I buy most all my parts from Memphis Equipment. They have everything & their shipping is fast.

It's obviously a fluid pressure operated brake light switch. Unless there is one hooked up somewhere else, you have no brake lights!

Sounds to me like your trans was partially stuck in 2 gears. Something's hanging up or worn. As long as you know what to do to get it moving, it may not be a big deal. I've driven trucks with that same problem for years.

Our '52 gasser is a great old truck, for a 57 year old truck. But it's still a 57 year old truck. Definitely not something I would drive regularly or very far. Everything in it is just.......old. That being said, I would probably buy that truck in a heartbeat. As long as you know how to work...

Looks great, recon. I've had all the components to install mine for 2 or 3 years, but can't seem to find the time.

Green_gator You're probably right about it being easier to get at the oil sending unit by removing the forward trans tunnel cover. Could get better leverage too. I had the air filter out, as I was working on my under dash heater. And I really didn't expect it to be so tight!

Sending unit is on the passenger side, towards the rear of the engine. I couldn't read the pressure rating with it installed, so I removed the air filter bowl to get to it. Mine was very tight. Good luck!

Sloppy design, poor construction! I think you should just give up & give it to me at the Kokomo Reunion. Eric

FWIW- I used to have the same problem. The company IT guy downloaded something called "trayping" & cured the problem. I guess it somehow keeps the site "open". That's all I know about it. Good luck!

I will guess there is a small electrical plug-in to the upper right of the passenger side headlight too. My first Deuce had the "arctic" setup. I know what it is.

Picked up my 1st Deuce in NW Minnesota. Drove 960 miles with temps from 10 to 25 degrees F. The absolutely MOST important thing is to plug the holes. Duct tape & paper towels shoved into gaps. You do get a fair amount of heat from the engine, but the Big Buddy heater works really well. You may...

Welcome from CBVET in Knox! There is a wealth of info on this site, & it's free!

My Marine buddy was out playing in the snow in his Mite today. Never got to do that while in the Corps!

I'd prefer just M35, so the gassers would be included. And MV "Freaks"? No thanks. I'm an "aficionado". Show some class. :-D

Too bad. Same weekend as the 28th Annual VietNam Veterans Reunion in Kokomo. Me & my trucks will be there. These trucks may live forever, but my veteran buddies won't.

Hey, thanks guys!

Having just experienced a frozen compressor, I think the cheap & simple evaporator is a great idea. My own fault. I started the engine without clearing away the snow covering the mushroom. After about 10 seconds the compressor stopped turning. Frozen. Got it into my shop & warmed it up...

Two of my Deuces have rebuild tags on the engines. Can anyone tell me where "TEAD" and either "ESOK" or "FSOK" (hard to read)are? Thanks, Eric

srodocker- Was he smokin' that rope? Just kidding. Someone on here tried the "rope trick", and it just didn't work.
