    Steering wheel space: poll

    Alright, let's hear it; how much space do you have between your stomach and the steering wheel of your deuce?

    Need help! Running out of time on a M105 out of Hill AFB UT

    So I ended up pulling the trigger on a M105 trailer with bows and tarp out of Hill. I previewed it the day I dropped my Pa-in-law off at the University of Utah to take care of a happy, bouncing 10lb. bundle of cancer he had growing on his leg. Then Mr. Murphy got involved... My kid brother...

    Stake pockets

    Hello all, I've made some plywood sides for the truck that are 4 feet tall, using the plywood recycled from the kid brother's (failed) attempt to make sides. His attempt failed because the 2x4's that he used to anchor into the stake pockets all broke off at the top of the pocket. I'm using...

    Field-expedient fuel quality test?

    It looks like the kid might have put some watery fuel into the tank this week, the duece only made it 2 blocks after being refueled before it died, and refused to start. It runs as good as new after a complete fuel system drain and refill. Here's the question: does anyone have a qood method to...

    Fast-load articulating car dolly with pintle hitch

    I've got an idea of something I want to build, and would like to run it past the group first. A friend has recently shared with me the need to repossess a pickup truck that he was selling to an acquaintance, who has ceased to make payments on the truck. The truck has a blown motor (hence no...

    Deuce paddle wheel?

    I've been studying on taking some spare duece rims and welding something up that would allow for ultimate traction capability, in the event that I get bogged down and stuck. It would need to be a one- to two-man operation of installing the modded rims on the outside of a singled out tire, to...

    Identify this old crane?

    I found an old crane that the guy says I can rip the wheels off of for my duece, the tires on it right now are 14x20's. Says insley on the back, but couldn't find anything comparable on a web search.

    Seller Responsibilities

    A recent comment by Porkysplace about a person who knows nothing about military vehicles travelling 500 miles to pickup a vehicle of unknown condition from a flipper got me thinking... As owners, friends of owners and fans of military vehicles, do we hold ourselves to a higher standard of...

    A2 to A3 Extended Service Life Conversion

    I've read that when building the M35a3, 3 M35a2's would be used to build 2 A3's. Use 3 trucks to build 2. I've searched, but haven't found explanations on what specifically was used, what was tossed, etc. Can anyone explain how to cannibalize a bunch of M35A2's and make some A3's? If this has...

    What do you stow under the Driver's seat?

    I keep my air hose and some cargo straps under my driver's seat. Also a 14ft logging chain. (the rest of my pulling chains are below, in the toolbox) What does everybody else keep under their stock driver's seat?

    Field-expedient Deuce tire lift technique

    I'm looking for a way to lift a 9x20 standard tire with wheel into the bed of the truck without risking a back injury. I know that the easiest answer would be to have soldier B assist soldier A to lift it into the bed, but sometimes soldier B isn't around. A truck crane would make short work...

    Single Battery on 24v System

    After reading DUG's thread about wiring a 12v secondary alternator to his duece (I read past page 5, even after his warning, probably should have listened to him) I've got a simple question, and don't feel like tearing up my own equipment to find out. I think I may already know the answer, but...

    Fuel Leak

    for duece owners, just wanted to take a quick survey of where anyone's found a fuel leak at, and the steps they took to remedy it.

    Time for some new belts?

    I've worked my way into a mess with my Duece, maybe somebody can point me in the right direction. I hear an obnoxious howl/squeak when I rev up, and smells like a belt might be burning. I think this is how I got things messed up. I was tooling along the interstate, ear protection in place, and...

    runaway engine?

    A buddy of mine just nuked the motor in his turbo diesel Isuzu box truck, said the engine starting sucking the oil up into the combustion chambers, and ran uncontrolled until the engine siezed due to no oil. Reading the TM's...says if you pull the engine stop and engine keeps running, take cover...

    limited slip on M35A2?

    I went logging this weekend, bogged myself down in a wetland area, and noticed that while right side rear tires (bogged down and slurping mud) spun, the left tires that were on drier ground didn't turn, alas the left front tire was bogged down and spinning, and the right front spun as well, just...
