Drive one 70 miles with no ear plugs and you will be talked out of it.

I fixed the flame heater leak on one of the 1970 trucks I had and sold it two days later. A guy from Junction City Kansas now has the nicest driving deuce I ever drove. I think it was the singled out GoodYear 1100 20 G286 tires that made the big difference. Anyway, he got a very nice truck...

Which door do you need? I have an old 715 that has been robbed naked, but both doors are still there.

My 68 broke in the GL lot. Tapped it to make sure it was returning freely, it was. Fired the truck up and the rpms just steadily climbed. Drove it home towing my 71 with a bungee cord to the seat frame. Felt kind of silly...

There is a nice one in our classifieds in Missouri, buy it so I don't!

Cool stuff! We have some more 101s coming, so stop back by.... I was going to put those on my M101 and try to get a set of four Super Lugs for my M1008. Maybe.....

It should be a want ad, we have a few, are you looking for a chain for a single 11.00 or a set that wraps across the duals?

As I understand, it is nothing magical, a resister and a couple of solenoids. I would think connections and grounds would be first to check. One solenoid at least has to be a continuous duty solenoid. I have about 25 800 series boxes in the classifieds, but have been told the 900 is different. Glen

I try to check mine once a week, I drive it daily, but the thought of a failure has me worried. I am thinking about checking into a set of M923 axles and going to regular air brakes on my deuce.

We had about 60 five tons come through the yard over the past few months. These were M820 and M813 trucks. They are normally mounted on the right front inner fender, however a few were mounted on the left front inner fender. You should have the heater box with fan and four small brackets to...

If he has enough money to build an 800 HP 4BT, why does he care what transmission he destroys? I have been around some really bas azz 6BTs tbat were nowhere near 800 HP. We are talking over 1200 foot pounds.....

Me too, one of my three 1970 trucks is leaking. I had not been driving it for a long time. Fired it up for a potential customer and drip, drip, drip... Now I need to fix it....

I am not a machinist by trade, I did take metals in high school, some 40 plus years ago. I am betting I could get this job done if I wanted to though. I have access to a mill and lathe, also plenty of different metals to work with. I am with the original poster, I would like to try it myself...

I drive mine about 15 to 20 miles a day, unless I have a trip somewhere, then it gets a chance to get good and warm. They sure sound sweeter after a good run down the road! Seems like they start a lot better cold too when you keep them running daily, I suppose it is the lack of fuel leak down...

Sounds like you are exceeding the GVW your truck was designed to work with. The 12V can make amazing power, proven many times. Maybe you should BE thinking about putting your 12V in a larger truck. I am not recommending an 80 mph deuce either. Some guys build some amazing things, but if you hurt...

The deuce suspension does walk around a little. I realize the pivots are on tapered bearings that make for a very solid base. The arms are mounted in rubber at both ends though and the retainers on the ends of the springs are far from tight. That spring can walk around a lot in the end of the...

The engine was pretty common in tbe civilian world. The rest will not cause you much trouble. Brakes are a little unusual but anybody mechanically inclined should be able to fix them with the tech manuals. There is nothing very complicated on those old horses.

Rust damage is everything on a 715. Tailgates are very difficult to find. They are pretty tough, engine trouble killed most of them. Glen

Just watch them while backing in a tight circle. They move a lot more than you would expect!

Speedwobble stopped by and picked up a load of parts, I tried to be more than fair on price as he did the work. He is right though, these are beyond repair, not saying it cannot be done, it just cannot be done for what you can buy a nice complete running truck for.
