That's a GREAT idea. I like that, I would have never thought of something like that unless I had to wrestle with more than just the one. It's hard to believe that the tranny is that light. Something moving a truck weighing in with a GVW of over 23000# highway weight I would expect to be a lot...

That could work. Does MO have a daily 3 digit drawing? You can buy raffle tickets real cheap, just get a roll and separate out the ones from 000 to 099. If you sell all 100 of them for even $45 you would have your $4500 and could use the last two digits of the daily drawing for the...

FM, that's a pretty slick hoist. I'm sure I could rig something up, but I would like to have a chain hoist anyway, so for the $50 that china freight wants for the 1 ton hoist I'll just pick one up. I have a really nice 2 1/2 ton hoist with a hand driven trolley torn apart in the basement, once...

sell em for $50 or $100 whichever you like, just tell people ahead of time, if you don't sell enough you're not going to raffle the truck, and return the money to people. It's kind of a hassle, but could be worth it to you and whom ever wins!! Just a thought!!!

I like the idea of the raffle tickets, I would buy one if you go that route.

I'm going to call my local NAPA tomorrow, Rusty over there is pretty good at tracking stuff down. Another member said in another post to get the alignment tool for a Chevy C40 or C70, 1 1/2" diameter 10 spline tool to line them up. I'll sick Rusty on it, and I'm sure I'll have one before I do...

Dennis, and the rest of you Thanks for the information. I have the soft top, but I'll be setting the 4x4's on each side of the center post for the windshield. I like the idea of overkill. After I finally build my pole barn big enough for the deuce, I'll have a better hoist on a movable...

I am planning on pulling the transmission in the deuce later this week to clean the clutch and bell housing up from my recovery mission. Currently the plan is to open the windshields and place a 4x4 across the cab and pull and lower the tranny with a 1 ton chain hoist. Then pull the flywheel...

Congrats on the successful and easy recovery. That's a sweet looking truck!!!

Keep it 24 volts. The charging system is set up for 24 volts, and that would be a PITA to change over, the stator for the the charging system is wound to produce the proper voltage to charge 24 volts., aside from rewinding the stator and putting a new voltage regulator on it, you would also...

I run "traveller" 15w-40 from Tractor Supply Company in my diesel tractor, and generators and they seem to like it just fine. I haven't changed the oil in "The Stone Wagon" yet, but that's what I'll use when I do.

If you are lucky enough to win...Hurry up and wait!!! Once you win one you'll need to fill out an EUC (End Use Certificate) and have it submitted to the government for approval. For the first time EUC they say it can take anywhere up to 45 days. My first one took about 16 or 17 days from the...

NAPA should have the belt in stock if it's for a deuce. NAPA #25-9510 Also, Goodyear #17511 Gates 9510

I don't know what PA is like for the titles, but bidding on GL is kind of fun. If at all possible preview the items you are looking at before bidding. Some GL sites do a great job of leaving things out of the pictures and descriptions. I always have a maximum price in mind before hand, and if...

Welcome aboard. This truly is a great resource for information and friendship.

I think you're right DieselBob, I like the way the truck looks, so I don't want to change that. But I can do without the noise, so this is a mod I'm going to do too. Helps with the noise, but doesn't take away from the looks of such a great piece of American iron!!!!

Welcome aboard, there is a lot of good reading material on here. Just be careful, you'll probably catch the "infection". The ODFlu, that is one hard little virus to shake off. Once infected there is no known cure, the only thing that can be done to relieve the symptoms are large doses of OD...

Here is "The Stone Wagon" beside my work car. I need a bigger shop as you can see, the truck is a little too big for the building it's parked beside.

Same here, I only Live about an hour and a half from the Summit Racing Store in Akron, I have been thinking about doing this to my truck, but I want to see how it looks and know how hard it was to do.

I'm sorry to hear about your adventure. As for the oil pressure, have you checked the oil level yet since you've been home? Maybe it has a leak or got pumped into the air system through the compressor. If the latter is the case, that may explain the loss of air pressure, and maybe even the...
