    Suggestions on hard top rear window seal.

    I purchased a basket case hardtop with the older style oval one piece rear window. I want to remove it before blasting it, grinding it, welding it ect. The seal is going to fall apart in doing so. Any suggestions on a replacement seal? Thanks all.

    Anyone know what this might be from? (SOLVED)

    I thought It may fit the deuce but the opening is too low for the rear window. It's much more hd than the ones I've seen on them. Very low priority just curious is all. I picked up some other parts from a fella down the road and he had this too so I picked It up.

    My first ever fuel run in my new to me deuce and a half went well...at first. Ideas?

    Air windshield wiper maintenance

    I'm working on getting my truck ready for inspection. My wipers work but very very slowly and am in the process of changing the lines, they aren't leaking but very dry rotted. Is there any lube (maybe air tool oil?) that I can use to get them moving a bit faster or do I need to replace them? Thanku

    Oil pressure reads nearly 100 psi when cold.

    My oil pressure is reading very high until it warms up for a while. The gauge reads nearly 100 psi. I am going to change the oil very soon as I have no idea what type or how long it's been in there as I just brought the deuce home yesterday. Should I be concerned?
