Photos from last saturdays parade and one of the duce pulling out a tow truck . You cant see it but the front of the tow truck is on good ground . The rear is on shake sand and sunk like a rock . Parade was in Standish Mi .

From the 4 year old granddaughter to her grandma . Ask grandpa to pick me up from school today , tell him not to bring that ugly red truck . Fortuantely she is refearing to my Ford . Picking her up in the deuce is cool rofl

6 wheel drift ? No you can not borrow my truck .

There was no short of any sort took place . A pin stuck in to the pin hole , didnt touch anything else . My big concern is , will a new one do the same thing ? Theres a trailer plug , one has to think it is capable of carrying the voltage to run trailer blinkers ! Old uint on the edge ...

Did my research , found the schematic for the trailer plug on the deuce . Made up a test light with a standard 24V tail light bulb . Turn on L blinker and when i tested it the flasher stopped flashing . Tail light stays on but it seemed to burn out the flasher . Flasher is the electronic...

Post #2 Pic # 1 . Bad day ? 2 flats , box is bent and it looks like 2 nice holes in the fuel tank . I noticed the fella is smiling though :mrgreen:

Thanks . Thought id get time today to pull the bridge plate and put the spare back on . Fail , Maybe tomorrow . Going to pull the plate spray and letter it .

I know the feeling , i scratched a hole in my hair making up my mind how i wanted to paint it . Viewed a few in person and asked some question to find what suited me . Pictures dont seem to show color acurately . Thanks for the compliments folks .

As a buisness man for the last 30 years iv noticed its often not what you say but how you say it . Can you host them here ? Its prefered on this site . All of a sudden it dont sound like a complaint but like helpful advise . Just a thought . The above advse is also meant as helpful so that...

Well compared to any other truck 4th and 5th are swaped . The shift pattern is 4 down , 5th up . Id bet he dont realize that and is use to civilian trucks . any medium duty i ever drove ( thats a lot of trucks ) were the opposite pattern between 4th and 5th gear . I still have to think when im...

Tape grip was there when i picked it up from the last owner . boots , i read pro and con on both types . Read where the other style didnt last either so figured i may as well go with zippers . paint is gilliespie End of of ww 2 to early viet nam it said on the cans . Dont have the paint number...

For our photo hounds . Pretty much done now . I have not taken a lot of photos but heres a few as i worked over the winter and what i have now .

A different view , there is no worse case . It is an adventure , view it as such and what ever happens , well its part of the adventure . Have a good time and dont worry so much . Being " prepared " is over rated , takes all the fun out of it rofl

Ya and we dont get any busted knuckles either :grd:

I was wondering the inside demesions too then i see there rated for 3,000 lbs , to light for what i wanted .

Been reading and thinking on this , I agree on the rubber hoses . They can colapse inside and wont let fliud back . Seen it on old motor homes and stuff several times . Acts like a caliper hung and its a hose .

Done a fair amount of reading around here . 1st iv heard about them being leakers . Mine dont leak anything ,,,,,,,,,, yet .

Its not a complicated trans . Sounds like a bearing issue . Quite under load , louder at a level pace . Any shops around you that work on manual trans ? They could probable take a short ride and have a good idea from the sound it is making . Lot cheaper to replace a bearing now then a trans later .

Excellent , I had a ball with your photos . Iv been telling the wife for 6 months i need a Huey . I showed her your series of pics and said SEE . My wife has grave concern that " if " i was to get a hold of one i could probable make it run , i dont have a clue how to fly one . That seems to be...
