    Who Designed Alt. Bracket?

    I don't like the new handbrake. When the brake is set and and I swing my legs out of the cab, the end of the handbrake pokes me in my left upper leg.

    Need help with winch part

    I need a drag brake adjusting screw. If you don't have an extra, I would appreciate it if you could take yours out and then photograph it next to a tape measure. Several views would be nice. I think I can make one on my lathe.

    Transfer case PTO question

    I think that there were a few deuces made with rear devices like hole drilling equipment and maybe a winch for a wrecker. Try looking for them in the tech manuals.

    Saveable ? What's it worth ?

    It isn't worth more than scrap price. Offer $200 if you can get a clear title.

    If my deuce can't be camo, what color???

    Painting it to not stand out? It's like trying to hide an elephant in a strawberry patch by painting it's toenails red.

    questions about paint guns & related equipment

    Okay, typically the spray pattern is 90 degrees from the position of the two tangs on the spray head. Your paint should be thinned to about the thickness of cheap syrup or just a bit thinner. Turn up pressure to the pot until you get paint out. If the paint splatters, lower the pot pressure...

    Stock Lock rings? Weldable?

    The problem is that one piece wheels have a dip in the middle of the rim to allow the tire bead to be pushed into while the tire machine takes off the tire. Wheels with bead locks have only a flat rim.

    Deuce Security

    There are several options. Fuel cutouts are one, physical locks on the master switch or the engine stop are another. Electrical cutouts on the start button or even a keyed ignition switch are possible.

    Cool home made trailer

    I used an M105 trailer bed, frame and springs for my deuce bob and I was thinking about using the A-frame pintle hitch for the bed to make another deuce into a trailer after I take off the springs for a single axle conversion and the cab for a quad cab modification. All you need to do is charge...

    So am I nucking futz or not?

    The beds are the widest portion at about 8 feet, if you don't count the mirrors. Good NDT's are pretty good since you will have 13,000 lbs sitting on top of them. If you drive the truck a lot, the air assist is worth the money.

    I want to buy an M35a and have questions.

    $1000 to $1500 for the truck from GL + 10% + any local taxes. In TN you will have to pay taxes to the equivalent of the county you are registering it in. I have gotten a title for several trucks by just presenting the receipt from GL. A time or two, they have asked for an SF-97 (ANOTHER $60 to...

    Deuce hiding out in the woods

    You mean to tell me that the county doesn't have any records about who owns the land? No tax records or anything? Check abandoned vehicle laws. Also, it wouldn't hurt the run the VIN through the DMV and see if you get any hits.

    Road trip to Alaska

    zb39 mentioned Canadian fuel prices. Right now it is running at well over $4/gallon. Fill up everything that holds fuel before you enter Canada. Also, you might consider adding sound proofing insulation to quite the cab. The deuce was never meant to be a long haul truck.
