    Who Uses the Recommended Starting Procedure?

    Recommended procedure works for me. Half throttle in the summer, full throttle in the winter. Of course, I'm off the throttle as soon as she starts to light up.

    Excellent! E-bay motors let you narrow your search by distance from your location.

    New 12 V mod for my Deuce & other stuff

    I like the way you stuffed a third battery into the existing battery box. And yes, get rid of those front tires ASAP.

    Sounds like you need to round up some friends for a "help me finish my truck" party.

    I never knew rabbits climbed up into engine compartments (rats, yes) UNTIL I started up my deuce after it had been sitting in a field for a while. Score: Deuce 1, Rabbit zero.

    M54 GVW Question

    What are you planned uses for the truck? Is there a historical registration in your state? It could save you mucho dinero on registration and insurance, IF you can live with the restrictions that come with historical status.
