    NE Penn to Ohio

    Anyone from the NE PA area heading to any upcoming events in Ohio or close by? I'm loooking for a ride for some bows and associated hardware for my 1008. It's over 9 hours each way for me. I thought I might catch someone coming to Findley, Haspin, or any other recovery heading my direction.

    My window only goes down a quarter of the way

    Mine was the same way, one of the clips came off the bottom of the window. When you rolled it down the arm wold swing back and bind it up. I rolled the window up, took out all the screws, then lowered the assembly to take the regulator loose from the good clip. Then you can remove everything...

    Deuce Owners in Northern Ohio?

    Welcome from Southern Ohio, I'm in Ross County, about 4 hours South of you. My registration was easy enough, just had the out of State inspection done when I went to get tags. The weight of the truck requires commercial tags, I chose historical since I don't drive it every day, mostly local...

    Colman's Shackles

    5/8" between the mounting points? My frame extensions measure 1-1/2 with a 1" pin. These "new fangled" cucv's are new to me, this is my first. Seems the learning curve never ends.

    Need a Moderators Help

    You might try to ZIP the files, then mail them as an attachment. Some files will still need split before being ZIPPED. Usually works.

    Added a M1008

    I added a M1008 yesterday. I’ve been looking for a replacement pick-up for a couple years, since I sold my utility truck and my ranger. I don’t really need a utility truck anymore, just a truck to do normal chores and commute the 15 miles to work in. The M1008 seemed like a logical choice. I’ve...

    underpowered winch?

    It's sorta like you pushing a three thousand pound car by yourself. You can roll it, but if you tie a cable on it and stand on a tall ladder I bet you can't lift it. Does that mean you are strong because you can push it or weak because you can't lift it. If you take that cable and thread it...

    What do you use your deuce for?

    I use mine to take the grandson th McDonalds on the weekends. We park in the truck lot! I might haul a little cargo once in a while, drive it to work to be different, 7-8 parades a year, participate in the local Veterans Medical Center events, the occasional extension ladder. Don't forget...

    Mecum auction

    I think that was an older sale. One of my co-workers mentioned it to me and asked if I had seen it. I think it was before the Christmas Auto Auction Marathon on cable.

    Where to buy new rubber lashing for Deuce cargo tops ?

    I also bought the 3/8" If you cut the rope on a steep angle it slides right through the holes without enlarging them, even when very cold. It has been easier to use this winter than the old stuff was last summer. E-bay 150' roll about 3ft for a dollar including shipping. I know some complain...

    medical oxygen tanks for welding?

    The valves can be changed. I would check with your local welding gas supplier. Many suppliers also provide medical grade gasses as well. they might swap you tank for tank, or allow an "upgrade" credit for an "r" cylinder, or whatever size you need. Our local "AIRGAS" store has always been...

    The deuce cover goes so it opens up to the top so the lid pin connects with the cord from the trailer at the top.

    24 Volt Chrismas light string

    Have you ever tried this with LED lights? I've read LED require an extra diode to keep everything "flowing" the right way. I thought LED might be cooler and use less power. I'm attending a Christmas parade and have been asked to use lights to outline the truck. I've thought about inverters but...
