Agreed MDL I know the middle of this country, in the area known as the "plains", which is far larger than any non midwesterner will know, is a place with dominating winds, and weather phenomena beyond most people's comprehension. I want to relocate sometime in the future to the high desert...

If you look closely, there is a 1-1/2" nut tied to the end of the light rope that is tied to the can. I am a weather observer here and the highest wind I have logged is 72 mph and it stayed on. I have a heavier weight if it does blow off. Sometimes when I start the truck, it does not...

Here is my solution to the cap stack requirement and it is one that works with any wind I have here which can be considerable. It was suggested by our JATONKA RL

I apologize for missing that portion of the trhead you posted. I would check the fuel filters and also the air filter to make sure those are in proper working order. Any reduction in fuel supply will be felt in top rpm operation. Also an air filter can look clean and still be quite filthy. The...

The Multifuel is not a powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination. If you are pulling hills in 5th, and staying over 2200 you are getting about the best the engine can offer. It is only 140 hp and very low torque as compared to many diesels today. I am not sure where the top of the torque...

Geesh John.... I went through all the TM's looking for "the right one" (downloaded at least 6 to look through them) and could not find it so I went to finding out what distributor is in the truck (Delco) and then found some "basic settings". Leave it to you to have the one TM (probably...

I did some research and found the REO 6 cylinder uses a Delco distributer. Older Chevy inline six cylinder engine specification calls for a points gap of .019 thousandths. I would venture that .020 would be a good place to start. If your points are too tight the engine will not want to run...

Here is an ebay item number for a holding tank and valve. I am not sure if this is what you need. here is the item number: 370283121093 Hope this helps This guy is near me if you want me to go look at the part. RL

What is sad is that the local offices are not staffed by DMV employees. They are employees of the clerks office for the county you are in. This creates a situation where you are at the mercy of the confidence and the experience of the person you are talking to at the moment. You would think...

Did you register it "Historical" or did you register it Commercial? If it was commercial that would explain the very high cost. You probably paid sales tax as well. With DMV, you MUST BE PATIENT no matter HOW STUPIDLY they are acting. Lose your cool, and you will wait until **** freezes...

Press the numeral set on one side back at the top just underneath the top plate and it will spring back. Then you can swing the upper piece off of the post. The upper piece has a recess that holds it on and in place by this spring action. Once you have one side loose you can press on the...

For sten ciling a 3" star I use "Sticker paper" in my injet printer. I draw a star of the dimensions I want and when I am satisfied with the size I print it on the Sticker paper and then cut the star out with a stencil knife. I use the sticker paper as a mask and then can throw it away. A pack...

In response to Doghead I just had a conversation with JC Taylor and they advised my trailer is covered for Liability behind my deuce and that I can get Comp and COllision on my trailer for its value if I would like to. I am sorry this reponse took so long, but I was waiting for a reply to my...

In order for the insurance to meet State specifications it must meet the same standards as any other vehicle insurance. The historic designation denotes a special use, offers the insurance company a limited liability but cannot be written to exclude any "required" coverages set forth in NYS...

It all goes back to the USE of the vehicle. I do not USE my deuce in any way that would contradict the regulation. I know several LEO's and their general opinion is that I am not exceeding my rights as far as being a MV owner under the Historic regs. As I said in my previous post, if you are...

Here is the link to the PDF that NYSDMV has for Historic Vehicles http://www.nysdmv.com/forms/mv440H.pdf I hate to disagree Doghead, but I have not found any text in the regs that do not allow you to haul a trailer. Here is the link to the reg itself. The relevant text,section 401-7 (G)...

Hi; I got my deuce this spring and registered it in early June. I have a 1973 AM General m35a2c and was required to provide an SF-97 to get a titile and registration issued. The DMV I went to would not accept the paid in full invoice I had. I opted for Historic plates. ($25 per year unless...

Well now, there is an interesting point you must consider: How does the speedometer know what size tires are on the truck? It would make no difference to the speedo or the tach whether you had 9x20's 11x20's or 24x36's on the truck. The ratios of the Speedo and the tach as it pertains to...

I run 48-52 with my deuce. It runs about 1850-2150 R.P.M. in that speed range and seems to be very happy at that speed. I have significant wind resistance with the S280 on the back and that tells more in acceleration than it does at speed. I know it is not weight because the box is almost...

Commercial vehicles require proper lighting and that will be an issue for your DOT friends if you have an opportunity to spend some "official" time with them with your deuce in commercial service. The military does not worry about clearance lights and marker lights. They put a minimum of...
