Why do you need a steering stabilizer? If you have death wobble you are just covering up the real problem.

Oh alright, he has a radio setup that I want to get from him anyway, so good timing all around.

You may be ok with that. I don't know though. That picture isn't even a full flex picture.

Don't cut the body. Drill the screw with a very small bit in the center all the way through the screw and then try it again. If it doesn't break loose, move up to the next size bit and drill it, then try again. Repeat until it either comes out or you can no longer get a bite on the screw head...

I picked up a few bottles of Power Service brand fuel and tank cleaner with"Petrofresh" additive today and added to my storage tanks. It is supposed to polish fuel, keep fuel fresh for "extended storage", and clean dirty tanks. Hopefully it works with JP just as well as diesel.

Yeah any normal accordion would have torn apart from the articulation in that pic.

Just so happens that I have a couple of extra CUCV tires and rims I could bolt on and I have to go over around Spring Texas soon anyway in the deuce, so I could pick it up for you and at least get it heading east. I'm not sure if I can bring it all the way to Florida for you but I will if I have...

Well then, if Stonepicker isn't dead set on having it trailered, that opens up another option for me.

I would flat tow it to you with my deuce, but i don't see any tow points. I do have a friend with a gooseneck trailer that is all over the southern states and lives in Florida that may be able to bring it to you. I'll see if he can swing it or if he is even getting over that way.

Chances are the antifreeze has already done major damage to the bottom end bearings then. I wish you had drains the pan when it happened. Have you ever seen coolant eaten bearings? You may want to find another engine to swap in.

How long has it sat with water and antifreeze in the oil?

Maybe when he said the sleeve was cracked he meant a cylinder sleeve...

So JP-8 doesn't require any additive for storage?

You need to drain all of that out and let it sit empty. Antifreeze will destroy all of the bearings in your engine. It simply eats them away, and it doesn't take long or even have to run.

Looks like a spanner used to turn the deuce crankshaft by the balancer instead of the balancer bolt.

Make a couple of laminated letters and put them in several places on the truck where they can't be missed. Print them on red or orange paper. And maybe offer to trade a storage shed or container for it, since that is what it is being used for anyway.

You need something that can account for somewhere around 12--16" of twist and travel in any one direction, unless it is going to be a pavement and gravel road queen.

A truck with no windshield leaks a lot more than a truck with a windshield and a rust hole.... Now call them up and tell them they owe you new floor pans.

And all because of a $7 light.

I would advised against a pass through because of how much the cab and box move independently of each other.
