    Deuce Wrecker Engine Swap

    Kenny, I am TRULY IMPRESSED with your work. Aside from the redneck engineered engine host, you have a knack for just 'gettin down' and getting the work done. THAT, my man is TRULY above and beyond. WAY TO GO. Keep those pix coming. I have learned so much just watching your pix. Get some in...

    baby HEMTT update

    Leonard, VERY CLEAN. Probably more military than even the military could have come up with. And I concur. You SHOULD consider producing it. OR perhaps sell the design to OSHKOSH company that makes the full size HEMTT so THEY could sell the design to the US military. BUT, they should call...

    Steering wheel size and height

    Scooby-Steve, The part was missing. But it looks like it would fit the hole that was left over. It appears to bolt up to the part behind it.

    Split Rims

    G744, I DO spend a lot of time on the highway. Not much of an off roader any more. But I JUST COULDN'T buy an RV. I'm just too much of an 'oddball' to do that. Plus, you NEVER KNOW when owning the deuce will come in handy. For example, I couldn't have helped a friend move this last...

    Heated fuel tank project, biodiesel, WVO..

    Bjorn, I'm NOT sure what size (OD) your copper tubing is. But if the current insulation idea doesn't work out, go find some water heater hose or garden hose that will 'slip over' the OD of the copper tubing. Just slice it down the middle like the current insulation and viola, an insulated...

    Steering wheel size and height

    I've seen the interior of a lot of trucks here. I have a couple of questions. I may be mistaken, but a few of you appear to have smaller steering wheels? Maybe on the 5 ton with p/s you don't need the larger wheel? Plus, it looks like EVERYONE'S steering wheel gives them more than the six...

    Questions and parts I saw today

    rdixiemiller, I've been talking with a guy on ebay who is parting out several trucks. I think someone here listed a radiator he's selling. ANYWAY, he has three fuel tanks, two of which are currently on running trucks. He wanted me to 'make him an offer' for one of those. So if $50 is a fair...

    Talking on a Cell in a deuce

    But, but, KENNY! YOU GOTTA MIRROR! I am severly envious. I just figured no mirror was how they came. Now I've got one more thing to add to my 'gotta have' list. Of course, with the rear curtain in place it's not much good, so I was thinking on adding a rear camera to my computer system...

    Talking on a Cell in a deuce

    In the next two or three weeks, I will be ordering 200 sq ft of Fatmat. I will be using it for sound insulation in my 91 GMC Suburban and the cab of my deuce. The floor will be easy. Clean it, remove and then rough up any rust spots and then primer the floor. Then the Fatmat is just a peel...

    Talking on a Cell in a deuce

    I just hang mine off the air hose for the windshield wipers. I MAY have to reinforce that hose when I put a new one in. Or just use a hose that has been wrapped in stainless steel... LOL Note the tan towel with the 'palm tree' motif goes with the green paint and the tan paint overspray of my...

    Split Rims

    G744 & Elwenil, IF (and only if) the moron comment was directed at me, I am hurt. Tools, yuppir. I will be adding some to my deuce setup here shortly. My truck already has an NPT quick disconnect. And I will be adding TWO more air tanks just like the ones there now and I will be mounting...

    Diesel fuel distribution and oil filtration system?

    Bill, even with ONLY a 1/2 mpg increase, with fuel cost going up, up, up this has to be worth something. And like you said, a bump in the hp as well. I guess I'm going to have to 'modify' my deuce with these products. THANKS for the input. I really appreciate it. jim

    Diesel fuel distribution and oil filtration system?

    Well, I've now talked to both companies. The fuel filter companies product is in the $500 range. As their web site says, they expect about an 8 - 10% mpg jump plus increased hp and torque. With the cost of fuel doing nothing but going up, this looks like a good idea. AND it comes in both 12v...

    Diesel fuel distribution and oil filtration system?

    Has anyone heard about either of these set ups? I'm not saying they will or will not work. Just wondering if anyone has seen them or heard about them. this one is for fuel... http://www.dieselinjection.net/fass/ this one is for oil...

    painting tools

    I just finished this thread. I was at first let down. The title 'painting tools' got me all excited. I am going to replace my 'pioneer kit' wood handled axe, pick and shovel with fiberglass ones, painted OD green. I will then refinish the wood ones for 'show only' type of displays. That...

    Questions and parts I saw today

    OK, I understand the HOW of flipping the hubs but I'm not to clear on the WHY of flipping the hubs. I picked up four six lug budd wheels with brand new Michelin XDY1 retreads on them - 275 80R 22.5 - and I was asked why not just remove both NDCC wheels/tires and just bolt up the the new...

    Talking on a Cell in a deuce

    I don't even own a cell phone. Pitched it several years ago. ONLY when the wife comes along (not yet in the deuce) do I have a cell phone. HERS. I've seen people using TEXT MESSAGING while driving. Now that's scary.

    Cool Suburban conversion on Ebay!

    I've got a 91 GMC Sub that I've been thinking of doing just that type of thing to. OK, the interior won't be correct, cause I've got four captains chairs, but it does have rubber floors. IT IS a gasser, but I could drop in a multifuel turbo diesel. It's already got a 40 gallon fuel tank. I...
