Ross, 2buells, has the tow bar. If you are going to meet up with him you can just bring the spring seat with you.

Actually I'm going to meet up with papacom on Saturday after I go to the show of shows in Louisville. Thanks for the offer anyway.

Bed has been painted and bed liner put in. Now I just need to get the cover from papacom and repaint the troop seats.

Got mine just over a year ago. Its now down to the frame and motor. Ready to start putting it back together. John Bizal, Midwest Military, is a great guy and very helpful with parts and knowledge.

Search the forum for info and download the TM's. The 9 series TM's are not nearly as good as the Deuce TM's but at least you'll have something to work with.

look at this thread, lots of pics and info. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/46312-looking-alcohol-evaporator-kit-m35a2-2.html

I put an alcohol system on mine as well as automatic water drains on both tanks. No issues with moisture even in the teens for temps. Do a search on this forum and you'll find all the info you need.

I thought about that. Found a local guy that has the right equipment that will cut and sew to length a cover for $75. Not too bad for a custom fit cover. Now I just need to get with papacom and get the stuff !

Got two replacement corner bolts and nuts for the two that were bad. Installed those and rewelded the little steel ring retainers so they won't fall off. I think I have a line on a new cover to cut down so waiting to see if that happens. Hopefully weather will cooperate so I can grind the...

If you are not getting the truck up to operating temp for a while to warm up the oil it will be high. My truck will peg the gauge for a while then after 30 minutes of driving it will be 40 at idle. Takes a while to warm up. Big motor lots of oil :smile:

Nice trucks ! Welcome to the 5 ton club.

yep !

I just cut down a drop side bed. Reference the 5 ton section. Its not hard but you need the proper tools and at least one other body to do it safely. I removed a 3' section and welded it back so that it looks stock except shorter. I first cut the bed down the used the sides to help square and...

The bed dimensions are now 9x7 instead of 12x7. I thought it might work as well but like indy4x4fab says its probably too small.

Well the cover after carefull thought is not worthy of spending the money to shorten up. I need to find an excellent condition cover for the job. Made some preliminary measurements and have a plan for the tow bar install on the front of the bed. I think it will look good and be easy to...

Here it is with the hemmt's and 395's. I'm very pleased. The truck likes to cruise around 58mph. Rear hubs were flipped also.

Here's the link for the speedo: Willys Jeep Parts, Restoration & Wiring from Walck's 4 Wheel Drive | Speedometer Assembly 0-70 mph 1945-1956 CJ Models I put this on because of the 395 tire upgrade. I also got a speedo adapter to compensate for the tire size change from Boyce equipment.

I would enjoy seeing your truck in person. You've done something to be proud of ! I did an instrument upgrade and really like the added information it provides. I did not turn up my IP.

I'll be taking the cover in tomorrow for shortening. I should have a few parts showing up today. Two of the corner latches are shot. I found a couple from the normal suppliers and will change those out. My plan for the tow bar is to mount it on the front of the bed at the corner supports...
