I am seeing a few things that look like they may be 12 volt, turn sugnals on the fender, the turn signal actuator (blinker unit). You may look at the head lights and see if they are 12 volt as well. Just a thought.
Welcome home brother! I am heading down your way in the morning. Got a job outside of Ft. Collins. The people on here are amazing. A real good group.

So do you think 5000.00 is out of line, Patracy? Truck is real rusty, no winch, bed has holes in it and has been pretty much used up. Oh and there is a puddle of oil under it that would rival the Exxon Valdeize!!
Looked all over SS for a value on this thing. Found it quite by accident while driving the Deuce around today. M51A2 wo/w bretty beat up old truck, and I think the guy is asking too much. What do you experts think the value on one of these is?
Got my new to me deuce home a couple of weeks ago. Been driving it around some and noticed it was pouring out a LOT of smoke. It didnt have the power I thought it should either. When it was ideling, I noticed that it had a funny sound under the hood. Time to investigate. Sound coming from...

Thank you all for the good info! I have been swapping 3/4 ton stuff into 1/2 tons for years. this is my first expedition into 1 ton and larger. Seeing how I have 2 M1010s, I think what i am going to do is find some 1 ton dually axles and change everything over to single wheel. I am going to do a...
my truck will be almost all highway use. My dumb a$$ didnt do any researck before i started.... now i am paying for it. just hopingto get some better gears.
This is for all of you that dont know this. A 3/4 ton axle out of a 3/4 ton GM pickup will not fit without serious modifications. My rear axle was out of a 78. spring spacing was wrong, shock mounts were 180 degrees out, and that is where i quit. Will be putting the original back in tomarrow
