. For whatever it is worth, we don't really get straight up hard evidence of the specifications on these trucks. The crane in particular has problems where you get pictures of (for example) the rotation manifold. All you get is the outline shape of that part in the TM's. The valve body in the...

. Wow! Looks like you done good! That is a good looking truck and the goodies in the tool pockets make it even better.

. Yeah, you can set the default App on your Android when it asks Open with App1 (Chrome) or App2 (TapaTalk) by choosing ALWAYS as the default action. Be a little careful - because choosing always can make a mess if you choose the wrong thing.

. Never thought about that before @chucky , but having a ladder that is not attached to the truck would be really good. You could have a longer ladder that went all the way to the ground. Stepped out away from the truck so you could hustle things up on top would be infinitely better than...

. Wow!! That definitely has the dimensions. Well Done @gringeltaube ! Anybody without Acrobat can see most of the image below... (edited to show the entire drawing, as PNG file)

. One other thing worth knowing:. I happened into the fire cabinet where all my spray cleaners are stored this weekend. There is a spray called Deoxit that cleans and helps contacts like "the relay to the board" connection. It does amazing things...

. Your truck is looking Good!! Lots of work and the best part is that YOU did it. Somehow that just makes the smile that much bigger as you roll down the road... :)

. There is a low tech tool to test the bearings. Unbolt the rod cap, apply some Plastigage. That will show you what the bearings are doing...

. Looks really sharp for sure! You definitely have a nice vehicle. It would be a nice place to sleep out in the woods! AND thanks for the extra pictures!

. Agreed... That shift lever shouldn't be that hot. Even on a hot day, anything more than "air temperature warm" is hotter than it should be. .

. Welcome to the Outfit! Driving it home makes it a really good truck for sure. Give her a little TLC with some fresh oil and filters. The LO (Lube Order) is posted as are the other TM's (Technical Manuals) are here for you to download. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/the-deuce-tms.113/...

. Amazing how the weather takes all things with time... That is a nice looking set of steps. Funny. A lot of things that I do now are fixing things from 20 or 30 years ago. The only good part of that is that the next time it gets fixed, chances are it won't be me doing it.

. It might be worth your time to disconnect the batteries, then clean the board that all the relays plug in to. Electrical contact cleaner, then a spot of Anti-Ox paste on every contact. An old toothbrush on the connectors after spraying the board. Also clean the contacts on the relays too...

. Well congratulations and Welcome to the Outfit! If you didn't already have them for your earlier New-To-You trucks, Technical Manuals (TM's) are here and lots of folks who like to share information too. Since you already have a small motor pool, grab up your phone and post us a few pictures...

. Happily no leaks from me. Yes sir. Bed with internal tie-downs between the tool pockets. The canvas and bows are in the long left pocket. The bed is also removable to be used for some other function that wasn't ever developed...

. Well start collecting your bottle caps, go trade them in for cash and do a deal. When you have the JLTV, let me know. I have 1 of 5 prototype trailers for them you can buy :)

. @Guyfang Don't know that any "truer" words have ever been said. You really can't make it more broke! I learned how to rebuild my first motor with a core that I carried out of the woods - one piece at the time. 1956 Chevrolet 265 cubic inches. It was old and tired, but with a ratchet and...

. Ran when parked. :cool:
