Ahm, no, that is merely the wisdom that comes with a certain age! :wink:

Folks, you fail to see the OPPORTUNITIES that arise from reduced military spending! PM the Deuces and, when the time comes, contract them back to the military! Save the money and buy more Deuces afterwards. Ok, yes, I am joking...but only partially. This very same situation is currently going...

You might be a Redneck if...you have a pingpong ball duct taped to you fuel sending float!

Nice job with the painting. The sheet metal looks good and the paint is coming out well. You can, of course, do whatever you want; it is your truck. I, too, believe that you have a rather rare truck that is made even rarer by its completeness and good condition. Whoever had it last did not even...

The Volkswagen TDI engines have a shutoff valve just before the intake manifold that is momentarily activated (closes and re-opens after a short period) when the ignition is switched off. It is an additional safeguard in addition to switiching off the fuel supply. It would also reliably shut...

Re: RE: Turbo question In another life I worked on a tug boat and one of our Mirrlees-Blackstones did exactly that. I will never forget that beast starting to revv up, out of control. Yeah, they are machines, but that engine was screaming like a living being. The chief engineer ripped the air...

I remember reading that the rear PTO off a 5ton also fits as a rear PTO on a deuce. Can someone confirm that? 5ton PTOs appear to be easy to get; deuce rear PTOs not so much.

Re: RE: what r duece worth now (newbie) Those are wise words, indeed. It is easy to trash commercial re-sellers for their "inflated" prices, compared to a truck fresh from the auction. But then, if you buy from a re-seller you can jump in and drive the truck home. Not a single dime more spent...

I just (as in: one hour ago) drove from Ottawa to Montreal; traffic was so bad, I did not have a chance to whip around, catch up with the truck and snap a picture (so do not give me grief!): A semi loaded with three Canada Deuces was heading towards Ontario on autoroute 40. They all had...

Thanks! That was a good, level and mostly balanced interview.

Could someone please youtube (yes, that is a verb and I am sticking to it!) the TV interview? Out-of-staters are interested...

Murphy says: "If it breaks, it needed fixing anyways!"

I showed the picture of the lineup to my better half. I explained that these trucks belonged to ONE guy. Paving the way, you know....She said: "single?" :roll:

Kudos to your cochones for fishing the chunks out and continuing with your day (and another 8k). I would have pulled the panic cord right there and then. The shedding of unnecessary parts means that an engine rebuild is raising its head. In a way, at least you got enough additional mileage out...

Made in USA Made in USA is good. Made in Canada is great, too! :D

The Deuce. vacuum tank and all, looks sooo tiny behind the 5ton wrecker!

Is it likely that a 1986 M35A2C with a VIN starting with 292272 has dual circuit brakes? I thought I had read that the VIN starts with 1040 on the trucks with a dual master cylinder, and that only 1987 and 1988 trucks came with it.

I would very much like to see pictures of your bobbed 5-ton!:D nopics :D
