I agree...Dexron. I had a truck at Allison for servicing once. They spotted 10W oil in the transmission and asked me if I wanted 10w back in or Dexron. I asked them what they recommended and they said Dexron. I was told that 10W and Dexron are basically the same, except Dexron has additives...

Stuart, that was really cool. Thanks for sharing.

Be careful that the truck does not roll backwards on you after the brakes release. Chock the wheels before doing anything. Bruce

I just saw this post and read the entire thing. I am very sad about what happened. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. As others have said, at least he was doing something he loved and he had his loving wife along for this trip.

I can't help you, but there is no need for a second thread. If anything, simply post back in the original thread asking if anyone can help. Better yet, just PM WRECKERMAN in AL.

Don't waste your time. Just replace the entire bed. Get a dropside bed while you are at it. I know John WInslow in NC sells nice dropside beds for like $400. I bet you could get an entire bed with troopseats for that if you shop around. I have bought a dropside bed for that price so I know...

Looks great, John!

Man, glad you are OK. As others have said, it could have been worse.

John, PM me if you want to sell the whole truck. I know where a like-new van body is.

Really nice deuce. Congratulations!

The FIRST thing to do with ANY CUCV is to change the glow plugs whether they are working or not. Go with non-swelling glow plugs. You will thank me later. A swollen glow plug is either a PITA or a royal PITA...either way it is no fun. Swap them out.

How cool is that, though, that a thread started by David came back around years after his death! I mean that in the best of ways. I was honored to carry David to his burial in my M35A3 with CARNAC...and I am heartened that the thread that he started came back years later!

Check to see if it is a re-weld.

Either way you go, you are going to really sap the power out of either motor with those 1600s. Guys may like the additional speed they provide on the highway, the improved performance off road, or just the looks, but they will absolutely kill your power. Given that you reside in OK, hills...

No, the A2 rims have an additional hole for the CTIS to pass through the rim.

Yes, you need the troop seats to install the bows. I have seen trucks with bows and a cargo cover without the seats, but the bows do not fit tightly into the stake pockets in the bed. GMA Cover Corporation sells complete kits with the bows, but you will pay retail for them. They are available...

I'll second the Krylon ultra flat black. It is a perfect match for fresh CARC black.

How do the Firestones wear compared to the Goodyears? I have been VERY happy with how the Goodyears wear. I have one truck with G177s that I drove over 1,000 miles and it still showed the mold seam on the front tires!

In my opinion, that would be a mistake unless you know someone who has a lot of tires available cheap. If you switch from the 20" rims, you will be buying tires that can be used commercially, which increases their value. You can find 1100X20s available surplus. I have been looking for about a...

CARNAC, not sure who made the comments (I'll call you later), but I can say that your prices are great and you are one of the nicest and easiest guys to deal with. I know I always say "OK, here's the money" after you gave me a price.:grin:
