If you put 45 gallons of WMO in the secondary tank with 5 gallons of gasoline, that'll thin the oil out and make it go through the filters easier. If you add waste auto trans fluid in too, that'll make a deuce real happy and you should have no trouble starting up on it. When my tank ran dry on...
:driver:I added a cute little anti-heart attack air horn for when I don't wanna cause anyone to soil themselves. rofl Yes I have a sense of humor and I'm not afraid to use it!
Here's a few pics of my project, from the recovery trip, to the parking space here at the pad, the hard top courtesy of SMOKEWAGON66, to the new anti-heart attack air horn. :cookoo:
When ya drive something like this, ya gotta have a sense of humor! :mrgreen:
Does the parking lot have video surveillance? If so I'd look into getting a copy of that days events and make it known to the insurance company that you have it and you'll be keeping it for your records. That will make them just a little less-likely to try any shenannigans down the line like a...
That's a good point porkysplace, but when I went to Hawaii, I didn't see nearly as much vehicular cancer as I did when I was in Missouri where they salt the roads to melt the snow.
I saw cars there less than 5 years old that had half the quarter panel above the right rear wheel rotted so bad you...
What it looks like isn't as important as how/if it runs. If it is in fact mechanically sound, five-grand sounds about right. Are you planning to leave it a fuel truck, or sell the tank and bob it, or just convert it to a M109A3, or M35A2? Does it have a hard top or soft top? Winch?
Of course if...
The answer is simple. I'm pretty sure with a little creative thinking and a little hunting on craigslist and/or some local classifieds, you can trade that Vette for a pretty nice, spacious, modern and clean travel trailer or toy hauler. Depending on the condition of the Vette, you might find a...
I dunno about hip-hop or rap without wanting to shoot something, but the whole Beach Boys, Buffet, beach, tiki torch, and blender thing, bring along some Dick Dale for when the blender is running and don't forget to invite me! :mrgreen:
If you shell out the money for a nice marine-grade CD player that'll play when bouncing, or if you just get a $30 cheapy stereo from Auto Zone, You prolly don't wanna fiddle too much with changing disks while driving. I consider a CD player in a car or truck just like the bathroom in a...
Now let's just take a look at these statements for a moment.
A CD player in a deuce will work just fine as long as it's parked. We all know how a deuce rides and how CD players behave when being bounced around, but it would work just fine once you get to the campsite and are ready to start...
I know I didn't sleep the night before I went to recover my deuce!:jumpin:
Definately have a camera in hand and get some pics of your dad when he lays eyes on that truck for the first time! Those pics will be priceless for years to come!

I had a dryrotted innertube give out on me a couple weeks ago, and since my deuce didn't come with a budwrench or handle, I had to borrow one from deuceaid. I put the budwrench on the lugs, put the handle bar through it and couldn't move any of the lugs. After a good night's sleep, I tried again...

BTW, I know you were looking for an A3 originally, but I get the feeling you'll be happier with the A2 for a few reasons.
1. The A3s have a CAT engine and an automatic trans that are both electronically controlled. In the event of an EMP or CME big enough to take down the power grid, anything...
Nice looking truck indeed! congrats on your first MV! There's a lot of really cool video clips on youtube. Just search for "M35A2" and you'll find a gang of deuce videos showing capabilities and proper operation. Don't forget to look up and save the Tech Manuals for the deuce as they're...
Till I can get on the big parts of the project, I'll just have to get my happy on by taking on the little silly jobs like replacing the retainer string that keeps the slave receptacle cap from getting lost. Mine was rotted away to nothing, so I replaced it with a piece of 4130 paracord...
