If you're going down a long steep grade, you MUST downshift. If you lose your brakes you will have no way of maintaining control of your speed. Those "comic" books did on occaision post bad info.

That must've been a hella big street sweeper!! I've never seen a tandem axle one.

Okay, I just talked with the guy. It would be about $80 a pair for 1/8" steel diamond plate, and $60 for a pair of plain 1/8" steel. I'm going to work on a way to make the "dimples" like the OEM steps. These are much thicker than the original so there's no need for the reinforcement angle...

No, it's the ones for the driver and passenger doors, sorry if I wasn't clear.

The steps below the cab doors.

I have guy at a machine shop giving me a price to make some new steps for my deuce. I asked him to use a heavier gauge steel than the original. They'd be the same size, but they might not need the angle reinforcement on the bottom, which is where they tend to rust out anyway. He's also going...

I put on a set of new tail lights, they still don't flash, so I think replacing the flasher unit is next on the list. I also started putting in bolts to fill the holes in the back of the cab where those reinforcement plates are, and got stung by a friggin' wasp. I sprayed the nest, which was...

I plan on using mine for a flag mount or for a rotating beacon. If it were on the other side it could be the base for a cup holder...

Those are fiberglassed wrapped ALUMINUM SCBA tanks. You'd have to know someone with access to a compressor to fill those. They are most likely 2216psi, but could be 4500psi.

Sounds like a great time! I may be moving my daughter down to start college that weekend, so I don't know yet. If I can, I'd like to even drag the wife unit down. What kind of cost is there??

The last time I was there, they still had the sign out front with patches from a lot of the units that spent a lot of time there. My old unit, the 73rd Infantry Brigade still had it's patch there, even though it's been deactivated for quite some time now. Had some good times at Grayling (and...

If it's over 3 days, I'd most likely be able to make it at least one of those days, maybe even for an overnight. Where exactly is Haspin again??

I kind of like the helmets used for rafting, they cover the back of your head and have a chin strap so it doesn't come off easily. And if you're working on something too low or rough for a creeper, you won't have to hold the back of your head off of the ground as you move around on your back...

I read your thread. You're a real jerk you know that?? Now I have to do a bunch more work so my deuce will look that good too. :drool: (or at least half as good) Your's looks like it was the show room model. I plan on power washing mine real good, cleaning off the heavy rust on the frame...

Brushes?? No way. WAY too much work, not to mention all the runs you'd have to chase.

I've just been doing a few pieces, bumper, mushroom, grill, headlight sheetmetal, bows, etc., and I've aready gone thrugh a dozen cans of the OD green, and more than half of that in primer cans. There's no way 20 cans will do the job I want to do.

Uh, those never came up when I did the search or when I started to post this thread. Sorry, but sometimes those features DO NOT WORK.

I want to try and get my deuce painted this year. I plan on using Rapco paint, sprayed with an HVLP sprayer outside. I'm thinking 2 gallons of primer, and 2 of OD green. Is that going to be enough? There's no bed on it now, and I'll paint the bed when I get it. I probably won't do inside...

Will there be any vendors there with parts?

Uh, I showed up about 0830, nothing there! :confused:
