    My new Air Force truck

    Well, a re-marked IANG truck anyway:-D Not quite the right font, but I doubt anyone around town will notice:roll: This old girl will probably be green soon anyway with 45th markings. Picture kind of pixilates the characters, the edges are actually quite smooth.

    I haz whistle!

    I think they check them to make sure they dont sell an LDS as a whistler,( I know its easy to tell by looking) he said some just dont sound right though. I think the whistle comes from the way the back half ( nearest seal ) of the exhaust turbine is squarely exposed to the exhaust flow, it looks...

    I haz whistle!

    They have a couple options, give 'em a call for prices. I did have the D, and there's nothing difficult about changing them out unless you have some stuck hardware. Everything on mine came off easily.

    I've got a spare door that's a factory semi gloss dark brown. It is stenciled " U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. MANPOWER DIVISION" I remember seeing forestry trucks this color as a kid.

    I haz whistle!

    I thought I could resist the urge, but I gave in & bought a C from Boyce. Now I have a wonderful whistle:-D I'm sure my neighbors are as pleased as I am. I had first won one on Ebay, but the C pictured was not what I got as promised. that guy gave me a full refund & paid shipping back too, wish...

    Just realized my seatbelts are wrong

    Just realized my seatbelts are wrong-need part! My MWO for seatbelts must have been done when the truck had a box seat. Just realized there are no tethers between the cab & spring seat, just the belts bolted to the seat. Anyone have a pair to sell? PM me if you do:!: Could also use one...

    1971 Deuce with correct paint completed

    Looks great !! What a transformation from a parts truck:!: Mine will be close to that color (maybe 34087? ) some day, but certainly not that nice. I don't plan on attempting to strip my 2 layers of CARC & all the texturing off the bumber & fenders. I'll be watching for you in Iowa. If you...

    Looks good. Where did you get that plate light? Flush mount 24 volt??

    Will a "C" turbo work on an LDS 465 1A engine?

    Let me know when you get tired of it, I'll be happy to run up there & switch it out for my D for you;-)

    What NOT to do to old canvas

    Yup, pry the top down at points about 10 inches in from each side. Get a screwdriver stuck all the way in to the back plate so you dont rip the canvas. Took me a few WTFs to figure it out:oops:

    bobbed deuce

    Awesome work, nice to see the fenders match front to rear. Is that box channeled too? Very clean looking:cool:

    Pre luber install

    Takes a little over a minute for the needle to move. Just about the time it takes to get tired of holding the switch.

    Pre luber install

    I've been reading all the pre luber threads on here since before I won my deuce. Made a unit from a stripped-down fuel transfer pump first. It worked, but would not have enough torque to handle cold oil in the winter without a reduction drive. Just about said screw it & was going to set up...

    What NOT to do to old canvas

    Household appliances can be useful for many non-traditional needs :-D I've used the oven & freezer for shrink fitting parts I machined & curing gun-kote finishes ( very stinky ), and have tried the dishwasher on oily Garand stocks before I knew it was bad for the wood. Even did some stove-top...

    What NOT to do to old canvas

    Now there's an idea. It could be a rare prototype bench seat cover from M35 serial number 1:wink: Certainly more interesting than the "Tookie toast"

    What NOT to do to old canvas

    So I had this black crap on my passenger seat back. I power washed the canvas with hot water & it looked real good & didn't affect the old material at all. I thought maybe a run through the washing machine would make it even cleaner so in it went. 20 min. later,opened the lid & found a pile...

    M Series Door Latch Repair

    Nice job. Its always a plus when you turn the knob & something actually happens:-D I just got done with mine too. all the contact surfaces on the cam & hook were so badly worn I had to build them up with weld & grind them back into shape. Then I had to weld an extension on the back of my latch...
