    Steel vs. Fiberglass hardtops?

    Well thanks for all the input on canvas, fiberglass and steel tops.......My decision was made up for me today, not by me, but by luck itself. I was searching Craigs list today and came across an ad for a 1971 6x6 Deuce for sale. In the description it said it comes with an extra transfer case...

    Steel vs. Fiberglass hardtops?

    No, I'm not put off by the color mismatch all that much. Don't get me wrong, it'd be great if it was green, but my canvas is older so it dosn't stand out like a "new bright" tan canvase cover would. I could always die it to give it a better color match if need be. As for correctness, the...

    Steel vs. Fiberglass hardtops?

    As of now my Deuce has the canvas cab cover top (it's tan and my Deuce is green :cry:) So I'm in the market for a hardtop to replace the canvas cover. I'm new to the hobby, so I've never personally seen either one up close. What are the pros and cons of steel vs. fiberglass tops? Which one do...

    Earning her keep, well almost :)

    Out of all the places that you could have parked your truck, why did you go and park it right in the middle of the only hole in the entire yard :razz:

    Drive shaft differences, Why?

    On the Deuce, why is there two different style u-joints shafts on the truck? The front shaft and far rear shaft run just a standard u-joint, where as the middle shaft (from t-case to middle axle) uses the bolt on caps. How come it doesn't use a standard u-joint on this shaft? I'm going to...

    My first trip to the sand dunes with my M1009

    Not alot of people up there yet I see. I'm going to try to make it to the dunes myself, a few times this summer. You should paint your trailer OD so it dosn't clash with the blazer.

    Hacking up an M104 vs. M105 trailer?

    Thanks for the price figure, Mike. Last night a M-105 was listed on Craigslist about 50 miles north of me. I called the guy up and he said it was a 1953 M-105, kind of beat up and a little rusty, but no rust holes and not bad for the year. He only used it for wood hauling for about the last...

    Hacking up an M104 vs. M105 trailer?

    LOL, I don't really want to get rid of it. The reason is, after I used my first (current) trailer for the bob, I planned to buy another M-105 trailer to pull behind the Deuce. When I got the 104 trailer, I thought it was a M-105. Military trailers are new to me (I never had one before) so I...

    Hacking up an M104 vs. M105 trailer?

    Here's my dilema.....I bought my Deuce with the intentions of bobbing it. I'm going the route of using a trailer box for the project instead of cutting down the Deuce cargo box. So I had bought a trailer for the box, (here's the delima) As it turns out it's a M104 trailer that I bought, the...

    Why are the Classified Ads hidden in "Resources"?

    When we switched to the "new site" I thought we dropped the classified section. It was a while before I even knew we still had them after the move. I see this question come up in the forums from time to time, so it's a common problem with someone new here. The way it's set up now, the...

    Deuce shear pins for sale

    I'd like to replace the bolt that is still in my winch from when I bought the truck with the proper aluminum pin. So I'd also be interested in some.

    Those with JC Taylor insurance...

    "319" I have my Deuce on my AllState insurance policy, PLPD, same as my other cars/trucks for now. I just sent in my form to JC Taylor insurance just this week. So we'll see if it gets approved. As for your registration, I'd run historic plates, these trucks are almost forty years old, some...
