Bottom line is everybody wants to get a good truck cheap. I've been known to buy a truck for resale. I only buy on the lower end of average prices so I can give people a good deal when I sell it. The best way to keep me from buying a truck for resale is outbid me :wink:. How would you suggest...

I'm no tire expert by any means but I have been known to try and get by on "qestionable" tires and have them blow out :-D. I'd say the tire with the cut is unservicable. Reckon you could find a modern tire with pretty close to the same measurements and have it recaped with the correct tread...

When you drain the tanks a drop or two of oil or a little milky water is no big deal. If you drain the tanks and get enough oil to make a decent puddle on the ground then I'd say a compressor swap is in order.

If grossly overloaded off road (which 20,000lbs is) a deuce tends to start breaking springs and axles. That's what the loggers that use then around here tell me. I think a 5-ton will be more suited to your needs.

JATONKA has the seat covers. I think it's $35 for the back or the bottom of the drivers seat. Don't know the price for bench seat covers.

They are good engines if you can tote the fuel to it fast enough :wink:.

If you have to pump up the brakes it could be a number of things. My first guess would be air in the system after I checked that I'd make sure the brakes are adjusted. If you still have to pump them it could be the master cylinder (this is kind of rare). It is normal for the pedal to be more...

You should have stopped by and said hi :wink:.

It has gasser fenders and the s/n starts with "M". I'd say that truck started it's life as a gasser. Check and see if the rear engine mounts are bolted or riveted. From what I understand, trucks that have been converted to mutifuel have the rear mounts changed and will be bolted it. It's at the...

I think the oil level should be on the full mark with the spin-on filters installed. A deuce with stock filters will show above the full mark when full after the truck has sat awhile. This is because the oil has drained from the filters and raised the level above the full mark. So the full mark...

Please don't take this the wrong way :wink:. If you've already got it home and don't know if it's a gasser or not you need to really follow Kenny's (recovery4X4) advice. Read the TMs untill you understand them and what you don't understand feel free and ask here. We will help you out. Just don't...

:ditto: I would cal the reg. number the military license plate. The only "proof" of the reg. number on most trucks is the number painted inside the doors. In rare cases the reg. number can change. The VIN will never change. It's with the truck at the time of manufacture (stamped in the frame)...

Kenny is right. I've changed engines in all kinds of vehicles and equipment. I'll have to say a deuce is the easiest I've ever done. You can swap the engine without even looseing the coolant.

Wait till you get my bill :shock:. Just kidding :wink:. Like I told you before, it's not in my way. I'm in no hurry to get it gone and the storage is still free :-D. If you go get the M35 you know where I'm at and have my number if you run into trouble.

Air lockers are far better IMO. Detroits sometimes behave "funny" on road and if it's a little slick on the road from rain, snow, or ice you can really get into trouble. I rather have the air so I could turn it completely off for on road use but I my be a control freak like you said :wink:.

wreckerman has a good idea :-D.

M105 trailers are fine trailers but there ain't no way you're going to fit a lathe, workbench, drill press, and toolbox in there and have enough room to use the equipment. A M22 trailer might work but it's still a little on the small side and rare. A M349 Trailer weighs about 8,000lbs empty...

I've got one I've been debating about selling. I don't drive it much and I could use the money. It does have a little rust in hidden places but it's not ate up with it by no means. The only thing that's not stock is it has a homemade hardtop on it and I put in a civy distributer. I kept the old...

The multifuel does have higher compression than the cummins. Don't know about the injection pressures. Does that really make any difference? I could understand more volume of fuel or the injector design would make a difference but I can't see how the pressure would.

I had a gasser once that had the s/n on the pass side. Don't remember for sure but I want to think it was in the same location as the drivers side. Seems like I remember David Doyle saying one time that some numbers were towards the back of the fender. David Doyle could really help you out...
