    Winch Deuce on GL for $1100

    Got it fixed with no problem, I just didn't know the brakes needed bleeding so I didn't take my power bleeder with me. From what I have found out this was an air force truck used on LRAF base in some training to introduce airmen to hostile conditions, it has been sitting in a compound for at...

    Winch Deuce on GL for $1100

    You are welcome to come but without an on base sponsor they won't let you on the base, I have a 5 day pass is the only way I can access the truck. They are serious about those airplanes!

    Winch Deuce on GL for $1100

    All: Thanks for the offers of help and the rant? I aborted the mission yesterday about two and a half hours into the trip when I was held up by a traffic accident on I-40. Not enough time to kick the tires for my taste before driving it the back roads home! I plan on getting there early...

    Winch Deuce on GL for $1100

    Heading down to Little Rock Air Force Base this morning to have a look/repair the deuce I won down there. Thought I would top off all the fluids, air up the tires after I get her started and do a field repair on the dog bone for a drive home early next week.

    Winch Deuce on GL for $1100

    As far as I can tell it was an air force truck for the last 5-6 years with little to no maintenance done on it in that time? Any help with the dog bone is appreciated. I am going to drag my feet on the EUC, I have a plant shutdown in the third week of August which would work out great, of...

    Winch Deuce on GL for $1100

    I placed a low bid on a Deuce at Little Rock AFB today and won it for $1120, are they down that much or were they scared off by the suspension damage? It is worth more that that for scrap!! Now how do or do I need to fix the suspension damage to drive it 70 miles home?

    M128A2C Semi Trailer Title Question

    In Arkansas all you need is a bill of sale on a vehicle/trailer over 25 years old for a registration/tag. May be the same in NM?

    How to use m35a2 slave cables

    I think the manual tells you to hook up the charging vehicle first then the "to be started vehicle" then crank up the charging vehicle to avoid damage to either vehicle!
