I bought my truck after a short visit to this site. My recovery was likewise 750 miles and came off almost completely without incident thanks to the help of a stellar SS member. Enjoy it, every day coming home from work when I turn onto my street and see my truck in my driveway it makes me smile.

I am surprised at how many folks on here mentioned something about pulling the hand throttle out. When I fire my deuce (after doing all the safety checks) I just hit the starter button and it fires up; no touching the pedal, no pulling the hand throttle. It idles ~800 RPM's. Do I have my...

nopics I'm just sayin'...............

I used a complete redneck solution to drill my frame holes - but it worked (wish I would have taken a picture.) I grabbed a medium length rubber tie-down and hooked one end on the frame in front of the drill. Then I wrapped the tie around the back of the drill, stretched it as tight as humanly...

I just registered my bobbed deuce in Sacramento last Friday. You can drive it with a class C license since you removed an axle - historic registration has no relation to the class of vehicle you are licensed to drive. The DMV inspector came out, looked it over and said 'cool truck!' I went...

Amen brother. I had a sledgehammer, chisels and farm jacks for my bob-job. The biggest power tool I had was a 4" angle grinder and a guy named Miguel.

DUG: those are some slick mods, I like 'em both.

Can we get some pic's of those? Really interested to see both.....

A'ight - thats good to hear. I was concerned I was losing fuel from somewhere else as well and was going to need to replace/rebuild the HH. I will try the screw and see where that gets me. Presuming I can find one.

Here's your chance to brag about your best work ;-) Whats the best/favorite mod you've done to your deuce? All I've done so far is single & bob, so this is a selfish post (I'm looking for ideas.) Show us what you've got - pic's prove you did it.......

Tks Ranger. When I took mine out and then re-installed it, I went from leaking fuel vapors when warm to to squirting jets of fuel whenever the IP is running :(. Gotta' get this thing fixed asap. In the pic I have circled the puff of fuel vapor. I took this before I had removed and...

Looks sharp, love the tires.

Would it be possible to seperate out the listings for vehicles being parted out? It would be great to be able to see that as it's own category.

Cheers mate. I am glad to hear this is a fairly common problem, and it sounds like it's an easy fix. I have to move in a couple of weeks and can't afford for my truck to be out of commission. One last question: when you removed your screw and inspected it, was it apparent there was something...

Ranger - I have this exact same problem. When I pulled the delivery screw out I removed the screw and a spring, but I did not see a valve or any other component in there. After reinstalling the spring and screw, the leak was much worse (shooting jets of fuel out at idle :(.) Did you pull a...

My first go at the DMV they tried to tell me I needed to smog my truck ('67 multifuel.) We had words. They then retracted their request for a smog certification. I finally completed my registration today (8hrs, 3 trips and 2 DMV's later.) I ended up registering it as an antique. That was...

I weighed my bobbed deuce today. It's a standard M105 bob, using the trailer springs and helper leafs (frame shortened ~3'.) Softtop w/ow, no bows or tarps, 1/4 tank of fuel. Stock 9.00x20's. I had removed the spare tire, and all the tools from the toolbox. 9,360lbs.

Hmmmm, good question. For a brief period I was running a mix of WMO and diesel, what I found in the area where the fuel shut-off cable attaches appeard to be oil, so I assumed the WMO had somehow pooled there and remained. It's totally possible it was just oil, and the fuel I was finding...

It's amazing how much burlier a duece looks with the 395's on. I like the NDT's and appreciate them for the value they have - being a good all-around tire. But the 395's just look sharp; and hey, the extra 10mph sure doesn't hurt......

Ditto.
