    Replaced Rear Pinion Seal - Handy Hint!

    I'm apparently not smart enough to find the drain plug on the deuce multifuel engine block to get the last few gallons out. Any hints on where it is? Well, beyond the data plate statement on the dash that it's on the right hand (?passenger?) side.

    Hey Martin! Welcome to the shop van club! Do you have functioning brackets for storing the boarding ladder outside the van, or did yours get squashed also? How about a van body heater? Let us know where you are in your default signature, and post some pics when you can, because, of course...
