When I can get back to the M813 in the yard, will snag the right clamp and swap yours out. Right now they have me walled out with bales of tin and stacks of crushed cars. I also fixed your driver's door latch yesterday. I cannot take much credit there, the screws were about to fall out of the...

Welcome from Kansas. I had a couple of old gas deuces years ago. I was much younger then and there was a lot of old GMC deuces around here. We just ran those poor things into the ground. Later I bought a M1008 and a M1009, great transportation. Since then though, I bought a few Multifuels. They...

Yes, anchor the pork chop and tighten the inner nut. It will force the outside nut loose at the same time. I am seriously thinking about buying a second one for my other deuce. You know it will be in the wrong truck when I am on the road. I recently ran into the inner nut turning on three out of...

I found Jeremy's coolant leak today. I thought it was the radiator cap, but a hose clamp is rusty and was not tight. I had to break out a wrench to tighten it. The screwdriver was not getting it done. The coolant is nice and green, clean too. I must admit that the tall ugly box is growing on me...

She reminds me a lot of my daughter. Mine is 25 now and a school teacher. Today her hair was braided back in a wide flat tail. Back on the 4th she had lots of curls. She loves those trucks!

Well... Myrtle Girl and I crossed paths again today. They were at Grandpa's Hotrod shop. Another round of deuce rides. At least I know her name and who she belongs to now! Riddon is her name and she still has blond hair and beautiful blue eyes. You just have to love a girl that plays outside...

Your trailer could haul three Novas, a few spare engines and transmissions, and a 105 full of wheels...

Most people do not realize these trailers weigh about the same as a mid 60's Nova...

That one looks pretty nice and solid. I am sure a lot of purists would want to restore it. They are getting rare, a nice rust free example is hard to find. The original gears were good for trail riding, but the slow steering and width of the 715 made a lot of trails a lot of work. Keep posting...

One of my deuces rolled a few miles this week too. It was the back up horse in case a five ton laid down on the way home. Did two recoveries in one day on five tons. I hear your message loud and clear on the turbo song. Thanks for sharing the fun with all of us. Glen

REB87 bought those at Riley, I just picked them up in July and we have not crossed paths yet. I almost delivered them last weekend, then I found out that you were coming through. Glen

Jeremy, Your truck is filling rapidly, 1600 20s are space eaters! I have some bolster tires to load and will wait until you get here to toss the top in. Was there anything you needed that we might have? Glen

Thanks Ernie! I see guys on here all the time going out of their way to help others. As a group we are very fortunate to have the core members that we have. Glen

They both have that light. 45 in today's wind was too much. I pretty much stayed around 40. I ran a little faster for the five or so miles of Interstate.

We have a handgun qualification tomorrow and all this wind is supposed to suck in some precipitation. We definitely need it! I am one of the Glock armorers and the Sig armorer. I will be in it for nine or ten hours. You guys are more than welcome. I have said it many times, I enjoy these...

The Allison is awesome! The Cummins I have always liked. We need to haul a deuce in one to smooth out the ride. The steering is almost too quick and easy. What is with the Max speed 40 mph warning? Is that from the darty steering? Nice trucks, if a guy was serious about working out of one, I...

With Jeremy's truck I hit a top speed of 48 and averaged around 34 mph. I was surprised that these five tons did not pull my deuce up hill any easier or faster than my deuce does. I thought they would pull much harder, but maybe the wind has something to do with that. I like the Allison, it...

On the return trip, I parked next to Jeremy's truck, could have slaved it with a four foot cable. It fired right up again and I set about hooking up. I have found that a 42" breaker bar placed at an angle to the Y area of the tow bar supports it quite nicely. When I hooked to Jason's truck, I...

As I was pulling up next to the hot rod shop, the turn was a left in the grass and my deuce tires went right. I stopped as soon as they took off the wrong way, I was watching closely for that... and thankfully the bar was not damaged. Unhook and stow the bar in the bed and head back for...

I got signed in and drove back to the lot. We found Jeremy's truck first. It had a little juice, but would not turn over. It was low on coolant, in my morning confusion and frustration, I left the five gallons of coolant in the pickup, sure wish I had it now.... Wait! There is a cooler in the...
