Dueces are one of the worlds best SECOND VEHICLES a person can buy, but could certainly have its challenges as a primary mode of transportation! They are great trucks BUT remember its 40 plus years old, would you buy a 40 year old car as your primary mode of transportation, probably not! As...
Andy that turned out very nice and your idea of using the A2 Davit was definately a good one! Now of course I have to complicate things a bit more on my truck since I have an LWS on it, I am most definately going to have to trim the lip of the bed off and reweld just the curved part back on...
Nice APC and your a true inspiration to hundreds of young people WE need to take over our fleets when we are gone! Great luck and very nicely done Congrats!

Gunzy the hard top looks good, When I got my 925 it had a soft top and I like you replaced it. About a year ago I found the hard top NIB for 900.00 the last one I saw that was NIB they were asking 1800.00

Hey guys I just got back from my first tow in the new hitch. I towed a heavy car trailer with my Unimog on it about 200 miles this weekend, combined towed weight of 10K with the trailer and Mog, I ran my truck about 54 mph the whole way and the new hitch worked perfectly, no sway, cross winds...
10K is a pile of money for a Deuce, for that price it had better be REAL NICE inside and out not to mention complete in every way including winch! Importing into Canada? I am sure its been done but I also bet its not free, that also needs to be figured into your budget. Great trucks very...
You know The A3 is somewhat attractive (IN THEORY) but then you really have to look at the long term expense to own, if its the singles that really get you going, just put singles on an A2, if its the CTIS system that really gets you going you may need some professional help? If its the...
Thanks for your input guys, as always appreciated! The heaviest item that this hitch will ever haul is my car trailer with my pickup on it, that is a combined total of 11,000 pounds and they will not be any off road activities of any kind with that hooked to the truck. I am pulling my Unimog...
Hey guys here is the hitch I put on my 925, I had a priece of solid round stock that I machined to the same dimensions as the stock Pintle on the truck then welded the down tube to it with gussett inside, then the reciever on the bottom. In pic 2 that is the 24 volt to 12 volt converter box for...
I did the inside of the cab on a Deuce partly because it holds up extremely well and also for the sound deadening qualities. Rhino liner has the Govt. contract to supply it to them and they even had it in a rather nice OD color, BUT THE COST would scare most sane people away, it is expensive!!

When I got my 925A1 it had 4 batts that looked brand new, after about 3 months the truck would not crank over, I charged the batts and tried again and still same problem. The batteries all tested out fine all putting out over 12 volts, the only way I finally figured what was good and what was...
All the 939 series trucks are very heavy and do remember that in the best conditions you only are working with 250 HP, it only goes DOWN from there. If your trying to compare this truck with a modern semi tractor, well forget it you are trying to compare apples and hockey pucks. The 939 series...
Thanks Goat I think my problem now is that I have been staring at it fiddling with it trying to figure it out and right now it could be carburetor in my hands and I would not know the difference. This is one of those times where I am just going to walk away for a day and come back and figure...
Hey guys I have a question that somebody else has to have run into before and I needs some suggestions please. I rebuilt my fuel pump on my 68 404 and the rebuild went fine till I tried attaching the fuel pump to the piece that attaches to the block, it had the push rod in it that actuates the...
Concerning the Sugga BBFTX, I am sure that your realize by now that there are some VERY talented folks on this site and some of the levels of restoration work done by some of these individuals is more ART work than restoration, I have been watching your Sugga resto from the beginning and...
Hello Folks just wanted to let you all know that the master Cylinder rebuild went great on my 404 and I actually got to drive it into town, oh did I mention is was directly into a 45 mph headwind, first time on the road and I could just barely hold 6th Gear, should have been in 5th! OK thats...
