Back when I was deatched to the motor pool for a while, I seen some of these "modifications" done. Purposeful tricks done to trucks to either get rid of them or get them replaced. At the time, it seemed like a good idea because we'd either be rid of a problem child or get a better truck in...

It makes boost.

Someone offered me a motor for free as long as it's picked up from his shop. I could use it to put into my 73 Plymouth to get it back on the road. If someone is going to be around this way, I can throw you some gas money for the trouble. I just need a few days to coordinate with him, Saturday...

First thing I said too! Looks nice though! I'd like to see some more pics of the truck in the OP. Just curious how the bob-job looks.

I know someone interested in picking one up, I'll pass it along to him.

This is what I thought too until people started ranting about how there's a 342 on GL now. I thought he was just asking if they ever showed up. IMO, the OP didn't reveal the auction, but the people bitching about it revealed it... :roll:

A guy I work with knows that I have a Deuce. He told me today that he seen a truck that looked like mine, only it had one axle in the rear and dual exhaust stacks. He said it was a tan looking color as well. I don't know how accurate his description is; if it's a Deuce, 5T or etc; or if it's...

I'm interested in those wheels/tires. Got any more info on them?

I didn't know that, I bet mine just needs to be adjusted. It's so high pitched it almost sounds like it's "squealing".

Could that be wired through a switch in the cab? At the flick of the switch, you could pick either one!

Forgot about the mattress :oops:

On the bright side, I'm not scrapping or cutting up the truck :o The Deuce air horn could always be swapped back in.

I'm wanting to mount semi-truck horns in mine. I think the Deuce horn is way too high pitched. It's the air horn equivalent of an 87 Toyota Camry, lol.

If you're not claustrifobic (sp?), then 1.5' would be enough to make a small sleeping space. I'm a minimalist, so that'd be perfect use of space.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Fuel Economy of Alte I wonder what your EGT's were with Kerosine?

RE: Re: RE: got it home Any truck that you can drive home (safely) is a good truck indeed! Looks great, I'd like to have a 108 in my stable down the road.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Fuel Economy of Alternative How would the E85 react in our engines? Is there anything in the system that it can deteriorate?

Re: RE: Re: Fuel Economy of Alternative fuels I haven't taken a long trip on straight diesel to compare my mileage, I just know what I get on 50/50 WMO (that's all I run).

RE: Re: Fuel Economy of Alternative fuels I ran a 50/50 mix of diesel and WMO on the interstate at 50mph and averaged about 8.5 mpg.

Sounds like Darwin at work.
