Jet A is the same as JP only filtered tighter and quite a bit cleaner. Jet A should make that 6.5 run like new as long as it's not tired or has any underlying issues. I wouldn't mind running some of that through my deuce! :driver:

Thanks for the vote of confidence Jim! I'm no miracle worker, but I am a gearhead with a good immagination that assists me in my problem-solving skills. :jumpin:

When I did my 580-mile recovery, all I took was a AAA map pouch, my 209pc Craftsman set, my Craftsman tool pouch with Gorilla Tape, a roll of masking tape, 3 rolls of electrical tape, a can of silicone spray lube (used to free up the stuck accelerator pedal and re-start the engine when I ran out...

Funny you should mention that Silverstate55, I've been tossing around the idea of a hinged rack to go behind the tailgate on the bobber broject with M105 bed and on that rack, I'd setup the original spare carrier/winch on a pivot that will rotate the secured tire tight against the rack and pin...

That's pretty cool Jeff! I like it! That looks like an M105 bed if my eyes aren't lying to me. When I do my bob job, I plan to remove the lower rivets holding the bogie plates to the bogie castings, and use the plates riveted to the truck frame to align and bind the spring section of the trailer...

Sounds to me like you need some re-centered rims. There's a few companies that make em. :popcorn:

Congrats on your new aquisition Heath! You're gonna love being a deuce owner! :beer:

When it comes to carrying extra fuel, Hundy had a pretty spiffy idea when he did one of his bobbers, he left about 12 inches of space between the cab and bed, and mounted a couple jerry can carriers to the front of the bed. I plan on doing the same with my bobber project, but I'm not stopping at...

Not to mention the strange looking grill and the headlights out on the fenders.aua (What can I say? I played on A2s as a kid and own one now.)

I finally got all the rusty old screws busted loose and got out the latch on the passenger door to find out why it wouldn't open from the outside. Turns out, some nitwit thought he could get into the cab by forcing the handle with the door locked from the inside, and blew apart part of the latch...

In California, you can get a "single trip moving permit" for $16 from the DMV.

Not a bad idea Smoke, I just might do that. How's that project of yours coming? :driver:

When I recovered my deuce, I ran RTE-99 from Sacramento down to Southern California. Most of that highway cuts down the middle of central California's farmland and running 55 to 58 MPH in the right lane was comfortable and incident-free. I got lots of waves, a few horns and the best part is even...

Yeah DH, my test light has a 24-volt bulb, but either I didn't get sufficient ground on it or the bulb got boogered knocking around in the step box, but I cut a small jumper wire and stuffed the ends into the switch plug, then I turned on the hidden anti-theft switch, the main power switch and...

YOU DA MAN JEFF! I guess my test light had a bad ground or bad bulb, but I stuffed a jumper wire into the plug leads per your suggestion, turned on the power and the brake lights were lit. I guess I gotta get a brake light switch and a new bulb for my test light. Thanks for the suggestion! It...

I got ya Flyingvan911, but in order for the switch to do it's job, there's gotta be 1 hot lead, and the other to the turn signal switch for flasher bypass and brake lighting. With the switches turned on, I got no power to the stop light switch on the airpak. That's the issue I gotta figure out.

I skimmed the TMs but once again, I guess I didn't use the correct terms or for whatever reason couldn't find what I was looking for. I noticed a few weeks ago that my brake lights weren't coming on when I stepped on the brake. Yes, I had the 3-lever switch turned to "stop light". I got under...

I'd love to have a video of that in my collection! rofl

Kewl! Thanks Rob! :beer:

I searched the TMs yesterday till my eyes went blurry. Who can tell me where the brake light switch is in a deuce? :deadhorse:
