Those look really good. I agree with you the make the Deuce look so much better.

A couple more pictures from today. Hopefully I have fixed the sideways picture problem.

It's been awhile since I have worked on the trailer but the last couple days I have been working like a mad man on it. Today I got the three braces welded in on the rear between the dove tail and the main frame. I welded in the two dove tail supports, two of the 4 tongue to trailer supports, and...

I commute 100 miles everyday with my bobber with 395's. I cruise at 2300 RPM on the I-5 in So-Cal. Indicated speed is 50 MPH. Not sure what my actual speed is but it's fast enough for me.

I have three truck light LED headlights sitting in my garage because of bad grounds. They would start to send morse code while I was driving then shut down. They burnt out something inside of them due to a bad ground. I'm hanging on to them though hoping that somebody will come up with a way to...

I can trigger about half the lights around me in San Diego and none on Camp Pendleton. I have tried rocking back and forth, backing up and moving over. None of it works though. So I end up sitting waiting for a car to pull in behind me.

Nice looking project. Keep us up to date with the build plan and pics

Thanks for the info about E-bay. I took the whole thing apart today and cleaned it all in the parts washer. Put it all back together with a new fuse and it's working again. Not sure for how long so I'll go ahead and order one from the guy on E-bay. Thanks again for the info.

Go for it. It's your truck. I have a 92 F350 with a Cummins in it, there wasn't anything wrong with the 7.3 I pulled but I wanted a Cummins. I have an 03 F250 with the 6.0 in it. It's got 08 heads with factory head bolts with the adapter bushings to make them fit the 03 block, a rebuilt 03...

My Deuce has a fuel pump issue. I keep popping fuses, if I bypass the fuse it smokes the wires within about 1/4 second. I am getting 24 volts to the pump. When I measure resistance I am getting 4.6 ohms resistance between the feed wire and the cage the pump sits in. I am assuming that there is...

I built a hmmwv from parts. Just be careful how much you spend. It gets pricy very quickly. I titled it in Fl as a home built vehicle. The hardest part was all the small parts. I didn't use the original motor or trans or t case though. I think the current owner is trying to sell it. If I ever...

That is one heck of a build. Good job. I can't wait to get back to building my crew cab. It's laying in a bunch of pieces up in the desert where I used to live. Soon though.

My 85 M35 had the same leak. I pulled the hose and found it had a small wear mark on the side closest to the motor. That is where mine was leaking from. I cut the hose and sleeved it with a larger diameter rubber hose. Clamped it on each side and for the last 3 years my temp repair has not...

It was very simple the knurled end the wiper arm atatches to was loose. A couple turns with a 1/2 inch wrench and it works again.

Today I am going to attempt to fix my passenger side window motor. I can hear it moving but the wiper arm won't move. If I turn the lever manually the wiper arm doesn't move either. Hoping it's something simple. I doubt it though.

The fab work looks like it was done right. Good Looking rig

Today while doing a little PM on the Deuce I found my coolant hose going to the heat exchanger was cracked and split. It wasn't leaking but was very close to failing. It was an easy fix. About a year ago a friend of mine rebuilt my steering gear box while I was deployed. Today it started...

Welcome to the site. Tons of info and a lot of help when you need it. Good luck with the generator. I am looking for a 5 kw myself.

Thanks for the info on the T-case. I am still trying to figure out the disconnect system. As for the weight. I am putting the tail lights on it tomorrow and a couple extra pieces of steel then going to take it and weigh it. I'm using the scale on Camp Pendleton. So it can take the length and...

I have found with my truck it runs very well between 2300 and 2400 RPM doing about 59 or 60. I am running a bobbed truck with 395's. It just seems to run best there. As for mileage I am a fanatic about keeping track of how much fuel I put in and how far I go on a tank. I run my main tank down to...
