This topic has resulted in some spirited discussion. As Bjorn pointed out, a "want to sell/buy/trade" posting in the deuce forum also leads to some interesting discussions and information sharing. I had a very good experience with a "want to sell/trade" posting I put in the Deuce forum. I had a...

In a pinch, you could always get a brass pipe tee and a pair of pipe to tube adapters. I needed to do a similar job, my local auto parts store had a good supply of brass fittings and adapters so I found what I needed pretty quickly. If the first store doesn't have what you need, try another. The...

Matt - what you say is exactly true. However, it seems that most everyone with a "One Off" item to sell (or for that matter an item to trade or a want to buy) posts it in this forum. The classifieds seem to be the most overlooked forum on the SS board, other than the late "Random thoughts from...

sparkylisle - Is that six in total?

Nice job, very sweet, but please do something with those white wheels!

OK, so when is JT going to make them available to those of us who want them and what is the price?

Well, yes and no. The OUTER hex size is the same, 1-1/2", but the bolt hole sizes are different. The front wheel and rear HUB studs are (as roughly measured on my truck) about 3/4" diameter. The rear inner stud/cap is (again as roughly measured on my truck) about 1-1/8" diameter. Thus the front...

If I had a winch (which I don't, but is on my "To Do" list) and wanted to lube the cable, I would use Breakfree CLP. I'd soak the cable pretty thoroughly, then wipe it with a CLP soaked rag as I was rewinding it. The CPL will take off a lot of the surface rust. It goes on wet and drys in a day...

If you are planning on using GL-5/MT-1 in the transfer case, you might as well use it in the tranny as well. The transfer case is synchronized and I assume they use the same yellow metal syncros as the tranny. Lets face it, GL-1 is a 60 or more year old fluid spec and gear fluids have improved...

Here is a set of photos which clearly, if briefly, illustrate the hub flip process (courtesy of Bjorn Brandstedt AKA "Cranetruck"). I would have at least two sets of replacement seals and one complete set of bearings and cups on hand before starting just in case you find some damaged parts in...

Actually, TM 9-2320-209-20-3-1 gives some pretty detailed instructions, along with wrench sizes.

Do not put "For Parts", ALWAYS put "for personal use". I made the mistake of putting "For Parts" on an engine I got from GL at Columbus. Once you do that, then you are considered a reseller and have to fill in a whole bunch more boxes. First they told me since I said it was for parts I had to...

Re the heater cut down - If you are going to do all that work to cut down the heater to provide space for the remote filters, why not just do what has been suggested in previous posts and relocate the heater box INSIDE the cab? It couldn't be that much more work, and for those of us in the...

Dennis - How about "before" and "after" pics of your WEO? Also some details on your thermostat? I have not had any luck around here locating a remote electric thermostat, all the local yokels at Menard's, Lowes etc. give me a blank stare and tell me that the only electric thermostats they have...

Sounds like a little pounding with some body metal dollies and a body hammer should get the body work straightened out to an acceptable contour. The body dollies are pretty cheap. Some reinforcing plates on both sides of the mirror mounting holes should take care of the tears at the mirror...

Bjorn - I agree, some pics of the installation would be nice. That sounds like a good safety upgrade. From where do you power the marker lights? From the headlamp circuit, or have you repowered the front park lamps to light up whenever the headlamps are on? On a totally unrelated note, I...

It should be simple enough to make a tool up out of an old injector. Disassemble the the old injector, remove the springs and rod and reassemble. Screw a QD fitting into the fuel line inlet and you should be good to go. Just be careful taking the old injector apart, those springs are under a lot...

I'm not an expert at gladhands, but looking at the details at NAPA on line yields some worthwhile information. The ones on my Deuce look more like the 1145x and 1146x series of glandhands; the 1143x are the flexible spring loaded type which I think are used on trailers, not on tractors/trucks...

I have Deuce combo lug nut sockets for sale in the classifieds - Steel Soldiers price is $13.95 each plus $4.05 flat rate shipping, $18.00 total delivered. I can ship up to three sockets in one flat rate package and the total shipping for all three is still only $4.05 total. I used to have an ad...

Nice job Rizzo! Wish I'd have thought of that. Been wondering how to haul the Boy Scouts around without them falling out. I like the lengthwise ribs to keep your cargo cover from sagging too!
