    Deuce Wrecker Engine Swap

    I have worked mids and I had the same problem. Three or Four hours of sleep is not enough. With the price of wreckers my only hope of getting one is getting an old non-runner. I can't wait till you paint it and get rid of that awful yellow.

    classifieds

    I am really trying hard to not tell him to check in the Classified section to change the ad instead of in the calssified section. I am a man and I can change if I want to I guess. Seriously though I have no idea how to change the add and am very sorry for having wasted my time and your time. My...

    Deuce Wrecker Engine Swap

    With all the stuff you are doing I can't imagine how you had time to ship the PTO to me. If only the weather were better here maybe I could get stuff like that done. As it is my occasional use F350 showed me today that it did not appreciate the lack of attention lately. After plowing the snow...

    I think is was still about $20 but the pickup only part is really killing his sales.

    Any one go the the Clare MI get together and swap meet?

    Thanks Dave. Great pictures. I think it is worth a run in the truck. I went over to the Great Lakes MVPA website and found a lot of upcoming events. It seems there is a show and swap meet coming up at the Selfridge ANGB Museum in June. I plan to attend. Here is a link to the calender...

    Any one go the the Clare MI get together and swap meet?

    Did anyone go to this event this year? I wanted to go but did not have my deuce yet and did not want to endure a 3 hour ride just to get there and long for a deuce. Anyway, is this event worth a trip up there? Is there alot of stuff at the swap meet? Is it done every year? Are there any other...

    Driver's side deuce door

    I know this doesn't help but my windows don't go up and down without help just like the Deuce I drove in the Army. I like my truck to be authentic and having window that goes up and down easily just would not be authentic. That would be like plugging all the air leaks in the cab, or getting new...

    Need to get m66 ringmount from New York NY to Ann Arbor MI

    Hi all, I see a ringmount on Ebay that is listed as being in New York, NY with local pickup only. Before I bid on it I wanted to see if anyone could pick it up and ship to me or bring to me in Ann Arbor MI. I would reimburse any costs involved plus extra to sweeten the deal. Anyone that...

    Driver's side deuce door

    Weld it up and go Dukes of Hazzard. Welding rod is pretty cheap. I think Armada has some good doors to sell. I think he has doors and cab listed in the classified ads.

    Troubles with M35A2

    The battery discharge on concrete is an urban legend. Modern batterys will not discharge when left on the concrete ground anymore than they would normally discharge from being placed onto wood or other materials.

    M35A3/M36A3 In cab heater

    I saw an m45a2 on gsa auctions. I don't know what it went for but I was out at about $1400. I wanted it for the winch and hard top. It was in Indiana. I would probably have gotten it home then restored it instead of chopping it for parts. I could see myself not wanting to do away with a vary...

    m1009 rims are 16" right??

    The m880's along with all the other mid to late 70's dodge 1/2 and 3/4 ton have week front axles. The Front bearings constantly go and they take the spindles with them. All the M880's have the week axle. I have direct experience with fixing the bearings several times on a few dodges I have...

    Dodge CUCV Dana 60's?

    M880's had a heavy duty open knuckle dana 44 up front. I got some parts to replace some on my 3/4 ton dodge from 880 surplus. I think the backs are dana 60s. The fronts can be recognized because they have no locking hub only the nut to hold the hub on the axle like a fwd car. I think the 880s...

    painting tools

    When I finally paint mine I am going to paint it just like the military. I will tape off everything and just start spraying inside and out. I have seen some paint jobs better than others and I will not do a "sloppy" military job but I will not be taping and painting any better than they did when...

    Pulling a gooseneck trailer with a Deuce

    My trailer does have a small batt on board to lock the brakes on breakaway. I have a booster battery I could use. I could use the converter to power relays for the high amps for the brakes and lights. Might even be able to a line to to trickle charge the battery on the trailer when connected...

    GL and the sf97

    I assume this wasn't a show car but that is great to hear your sister got her car "back". Sucks for the other person. You may have guessed I know a little about this and I assure you I am not a car thief.
