I happened upon a surplus store called the foxhole located across I-5 from Madigan ARMY Hospital and happened to ask if they come by MV parts, they mentioned they had cargo covers, and being that I am in need of one for the deuce, we went out back to look at them. They had several for trailers...
Not to rub it in guys, but I'm glad I left that state, The construction company my dad works for will pretty much go under if/when that law comes into effect, with the economy the way it is now, all its gonna do is put more people outta work. But back to the question at hand I think JDToumanian...
Welcome, I got mine from the guy in tenino, he's a good guy to deal with, alreadt put lots of mods on his that he is keeping. I was just in your area over the weekend picking up waste oil. Im located on whidbey BTW.
yeah about the cover, it started to rain last night and I didnt want any chane of contamination so I just used a tarp and bungee cords, nothing special, but I am now wondering if I can make a cargo cover with a large enough tarp.
I scored about 150 gallons of mixed stuff, oil, tranny fluid, gas, and a small ammount of brake fluid, the trip was more of a get out of the house adventure than anything, it just happened to pay for itself and then some.
Truck already has a spring suspension seat, but I definately feel that...

3rd - The deuce didnt seem...

trying not to hijack your thread, but you say the grille guard is crap, whats wrong with it? I'm curious as I am considering making one for mine, and it looked pretty good. if you can a few pics of its mounting would be great.
If you decide to try and part it out, maybe shipping a crate full...
I honestly couldnt tell of anything about the other tenino trucks, I was only there for the winch truck, from just a glance mine was the worst condition paint wise. the guy that owns them is a nice guy and will be more than willing to let you look em over.
<- This guy!!!:driver:
Oh and btw, if you get a hardtop and want a soft top, I will gladly trade ya. That guy is great to deal with too, he took care of me when I was in my money acquisition stage.
Well, you pretty much did answer my question. I knew the headers were for the big 3, but I was pondering if it was feasible to make them for the deuce. I understood that they were not really power adders. So it seems pretty much, headers are not a venue to bother experimenting with.
