Johnson Valley sounds good to me!

What color is the exhaust/smoke ? Maybe its sucking air ??? ( the popping/puffing at idle makes me think that)

David, where exactly is " Truckhaven " ? Camping , fires , shooting , any of these legal ?

Id paint it OD green;-)

Did I mention the Slash X:twisted:

We are scaterred about so cal. Pasadena area, San Berdo area, Santa Clarita area, High Desert. ( I'm sure I'm forgetting other locales ) Our past trips have been to Stoddard Wells/ Victorville for a few reasons: close enough to civilazation if we need parts, offers both rough offroading and...

David , I've not personally been to any of the locations you've mentioned but its not too early to discuss our spring trip:wink:

Bugger " Picker "

:ditto:with one side note, I've been told that you shouldnt mix GL1 with GL5 so to be safe I would drain out existing fluids and refill with GL5

If you cant find it local we've got a salvage yard nearby with mostly 5 ton stuff. Might be a good reason for a road trip to sunny So Cal

I'm ready for the beach too:wink:

Carnac, I didnt think of that one, my flasher still works bit the bulb in the switch stopped working, do you think I'm low on oil too?:wink:

I'm 6' 4" 250 lbs and I fit fine in trucks with Box type seats, but I dont fit if the truck has Springer type seats.

I'd have to agree that its a mid / late 60's truck with exhaust hangers on the frame. I also thought ( might be wrong) that in 85 they started the dual curcuit brake system. If your truck still has the " hood # stenciled on the inside of the doors that could help ID it too. My trucks original...

I'd leave it in a useable condition, IE not worrying about going out wheeling in the dez:wink:

Aside from freight, 125 doesnt seem too high for a NOS boarding ladder

Jpinst, I agree with your thinking on this matter. There is no logical reason a CDL is needed to drive a Deuce. Alittle common sense is all that is required to understand this, of which I understand theres not much of in this socialistic state we live in. I'm just a simple carpenter but I can...
