It is a part of the cab, I'm afraid. I suppose you could cut the rusted section out and fab and weld in a new plate... you might loose your vent, though. Otherwise, your either in for a new cab or some serious rust repair.
If it makes you feel any better, I've spent the last 3 years putting off...
I feel ya. I set out yesterday to do a few simple things on the deuce: replace the oil pressure sender, the oil pressure gauge, the water temp sender, and the air horn.
Well, I've got the gauge panel hanging halfway out in the cab, waiting for me to recontort myself in there and plug in the...

Make sure your front tires are aired up (I keep mine at 55), and remember you are dragging around two sets of duals behind you. If you have a lever/toggle switch under the dash with an...
Check the Deuce Wiki, although it may not be in there.
I did it for the 5-tons, you can peak in there and see how it's formatted if you want to add it to the deuce wiki.

It's another Multifuel engine more commonly used in the bigger 5-ton trucks. It is based on the same engine as the LDTs in the Deuce, and is the same size, but has a different block, oil-cooled pistons, and different fuel delivery system that provides much more power. The size similarity makes...
I set my truck at 1000 RPM on the hand throttle and let it sit until it builds up air pressure. This is 300 RPM above what idle is supposed to be, but is not high enough to damage the turbo before it gets fully lubricated.
So, yes, the best thing is to high-idle, but not too high.
