Go through your brakes. Wheel cylinders are plentiful and not that expensive. As are the brake hoses. NOS master cylinders can be reasonably. Airpack rebuild kits are available for both long and short as are the commonly rusted long cans. These are heavy trucks with hydraulic brakes and you...

Good to know rustystud! Thanks!

As already stated, check your shoe adjustment first. That will make a big difference in pedal travel. But go through your brake system. These are heavy trucks and your brakes need to be up to snuff. The first thing I did with my Deuce was replace all the hydraulic components, wheels cylinders...

I added a set of NOS quick drains and cables found on eBay for cheap $. They replace the stock petcocks on the tanks. I still have to reach by the forward duals in past the mud flap but it’s better than crawling under the truck! They take a minute or so to drain the tanks and I do have to...

Wow, that frame off looks amazing! How many gallons of 24087 so far?

What a great find! Those 10 tons are beasts. Great to see them being saved.

I was very excited to find a copy of the 1964 M103/104/105 trailer TM on EBay this weekend. That was exciting!

We did a 5 hour drive (2 1/2 in a car!) to Weare, NH in July. Due to a throttle linkage issue, I could only eke about 45mph on good, smooth roads (which there are not many of in the Northeast). With NDCCs, manual steering, traffic, turns, single circuit brakes, solid, axles with leaf springs...

Holy moly buy it! That looks clean for sitting that long! A spare tire AND a Jerry can! Aren’t those usually pilfered first! This looks like a great project to start with. Go for it.

Sounds like good quality time with the old man. I worked with my dad on his 71 Z28 for a year and a half, now he watches me work on my Deuce. Can’t beat that time spent! I picked up my 71 General Products Division W/W for $2600 with an M105 trailer. Couldn’t pass up that deal! Great advice on...

Congrats! Just got my first Deuce just before Christmas. The downloads available on this site and the information provided by the long time members is invaluable. Spend a couple evenings with a nice cold drink and peruse through the -10, -20, -20P and -34s. Plus there are numerous supplements in...

We sure did, the rally was great fun and we will be back next year. Put 320 or so miles on and had a blast!

I recently became obsessed with mounting an M11 Decon apparatus in our 71 deuce. After scouring the threads, I discovered that there was not a lot of info on the “proper” mounting location. I’m sure the motor pool stuck them wherever they could at times similar to fire extinguisher locations! I...

Great meeting you today Art! The girls and had a great time and will definitely be back again next year.

Thanks Mark, I appreciate the info! Looking forward to it as this is my first time. My 2 daughters are coming with and I’ve decided to drive our deuce there.

Hi. Planning on going Friday from Maine. My first time and am debating on driving my M35A2 there. Any suggestions?
