I don't really post here any more for many reasons. But one reason is that: I'm selling my deuce, but before the buying company takes ownership, I wanted it to be less of a death trap, because I'll have to share the road with it. The problem in question is the deuce's stopping ability and the...

Judging from some of the threads I came across in searching I'm leaning towards my issue being a problem with the actual speedometer, I just wanted a second opinion before I drop 30$-50$ on one. Sometimes my speedometer is fine, sometimes it isn't, lately it's more wrong than right. You'll be...

I checked the classifieds, OD Iron, and Saturn Surplus, and I can't seem to locate a source for replacement air diaphragm for my M105A2's master cylinder. I took it all apart because I heard it leaking air, and there's a crack in the rubber. The part number is "Midland 2340" google searching...

Has anyone had in experience with the properties of aircraft insulation? I was reading an article on discarded airplane fuselages being ideal for use as arctic research stations. Discarded Airplane Fuselages Resurrected As Mobile Arctic Research Station - Ecofriend That got me thinking...

My truck has super singles so I don't think I can fit a fullsize spare in the stock location. I don't want to stick my spare in the bed because I don't want to get it up there, or take up the space. Has any one mounted a large tire 46"+ on the front bumper? My truck is w/o winch so I doubt...

I just installed a Vic-1 in my deuce. I custom made a power cable for my M7777A and attached it to the terminals on my inverter for now to get power. I took a CX-13089 cut it in half, saved the 3 prong side for later use and took the 4 progged side for my power cable. I ground down the side...

I found these trucks a while ago when searching for information on deuce to RV conversions. I just recently located them both again, I thought I would share them with people who maybe hadn't seen them, because they are the inspiration for my imminent deuce project. The first one is charlie's...

I saw this sweet picture today and thought I'd share it. Someone said it was a Mack NO Prime Mover for larger field guns. Anyone have one? Anyone know anything about it? I see a hoist in the back as well as a field gun, and I guess some sort of winch on the front. I like the cab, it's...

The deuce is a dark bastard. Something about that OD seems to suck in the light surrounding it. Legally in Texas, since my deuce is over a certain width I should have marker lights on it. I've already connected my rear parking lamps to my front parking lamps, so that when my service lights...

Has any one here has a bed liner professionally sprayed in a deuce? I'm think about getting it done to mine but I wanted to see if anyone else had first. It's a bigger bed than a pickup, but at the same time it's less deep and not as complicated with the sheet metal. I want to see if I can...

So uh... This appears to be some sort of mobile artillery attached to a giant metal wang. What the heck is going on in this picture? What is that giant ....thing? Why is it shaped like that? Why do they think that camouflage would be effective on THAT? I guess it could be firing shells into...

I'm just curious on how many people seal up their axles and flanges with the paper gasket that sell for about $2.50 or if everyone uses some kind of sealant? The first time I pulled my axles to check my brakes I reused the paper gasket, and it leaked, then I made a gasket with gasket material...

Haha, I was leaving school for home in the deuce tonight and I shifted into 2nd: No movement. 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th all work, but no second. I've already tried to search "no 2nd gear" and "no second gear" and "second gear bad" but the forums are not capable of searching my common terms...

Has anyone here actually taken the more modern diesel and/or auto tranny from a school bus and integrated it into a deuce? As much as I love my deuce I'm always trying to find ways to make driving it less miserable. I would think that the brake system, the auto tranny, the engine, the...

I need a price quote for someone to pickup and deliver a M-105A2 trailer from N Little Rock AFB, AR to Lake Jackson, TX for me before the Thursday after this one. (Sep 10th?) My EUC cleared at kind of a bad time and I can't really get off to go pick it up like I wanted this late in the summer...

I won an M105A2 approx 9-10 hours away in Arkansas and eventually I'll need to go pick it up. I haven't really seen any good threads telling the process of getting it, other than the nightmares. I have two options, either adapt the FJ (the Toyota FJ is a half ton truck, comparable to a V6...

The following images were taken with a cellphone. I found some 10 inch hook style wipers at napa (image 1), and I wanted to modify my stock wipers to accept them (image 2). Using assorted tools and a pair of ford wiper arms free from the junkyard I got 'er done. I figured I would share for...

So I was on the final leg of my journey home with the deuce. I was on the ferry from port A, to Galveston. It was the first time I had been out of the deuce where it wasn't a fuel stop. It was 3 am or so and a random redneck kid comes up to me. Random Hillbilly: So wha're ya gunna do with...
