I've been reading the different threads about Deuces with snowplows, so I thought I would post some pics of one of the trucks that we have at work.
This is a 1996 Freightliner with a Detroit series 60 engine, Allison transmission, 6x6. The rear axles are Rockwell I believe, and the front is a...
Tony, i'm sure we do somewhere up here, if you want to see, punch in the alaska job corp they have statewide job listings.
Ahab, there are some good looking women here for sure, but also a lot of BMW's (Burly Mountain Women), and as for the mosquitoes.....there's not much good I can say about...
After reading your post again I realized that you were specifically talking about a soft top version, if that's the case, then yes, you would want a diesel fuel burning cab heater, definitely. lol
Although I'm not intimately familiar with the Deuce, I know that our fleet trucks run an auxiliary heater that is basically a second heater core that is independent of the factory one, that we mount on the floor of the cab somewhere, and it has its own two speed fan. With the factory and the...
Thanks! Ya, i saw it on there a couple weeks ago. And theres another one on Alaska's list in Fairbanks, but the guy got water in the engine, says all it needs it head gaskets but......
Anyhow, I would love to one but dont have the money right now. Just bought a new tool box. Lol
There is an old deuce down the road from me, and the other day I was talking to the owner, mentioned I would like to talk about buying if he ever wanted to sell, he surprised me by saying he would like to part with it and for a measly $1500.
Some details:
Early '70s Deuce and a half ('72 I...
Ummm, yes they are aftermarket, i dont know where they got them exactly but we get a lot of stuff from six roblees, and trailercraft. I dont know if there are branch stores down where you are. Try ebay?
ya, lol, in some places they gather at the dump and swarm you when you try to go there, you have to kick them out of the way :-) not exactly the image you might expect from our national symbol (despite how fitting it may seem at times)
I work as a diesel mechanic here in Alaska, and I can tell you what our company's trucks have. We have oil pan heaters, block heaters, an onboard battery trickle charger would be good too. We have custom made winter fronts on some of them, auxiliary cab heaters to supplement the dash heat, and a...
Hey guys, Thanks for the advice Ahab, I appreciate it. The daylight is pretty scarce this time of year, about 4 or 5 hrs of sunlight per day until after the solstice. I live in the South-Central part of the state, just north of Valdez.
Hi everyone, checking in from the north land. This site has so much good info, many thanks to whoever put all this together. My goal is to learn as much as I can here, I want to do a bobbed deuce when I can. I think it would be an absolutely perfect vehicle for my needs (firewood, hunting...
