    Deuce Fever

    Move to Kansas, antique plates for my deuce are 45 dollars and good for the duration of display. Title fees and initial registration on my 71 was 60 dollars. Taxes are 17.50 a year... from now on it will cost me 17.50 a year, unless they raise it, which they have, used to be five bucks for...

    Deuce Fever

    That depends upon who assembled the instrument cluster last. I picked up one with the fuel on the lower right and the voltmeter on the upper left where the fuel normally is. I think normally the water temp is the upper right gauge, however, one of mine had the voltmeter there and the water...

    Deuce Fever

    Picture 6 is not an original 60's to mid 70's speedometer. It was probably installed with the depot overhaul. You are pushing the GVW for a deuce at 10,000 pounds. They were rated for 3,000 off road and 6,000 on road. They will carry much more and pull more, just want you to be aware the data...

    Exhaust huff-huff-huffing engine sounds fine though..

    Does it do it when pulling hard? Does it do it when running steady, like 1200 or 1800 rpm? Glen

    Rear axle leaky

    I just did this Saturday. Stick your finger in the fluid, if it is thick and oily, it is the axle seal. Mine was pooling on the inside wheel and decorating the tire, bottom of the bed and the wind was whipping droplets up on the back of my tail gate. I do not have a dualy dolly. So I had to pull...

    Deuce Purchase?

    I would read the deuce recovery threads. You are probably talking M35A2 trucks. They are all pretty much the same. Go to JA Tonk's site and download the operators manual for a good start. Condition and care is everything. Glen

    If you can't beat 'em, join 'em

    Click on it and mouse over, white on blue background is much easier... Or..... Folks, WM is bringing about 150 pounds of potatoes and 10 pounds of onions. I’ll be at Wally World and Sams tomorrow picking up the rest. Breakfast will consist of eggs, bacon, biscuits, pancakes, grits, French...

    1952 M135 Converted to standard shift.....

    We used the Chevrolet Muncie 465 in our conversion and a brake pedal, master cylinder and rod out of an Impala. The bell housing had the standard 11" clutch and the dust cover was the same one used on most manual GMC or Chevrolet light duty trucks through 1972.

    Attempting Recovery From Huntsville Alabama to Phoenix Arizona.

    I will never forget my first deuce recovery. I had never operated a Multifuel Deuce before. Had a couple of old gassers and worked on a couple for area farmers, but I was pretty green. Thankfully, Karl Kostner met me at Deuceman51's yard in Scotland and accompanied me to Ellsworth. We had a few...

    Design flaws? Torque rod, split rims?

    Each rear axle has two torque rods below the axle and one above on one side. They allow these trucks to do some unbelievable things off road on tires designed in the late 1930s. Your torque rod failure is unusual, who knows what kind of abuse it has survived before. I saw deuces being moved...

    Resistration issues in Iowa!!

    Not as a 1993, but certainly as a 1066 to 1975. Guys are building street rods and titling them as 1932 or whatever. Park it next to a nice 60s model and see how many officers know the difference.

    ~~What Not to do with a Deuce~~

    Don't put a price on it unless you really want to sell it. I learned the hard way!

    Won my first A3 on GL today

    I work Friday, but if you have trouble in Kansas, call me anyway. I am off Saturday and Sunday with no obligations. I will try to escape early and head over to help. I am hoping you are in for an easy trip home now, you are way past due! Glen

    ~~What Not to do with a Deuce~~

    I would have preferred a 90 degree angle on that one, bet it was spectacular. I wonder how much ETOH was on board....
