When I prepped my Deuce I removed as much as I could including the bed so I could get behind the cab and the the frame rails and under pinnings if you can get the litttle things sanded by hand then put them back in the truck prior to painting thats fine but ANY LOOSE or looks to possibly let...
I believe what your looking for is called Welting, the two places I have gotten it before are Midwest Military, Vintage Dodge Power Wagon and a few years ago I am pretty sure I got some out of Memphis Equipment. Hope this helps

Is 5500 a good price for a Deuce? Well based on virtually NO information, NO pictures I would not have a clue? Have you driven the truck? Does the engine run? do the brakes work? how is the glass? do the doors work? how does it shift? where are you finding rust? how does the oil look? does...
Joe great to see your still kicking and glad to see the 419 is doing the same! What have you and the MOG been up to lately, anything fun and frivolous?

I dont know if things have changed or not but I bought an M920 from a construction company in CA who had bought the truck as a heavy hauler for big equipment when the owner went into the DMV to register it as a commercial truck they essentially laughed at him and said its NEVER going to happen...
I saved one from a scrapper and its being rebuilt by another fellow in our club, I did some research on the trucks when I was buying mine and according the the OPP manual they were expected to get around .75 MPG I am expecting that to be with the 844 ci gas engine and not the Cummins 300. The...
Thanks much Coffey and I wish I had an SEE to accomplish this job with, it looks like I will drive it into my shop and use a chain hoist from a steel rafter and lift it out and re install it with that. I think an SEE would be MUCH BETTER Coffey!

Hello Gunzy its great to hear from you, is the mustang officially on the road yet? Thanks much for this info Gunzy, I knew it had to be either coolant or trans oil in those lines. I am going to pull the truck into my shop and use a chain hoist to lift the radiator out of the truck, after I get...
AMgen there are about 3 or 4 Russian trucks that I would love to get my hands on and THIS is one of them, is it a petrol or diesel engine, what is the configuration of the engine is it a straight 6 or a V-8? Congrats is a very neat looking truck, like Tennmogger said I an envious!!!

Hey guys I am getting closer to getting this done before the snow starts flying and in going through the TMs on this procedure there are a couple things I had questions on, one was the weight of the empty radiator and NDT and I both came up with the 350 pound estimate, if anybody knows for sure...
You know guys I dont know how all this works but a friend of mine found a Deuce from a small town in MN fire dept. he was driving around and saw the Deuce having its water tank removed and there was a M35A3 parked in the back. He went around and talked to the fire chief and the Deuce was given...
Thanks NDT you confirmed what I already (finally admit) knew. I looked at the TMs for radiator removal on this truck and they tell everything except how much this radiator weighs, do you have any clue? Thanks again NDT!!

Hey guys well I seem to have another project on my hands that was unplanned. A few weeks ago I noticed a coolant leak on my HEMTT it wasn't terrible or anything like that so I was on my way home and I was about half way on a 70 mile trip, I had a couple gallons of coolant with me so I dumped...
You guys know I laugh at people who think their stuff is worth 5 to 10 times what we all know its REALLY worth and I think is ridiculous that they are wasting time and money even asking those stupid prices for their stuff, Maybe I have been proven wrond and need to STOP laughing, like Wes said...
