Whatever you choose several properly rated Crosby shackles and at minimum 2 properly rated snatch blocks are a must for a big truck recovery.
Single lining on a big truck is a bad idea no matter what winch you choose. Use your winch in its best configuration on the last or next to the last...
Don’t discount the warn 18k severe duty. It’s what’s on the MRAP and many other trucks that are larger than your deuce. One snatch block solves your weight problem.
They are cheap ($500 ish) surplus. Also you can order parts directly from warn. I have used them with great success over the last...

The only way to get them to work really well is to take them off the truck and throw them in the trash. Then cal Kascar or Adventure Accessories and order a set of H1 blades and arms.
It’s literally one of the best mods I have done to my truck.
Also get some rained and slather it on the...
Check the ground on the back of the instrument panel. If the ground is good test with a known working gage. If the known working gauge doesn’t work then it’s the sender in the tank.

For the front My current plan is to put a piece of angle across the width of the...

Going to try to make a low budget camper out of it to see how it works. Just some 12v LED’s and a home made bed for now. Going to drag it on a local camping trip in February.

Much of the sound difference has to do with the lack of sound deadening anywhere in the cab. The cabs magnify the sound without any carpet or rubber. Also nothing on the hood to keep it quiet.
Also most of the trucks GM sold had an overdrive. The 3 speed makes the engine rev more thus making...
In that case I would pull the shifter out of the truck and clean it well and put a good dry lubricant on the moving parts.
