It looks interesting anyway. Would like to see what it looks like when it is on the truck.

Oh you'll be fine. It's probably just a stuck valve or something.

You should be able to tac weld a small Bolt or something of that nature to the inboard end of one of the shafts to keep this from happening again. Just something to take up the space. Be thankful that more wasn't totally destroyed.

Any mods needed to the lower end to run 3200 rpm?

Now that is some real actual helpful and useful information! Thank you!

Yeah! What he said!

Also, fwiw it sounds like it is sucking air upstream ( engine side) of the fuel filter. So that may or may not help you find the suck.

I was thinking, stick a sheet of plywood on top of the canvas and you won't have to worry about it unless the bows cave. Of course you could just be like someone I know and go out and try to melt all the snow with a propane weed burner...

I believe it is a fuel pressure sensor. Not sure why a manually injected engine needs a fuel pressure sensor, but that's what it looks like. Not all of the trucks have them.

I do know the A3 trucks use the 1" pins on the rear.

In all seriousness though, you must be sucking air as others have said. Reinstall your pre- priming pump, and then PLUG YOUR RETURN Line, pressurize the lines with the newly reinstalled pump, and watch and wait for a drip or wet spot to form on lines or connections somewhere. That's the best way...

I'll just put it out there since no one else will: It's because it's a Ford. Stick a bow tie over that blue oval and it'll start fine.

This is for sure going to be a valve body issue.

I have six deuces here ranging from 69' kaisers to 87' am general Air Force deuces and they all have smaller than 1" shackles and pins on the rear. I think they are 3/4".

You can narrow it down to the NTC 400 and the form 400. Probably easiest to use the NTC.

Have you turned up the fuel rate and the governor?

You guys can keep that stuff up there with you. I don't want anymore of it.

Acetylene torch would make quick work of it. Try heating the area where it is painted to the bed on top and down the side pockets a bit, then take some penetrating oil and spray into the seam that is rusted together. The oil will smoke as it cools the steel, but the heat will suck it into places...

No it isn't.

It runs and it isn't rusted out... You got a good truck. What more can one really hope for in a first deuce?
