    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    I think you may be on to something plowboy with that Canuck. You can see the fill caps on the top in one of the linked pictures. Since I just noticed you are in Canada, I would say you are probably right. Good job!

    **2012 Florida Richloam MV Summer Rally**

    Tent camping in June ain't for me. If Brenda does say ok, I have to remember my ear plugs. I can bring some extra for her, the chain saw gets loud when you tune up Ray! :shock:

    Wing Tip Fuel Tank ID wanted

    My money says they are pylon tanks (hang under the wing). Are there any data plates? They don't look big enough for a large transport catagory aircraft. Maybe a C123?

    AL to FL

    If Pete has the same kind of luck as he did coming to the GA Rally last year; it'll be easier to drive to the next exit if the CUCV is on the ground when the big truck takes a $h!t. :whistle:

    "Welded Rears" on a Deuce??

    Put a chalk mark on the rear tires on both sides and drive it in a circle. It will be easy to tell if the differentials are welded. The marks will stay in the same position relative to each other.

    It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like the clutch has some "glazing". Basically oil burned into the surface. I used to run a large industrial machine that used clutches that slipped all the time. It didn't take long for them to glaze up from heat and grease etc. Some of the...

    Tyndall AFB, FL - recovery

    Good looking truck. The drive down the Gulf is nice; I've done it many times. Beautiful day for a drive in your new deuce!

    JP-8 Fuel

    If you are doing a mil-spec test for a government contract, the government has a list of approved suppliers and should be able to make it possible for you to buy some for acceptance testing purposes.

    **2012 Florida Richloam MV Summer Rally**

    Alright Ray!!!! Are you bringing the Taj Mahal and deuce tractor? Oddball and I need a place to crash! If the tractor isn't finsihed, maybe Oddball or I can pull it over with a M818.

    Put the clutch disc in some gasoline. That will float all the oil out. After you let it sit for a day or two, spray it down with brake cleaner. Then hit it with a DA (sander) to scuff it up and see if it looks OK. If you are not sure, replace the disc.

    Deuce road tractor conversion

    Looks good Ray. How are you prepping the frame and suspension before you paint it? Pressure wash?

    A few changes and a question about repurposing

    I think you will want to have a metal line from the compressor because of the temperature. Plastic is fine everywhere else. Just make sure you use DOT fittings that have the metal sleeve that goes inside the plastic tubing to support it so the ferrule doesn't crush the plastic when it is...
