A 1,000 MILES?!? Just exactly which continent are you gonna be on? But no matter where, a duece sounds like what you need. You can always add an extra fuel tank and carry spare parts in add on compartments.

Aw come on! It's not that bad. It wouldn't be too bad with a decent set of wheels. It's just a funky camo paint job.

Well. I bought two so I have one that will fit on the new one if I have a problem. I have the second one set up to accept an air hose, but I could just unscrew the air chuck if I had to hook up a trailer that doesn't fit. I didn't notice any pin though.

I fixed the emergency side air line, replace the valve that was damaged, and pulled off the mudflap to pound the dents out of it.

Well I got a ball valve at Lowe's out of the plumbing dept., It works-no leak now. It's not nearly as heavily built as the orginal part, don't know how it would hold up if I had a trailer hooked up all the time. It should be ok though. I went to Advance for the glad hand, they don't carry...

I found the air leak, the valve for the emergency side glad hand got bent back when the truck got backed into a tree. It's the brass shut off valve so its the weakest link back there. It made the threads on one end oval and it's also been cross threaded so the part is toast. Have any of you...

:ditto:

Pretty much only the military consistanly makes you shut it down when fueling diesel. Pretty much everyone else realizes there's virtually no chance of starting a fire just from fueling with diesel. We do shut down our fire apparatus at the pumps, mostly to be a good example and so we can hear...

I would think it would be easy with an M36 since the frame in the rear is extended well past the rear, and if it had the winch extention in the front it would just be a matter of fabbing up some mounting brackets. With an M35 you could probably extend the frame and bed to get the extra space...

You are correct Sir! But to go one step further, you should put a high-railer setup on your truck!!

Around here, I think you'd get fined for taking a vehicle in a river like that. And if you ever had you vehicle go throught the ice on lake Erie, you'd have to pay for a marker buoy until they could get a barge out to lift it from the bottom, which you pay for also. :(

Yeah, but the military oversaw it so I assume nothing. (Based on multiple past experiences)

I might be able to get an A3 bed to put on my A2, is the mounting hardware different or do they drop right on? I know they have the marker lights that the A2's don't, and I think they have tie-downs as well. Are there any other differences? Will the ribs and seats from an A2 fit?

I think you'd have to think about where to add the extra air tanks you're gonna need first, those will use up your supply fast!

Gringel, the pocket tube are what I'm talking about. There's one or two of them that have rusted through at the bottom.

I got a porta power, I'm saving up for a welder. I've already got 220v to the garage. It would be easier to just replace the bed, but the wife likes to have money for paying bills, utilities and other nonsense. But thanks for the offer! 'Course I could always take the deuce down to the...

Does anyone know if the rectangular tubing on the deuce bed is a stock size? I have a couple of rust spots that probably need to be cut out. If I can just cut out the cancer and weld it a new piece it shouldn't be too bad as far as the rust. I also have to fix some damage to the back of the...

:cool: You'll just have to take my word for it.

The heck with parades, I'm thinking I'd like to take her driving over some bumpy roads!! :-P

Finally conned the old lady into taking a ride in the deuce. Just did a quarter mile loop out back by the woods. She had not been very receptive about the new aquisition, but since I've been working hard on finishing the patio this week she humored me. Hit a few bumps and the back end got to...
