NAPA Number: 7235 http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Battery-Automotive-Commercial/_/R-NBE7235_0399064651 I recall I paid around $320 - $330 for the pair (including taxes), minus core charge ($18.00 x 2) as I had two bad batteries to trade in. Only one of my 6LTs were...

I like that a lot! I'm sure my new bride would definitely appreciate one of those. Now I'll have to survey my truck and likely post a want ad in the classifieds for that exact same cab handle! ;)

Now that's the finest form of Americanism that I've seen all week. Bravo IroncladGA, bravo for still try'n to help!

And that's actually my feelings exactly. I do not get into the really complicated modifications, so most any question that I have had, and likely will have, is/has already been answered. Though I suppose I subscribe to a different opinion on how forums are suppose to work. I believe they are...

I went with two Commercial batteries from Napa. 950 CCAs vs 725 in the 6TLs. Also the short dog bone still fit. Also, a very easy solution to holding down non-stock batteries is with a ratchet strap. I just put it in at an angle with one hook inside the square tubing in the box at either end...

Hmm, and here I was going to suggest looking at the air cleaner for the high rpm issues. Just a shot in the dark though as I'm probably one if the least mechanically knowledgeable here. I sure hope someone didn't contaminate your fuel! Perhaps it was the last of some gunk already in your tank?

State Farm Insurance & M923 info needed This might not help you, but I had my deuce and a half insured through the State Farm in Kaysville, Utah. However, due to the weight of the truck they would only insure me through their commercial policy, which was over $300 every 6 months for just...

I wrote up about my installation on my Blog here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/entry.php?7-24V-Fan-Installation And here's the thread for it before I turned it into my blog: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?72247-24V-fan-installation-w-pics!&highlight= Not that this is the...

You can see the results of the new bows and bow-sides here, when we were privileged to honor our local veterans! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?109289-Parade-Cargo-Cover-up-or-no-cover&p=1387442#post1387442

Thanks Woodsplinter! I was incredibly pleased with the result! Though I was surprised at the amount of time it took to sand the new wood, and then belt sand and finish sand the old bows. Which was ALL DAY. I blame the 100 degree weather that caused me to move my work station twice as the...

Thanks again for the valuable information, here's my newly finished bow sides and re-finished bows. The new bow sides are a little wider (2 1/2" vs 2 3/8"), but they're thinner (3/4" vs 15/16"). I still think they work very well. I ended up going with poplar wood over oak for several reasons...

I went an remeasured mine. Looks like most of them are actually 7/8" thick, a few are 3/4". I was at the local Lowes Home Improvement store here and they sell 8' oak or poplar boards. I'll probably go with the oak as that seems to be recommended from other threads. Thanks eagle4g63 for the...

Well, in my several hour forum search yesterday and today if it had been posted I would think I would have found it by then. But I suppose I'll have to add some "CAD" key words to the search string. Thanks a bunch! I'm surprised that they're significantly shorter than mine... I went to...

Hey all, For the life of me I cannot seem to dig up the dimensions on what is the proper length x width x thickness for the deuce's bow sides (that hold up bows and cargo cover). Many of my bow sides are the worse for wear and some could be reused with sanding + painting, but I think it'd be...

I got tired of paying so much money for the deuce when I barely drove it 100 miles last year. So I registered it as an "Antique", which does NOT require a safety inspection or emission test. When doing so I was informed at the DMV that I would need to place a "Statement of Truth" in my...

I read a lot of posts around Steel Soldiers about various battery chargers, trickle chargers, and maintainers. Many of them arguing the best solution of either dual 12v or single 24v charging. I feel that the best comment in this continuing debate was made by steelypip...

Starting in May of 2011, I knew I wanted to put my Deuce in the my town's Independence Day parade - I also knew that I tended to get just way too warm in my truck (engine heat and weather contributing) - especially while needing to man handle the manual steering. Tilting out the windshield...

Let me share with you a few things that I've learned with owning a deuce in Utah. Please note, the following are my opinions and experiences and may still contain inaccuracies, please call the appropriate agencies or visit their websites to verify for yourself. Don't forget insurance I've...

In my Classified ad for the Valve Stem extenders, I misspelled "Stem" as "Steam" in the thread title. I tried editing it and in the Classified's forum it still shows "Steam", however, if the ad is opened, the title of the thread is properly spelled "Stem". :-?
