I know I could probably search this up, but if someone has info or tips readily available, it would save me time and be much appreciated. I had my guy at work blast my hodgepodge of extra wheels to prep and paint to mount my 11.00s on, and he apparently wasn't paying attention when I told him to...
David Doyle's article on deciphering G-742 truck codes has disappeared. Anyone have a copy saved?
Thanks

Hung out with a deuce buddy today. He has a '90 Toole rebuild with D Turbo that runs really smooth and quiet. Way more so than his '87 D Turbo (needs valves adjusted), my '70 LDT w/ C turbo and fuel turned up, valves adjusted, my '62 LDS w/ big turbo and valves adjusted, or my beater '66...
Deuce identification 1964 M35 Lansing/White
I found another one of my deuce-converted-to-water-trucks at the Motor Transport Museum in Campo, CA.
Has a non turbo multi but appears to have originally been a gasser, small dash, no tach. Rear pass engine mount has bolts, not rivets, which I...
The '70 has always required good hot batts to start, and I have had lots of problems with loose, dirty, or cracked connections melting and burning stuff. In contrast, my '62 has a mechanical (foot) engaged starter and nasty dirty old cables, 24v, and my '66 is 12v with same junk cables, and...
This week I will be attempting to rebuild a trans for my '70 from some parts transmissions. In reading through TM 9-2520-246-34-1, I cannot find the dimension for the OD of the input shaft where it fits the sealing area of the sleeve or ID of the sealing area of the cap/sleeve that fits over it...
New filters, adjusted valves, 70 runs better but not 100%. My LDS in my '62 starts with a bang on one or two rotations with no throttle.The 70 spins a bit and slowly catches unless I floor it. If I don't, it idles slow, like 500 until I bring it up, then it stays about 800. I noticed the shutoff...
...kinda. Storing it until I can get something else sold to buy it. Pretty nice except the trans is blown up.
First pic is with the "water deuce" aka Paramount water truck.
Seems that the clips falling off or breaking is pretty common. I run a machine and welding shop and have access to waterjet cutting and heat treating facilities. I could get some clips engineered (probably slightly thicker spring steel), cut, formed and heat treated for a few bucks a piece I...
Check out his paragraph about fuel filter fit a little ways down. It got me wondering...

I think what he's picking on is the fit of the center cork gasket on the spring loaded cup on the stem in the can.
The suspense was...
Early M35 deuce history (Studebaker)
I've been searching around the forum and the internets, got early M35 history bug bad, and stumbled across this thread on another forum. Skim about half way down and then to the bottom for the deuce stuff. This guy seems to know a lot about deuces...locking...
I have (negative) experience with flat and semi gloss paints on other vehicles. I'm in the desert, so I get fading and chalking from hard water, etc. Handwashing keeps it down some, but wears the paint off. I want to paint my deuce USMC Semi Gloss Forest Green. I'm thinking about doing it in...
