least in the...

A man's gotta know his limitations....Especially when backing a truck. :doh:

Thanks, I have a hard top so I would never see it.

Found this in with a bunch of stuff that came with the truck when I bought it. This doesn't look familiar to me, just wonder if any of you recognize what it is. I'm thinking maybe a part to the cab? It's approximatly 5' long.

Okay now what you CAN do is mount you one of those nice quiet Honda generators in the back, put in some subwoofers and really nice big speakers, and some DJ equipment and you're ready for a mobile party platform. Just start spinning up the Hip Hop and Rap..... Uh, Okay, maybe we should...

A CD player in a Deuce is going to make as much sense as a laser sight on a sawed-off shot gun. You'd be better off with some nice earphones and an Ipod, you won't be able to hear anything in a Deuce. The rest sounds doable.

I don't know much about gun rings, but it seems to me that since it has all those bolt holes around the edges, a good shop could fab an adapter to bolt on to the bottom of the ring that would fit the legs. If you could borrow a standard US ring or get good photos and measurements I'm sure...
