    choice between 1970 deuce or 1987 deuce.

    It's on the other side of ID from you. Probably the one on CL in Portland. Been there about a month.

    Bobbed Deuce with duals... tire questions

    So the 15.5 and the 395 are the same style bead. That's good to know. The wide wheels are at a friends house. He made 4 of the same for his bobbed deuce and he put 1600x20's on those. I decided to go smaller, although his truck looks great. From memory they are HEMTT wheels, I just need to ask him.

    Bobbed Deuce with duals... tire questions

    I have read where guys have put 395's on stock wheels. I have also read where there are different styles of beads. I also wonder how safe this is. I also have at least 2 Michelin Pilot 15.5/80r20 that I forgot about. They would be too big to be used with 1100x20 tires, but what bead style wheel...

    Bobbed Deuce with duals... tire questions

    I remember reading about how much the 365's were liked, but don't remember if there was a camber adjustment necessary or if air assist was necessary and the camber adjustment with that. The other problem is I don't have any 365's, but couldn't a 1100 be used as a spare since they are the same...

    Bobbed Deuce with duals... tire questions

    Hello, I've spent a lot of time reading about the options and seem to be second guessing my original decision. I already have tires 1100x20, G177, michelin XML, and NDCC I also have goodyear steer tires in 1100X20. I also have a set of 1200x20 NDCC tires, but I don't think I can dual them or are...

    Radio parts questions

    any ideas? If anybody repairs military radios like the guy I got these parts from(his estate) these thing might be of value. I probably won't toss them until I find out, but I'm trying to slim down for a move. Help appreciated!

    Dmd an/psg-2

    Do you need 2 of these devices to digital message? I'm curious how it works. Are a computer and radio required? Seems any knowledge is pretty limited. I think they were used from the late 70's to ??. Can't find where they might be sold. Info about them is appreciated. Thanks

    Radio parts questions

    Your right about pictures. I found another box of small parts that are individually wrapped that I will post more pictures of, but 1st these. I don't want to confuse the post. The board measures 4"x3.25". Thank you for looking.

    Radio parts questions

    I'm trying to clean up some parts laying around. These are bags of circuit boards. They are small circuit boards, new in the packaging, probably 60's or 70's. Military, my best guess for radio's. They are marked CIMRON. Marked DA-36-038-AMC-3715(A) on the outside. The packages also have a part #...

    Shuddering above 25 mph...

    I had a vibration problem with my M1009. I could rev the engine without vibs. Balanced the driveshaft and the shop that did it said it was within specs when I brought it in. I couldn't figure it out until I put it on jack stands and watched the vibration at the rear end. The yoke in the rear was...

    best place/way to buy m35a2?

    13ronin, An Air force deuce(87,88,89 years only) is the best truck to find. They are rare with a PTO winch, it could be added or add a stronger 18k electric. The poster above that has an LDS engine in his, has the ultimate deuce in my opinion. I would be interested to know what that would go...

    mixed dot 3 and 5 brake fluid

    I agree that in changing from one dot to another, trace amounts if not more, will remain in the system. The truck I have does have dual circuit brakes. Probably the question that is the most concern is how much of these trace amounts matter. Especially as brought up earlier about the old fluid...

    best place/way to buy m35a2?

    If you do buy one from an auction site don't assume anything, especially that because it came from a fire dept or county it was well taken care of. They usually sell them because it costs too much to fix it. Sometimes it gets butchered, because they don't know what they are doing and won't spend...

    mixed dot 3 and 5 brake fluid

    The part about the seals absorbing the original fluid and the fact that getting 100% of the old out is the key point in my mind. I would like to hear from guys who had a failure afterward....I've read about many changing to dot 3, but have not read about the long term results. The seal failure...

    mixed dot 3 and 5 brake fluid

    Rustystud, are you saying that if you change from one fluid to the other, you should also change all your seals? I'm curious now what is going on with the seals? If you go from 5 to 3 is there a difference from 3 to 5? I can see that after a change from one Dot to the other there would always be...

    mixed dot 3 and 5 brake fluid

    I went out to the truck yesterday to check on everything after the windstorm we had. I brought a big scringe with me to see if I could pull any of the fluid out. It turns out that the fluid isn't thick. It is a greenish yellow. What I thought were suspended bubbles must have been there from...

    mixed dot 3 and 5 brake fluid

    I made a power bleeder out of a sprayer once and I'm sure I still have it, but I remember using it with a metal screw IN fill cap. This 1988 deuce has a plastic screw ON cap like a power steering reservoir cap. and it's kind of big. That's part of the problem with having the truck parked 60...

    mixed dot 3 and 5 brake fluid

    If I can determine that the Dot 3 didn't get far beyond the MC I'll keep it dot 5, but if I have to blow out the entire system I'm going to Dot 3. The problem I remember bleeding a truck in the past was I questioned whether I got all of the air out. Where the truck is now it's level. Here at...
