We went to my parents place last night to meet up with the rest of the family for Christmas. While there I came across some of his pictures from when he served in the military. He was in the armored division with the 82nd Airborn ('68-70) with the M551 Sheridan. I figured I'd post the pictures...

My truck didn’t come equipped with a cab heater. But it’s one of those things that would have been nice on more than a few occasions, living here in Michigan. I bought a complete cab heater unit from fellow SS member ARDEUCE (thanks again Mike) a few months back. Now that falls here, I’m getting...

I need a 7' 6" pickup truck mounted snowblower moved from Vanderbilt Mi, which is just nort of Gaylord, to Holland/Zeeland Mi. It's about the same size as a standard truck snow plow, but with an auger inplace of the blade. They can load it on your trailer with a loader tractor they have...

Which is a better system, manifold heater or ether start, and why? Advantages, pros vs. cons. When did they start putting ether start on the Multi-fuel? The reason I ask is because I've only had trucks with a manifold heater. But my new parts truck is equiped with a complete ether start...

On my Deuce, 1) There's a bracket that's under the fold-down seat, bolted to the transmission tunnel. The top of it hinges up and open, and when closed, has a hole for a small lock. 2) Another bracket, is bolted to the inside of the firewall, under tha dash, on the passanger side. 3) On...

I bought a Deuce parts truck this week. Myself and Jeff (gunnerbear) fired up the old F-700, and went on a 150 mile road trip, to recover the axle-less Deuce. It went pretty uneventfull for a recovery, which is a good thing. The Dually pulled it no problem, almost like the truck was made to...

I'd like to dig up some history on my Deuce, but when my Deuce came out of DMRO, the front bumper numbers were spray painted over. However, the rear bumperett numbers are still on there. 1) Are the front bumper numbers, and rear bumperett numbers the same numbers? 2) And why do they paint...

I started my hub flip tonight. And when I pulled out the axle shaft, the first thing that I noticed was the Jack A$$ that did the bearings last never bent the tabs over on the lock ring to keep the outer lock nut from coming loose. Also missing is the little rubber gasket that fits down in the...

I bobbed my deuce last spring, and I had bought a set of 53" XZL's towards the end of last summer. The tires have just been sitting in my barn doing nothing, other than collecting dust and taking up space. So this week I started to make the lift so the 53's will fit on the Deuce. It'll be...

My Deuce has been stored indoors, in the barn for the last six-seven months. When it was parked for the last time, last fall, I had taken the batteries out of the truck and brought them into my shop. I then put them on a battery maintainer/tender over the winter, that way they would keep their...

I see a few guys with bob'd Deuces that run the 53" XZL's. Although I have a set mounted on wheels, I have yet to bolt them on the Deuce. I'll get around to it, when I take the old Deuce out of winter storage, in the spring. Anyways, I'm not an math expert and I can't find what I'm looking...

There's a small Podunk town south of me that has an annual 3-day "Goose Festival" with a parade that falls on the 2nd day. Fenville is know for farming and goose hunting (hence the goose festival) A couple weeks back I had my Deuce outside, parked in front of one of the barns. An older gentelman...

I got my Deuce in mid winter, and I didn't have space inside my barns for it at the time. So it sat outside for a bit. Now it's inside 99% of the time. When it's not parked inside, I use a plastic 13oz Folgers coffee can to keep the weather out. The 13oz can has just the right inside dia...

How much clearance is there between the oil pump pickup to the oil pan, on a Deuce? My truck at one time or another has been moved with a fork truck/HiLo. I bet ya can't guess who would be responsable for that......:roll: Anyways, I have good oil pressure, but don't want to starve the...

I had a Deuce box left over from a project and it was in just too nice of shape to scrap. I also had a set of 7000# Dexter axels with springs and equalizers given to me that had been sitting in the back 40 for a few years, as well as a set of load range "E" tires and a set of one-ton wagon...

Looking over craigs list I came across this 10-Ton for sale. It's about 20 minutes north east from me. Seems cheap to me for a complete running and driving 10-Ton. I figure someone here might need it, I spent all my money on a little Deuce:oops:........maybe I can convince the wife...

I've been looking for a little bigger tire to run on my shorty Deuce. Something in the size of maybe a 14.00 or so. But I came across a set of five Michelin XZL 16.00-20's, four of them already mounted on 12" wide double bead lock wheels, with the 6-bolt Rockwell pattern. The tires have atleast...

Well I started to take the Deuce apart for the bobber. I'm not going to use the 12' cargo box, but instead I'll use a M-105 box. I like the way that both, a cut down cargo box and a M-105 looks, but I prefer the wheel well look on a shorty Duece. To remove the box I unbolted the bolts that...

I know the steel break lines on a Deuce is 5/16" but what is the size and threads of the flexable rubber lines off the "Y" block between the rear axels? I have to remove the rear tandems tomorrow and want to disconect the lines at the "Y" block, and use a plug temporarily in their place so I...

As of now my Deuce has the canvas cab cover top (it's tan and my Deuce is green :cry:) So I'm in the market for a hardtop to replace the canvas cover. I'm new to the hobby, so I've never personally seen either one up close. What are the pros and cons of steel vs. fiberglass tops? Which one do...
