I know I can TIG cast iron to steel, but I don't want to do the job if its not needed. I like the idea of running a bead on each side to prevent sliding.
I may go ahead and do that, BUT first (since it all painted and pretty) I'm going to mark it with a sharpie and drive it around for a while...
My truck is near done w/ the Bob job, and I'm going over all the small things and making a list. i have to get new U-bolts because the one I had copied was done wrong and came out square instead of semi-round. Having a look at all that got me to wondering about my spring perches.
I did a...
Has anyone seen the new jeep concepts? I just caught it on the yahoo news real and one looks like an updated 715. Even has bedliner flooring instead of carpet. Here is a pic + the article

Careful trusting that there is no coolant in the WMO just because there is a separate tank for it. I work at what i believe is the 2nd largest chevy dealer in the US and can tell you that a technicians habits are not in line w/ keeping drain barrels clean and tidy. I use my oil drain quit often...
I work at a GM shop in Houston. Have been running our used ATF since day 1 after changing all my filters and running a water block filter. Truck loves it.... haven't had a single problem.
LOOKS GREAT,
I would have done mine the same way but i got impatient, and wanted to do a "How to" on here that just about anyone could do on their truck. I had already ordered the battery connectors and 6ft. of wire, but did it this way before the mail made it to the house. Maybe I'll do it...
Here is what i did on my Deuce. It may work out for you.

I have been working for GM dealers for 10+ years and the Optimas cause all kinds of wierd problems. They may be just fine for a military truck, but i refuse to use them in anything i own.
If you can imagine a strange electrical problem in a 1996+ up vehicle, I have seen it caused by an Optima...
I've been running 100% used Transmission fluid (Dexron IV and up) that i flush out of vehicles at the Chevy shop i work at. Been through 500 gallons or so without a problem. I filter it going into the truck w/ a water-block filter surrounded by magnets, and the truck has 3 more filters so I'm...
Hello All,
A few weeks ago the batteries in my Deuce decided to commit suicide while I was 40 miles away from home at a shooting competition. Luckily there was a guy there with a dually that pulled me up a bit so i could get her running. (in fact he did it twice because i wanted to stop and...
I stumbled upon the Deuce craze looking around on the internet for surplus brass to reload. Switched gears from buying brass to buying my 67 A2 real quick.
5. It looked mean as **** and i had to have one w/ the price being so nice
4. I get free used Transmission fluid from work so it doesn't...
UNLIKE most people i'm not one to be a pack rat. I have a good sized garage, but between my welding and Fab tools, motorcycles + parts, and gun range projects, I have ZERO room for clutter. I clean the garage every 6 months or so and just throw things away. These truck parts are so big, i...
i LOVE that bike. I don't ride it a lot any more, but its my baby. in 05 i put an 03 1k engine in it, 750 suspension, powdercoated black, and did a million other things. Dream bike that ended up wilder than my dreams

***UPDATE***
Did a bunch of work on the truck Friday and now have two wheels w/ junk tires i'm willing to give away also.
One wheel is riveted + one is welded
