    Long-distance Deuce recovery question

    Having just done exactly that (fly and then recover an unknown-to-me Deuce long distance) I would mention that you can fax ahead a parts list to the nearest NAPA store to give them a bit of time to order stuff you need/want and that they do not have in stock. I found that getting "normal" 28V...

    9.00-20 singles question

    I like the look of the 11.00-20 singles. I just was not sure about the smaller 9.00-20. The info puts my at ease. I was a little surprised regarding the load rating. Ok, so I will flip my hubs! :smile:

    9.00-20 singles question

    Planning on singling out my truck with 11.00-20 XLs sometime next year. Seeing I am replacing axle seals, I thought of flipping the hubs right away in order to avoid having to pull the hubs again when I get the new tires. I do not need full cargo capacity at the moment and would just run...

    Horn button rubber cap question

    Thanks you all for making me feel less like a complete moron! Here I was thinking, order from a US vendor, you get made in the US quality....silly me! :grin:

    Any Deuce support in Manitoba?

    I am in the National Capital Region, too. You will be able to get many, many parts off the shelf at NAPA or other good autoparts stores. There is a cross reference list on this site (go to Resources - Technical manuals and then again to Resources - Parts cross reference list) so that the NAPA...

    Horn button rubber cap question

    So I ordered a horn button kit from ODIron. Little plastic bag, a couple of springs, rubber doo-dahs and brass cups. Can't be difficult. Assemble and install. Half an hour later I am feeling like a moron. TM is no help as it shows a different style horn button assembly. I finally got it working...

    bumper unit marking question

    Thanks. Yes, I found the info on google. "T" for "tactical" or "training"? S BN? I am still trying to figure out what the markings mean that are on my bumper.

    bumper unit marking question

    Nice try! She's all mine! Al, I have to demolish the kitchen over the weekend and prep for floor heat and tiling. You can, however, stop by and do the axle seals on my truck in the meantime! I need to keep an eye on my priorities....happy wife, happy life :-) As soon as the work on my...

    Its time but im undecieded..

    If you have the cash, buy an A3. Please do not bob it. Granted, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As far as I am concerned, a bobbed M35 is a destroyed truck. If it does not have one, you could always put a dropside bed on it to increase the useabilty factor.

    Prepping Deuce for Winter Emergency Search/Rescue Assistance...NO JOKE

    I think that this is cool (no pun intended) and your Deuce would provide valuable help. Many people are driving that could not withstand a sustained period of walking in inclement weather or have much resistance to cold (and misery). Thumbs up for providing help to them. I urge you to sit down...

    bumper unit marking question

    After some light sanding I discovered the following on the passenger side of the front bumper: FRC 49 STR (or STB). The corresponding vehicle markings on the left are gone. According to CARNAC, my truck saw service in the W1E0 B CO S BN 1ST SPWAR T GRP Location:FT BRAGG SPWAR is special...

    Why did you buy your deuce

    It depends who I am talking to. "What are you going to do with it?" is by far the #1 question asked by the average crowd. - I rode in MVs in another life. Just walking up to my Deuce when it sits in the sun in my driveway and smelling the warm, oily odour brings back memories and feelings. -...

    brake hose/flex line replacement

    I searched and also checked the online vendors. Short of taking all hoses off and matching them up one by one, is there a list of NAPA part# for replacing ALL flex brake lines on the Deuce? The cross-reference list does not appear to have them and the online vendors list single hoses, but not...

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    Yes, sir. You never signed anything to the contrary. It is just like any other used vehicle that you intend to sell.

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    Thank You! I was a little disheartened today. I mean...how can you miss five bad axle seals?? Then I set out and changed the alternator belts, fixed the charging problem (I think) and made the stop lights work again. That felt good. I am sure my truck is female. When she feels like it, she...

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    I believe in rules, safety and security. As non-US citizen, I can only observe certain things in the regulating structure, but I will not judge. As a Canadian, I cannot buy a truck, or any item, via GL (while the EUC is ambiguous with respect to citizens of "friendly" countries, GL only allows...

    Virginia to Ontario, Canada Recovery Trip - Report

    Summary : Just under 1000 miles (1600 km), two and a half days on the road and got to meet up with Westfolk. Unproblematic export/import (because I did my homework beforehand). Now parked in my driveway, with stuff to do before she can get plated. I became a member on this site years ago and...
