Looking great! Glad to know that it worked out for you. I like your winch cable cover, and your extra marker lights. I'd like to install a PTO winch on mine, but I currently have too many projects and too little time.

Good to know that the barter system still exists. Glad it's all working out for you, Ken!

Happy to help, and a very Merry Christmas to you as well!

Thanks, @marchplumber ! I've received lots of great advice and knowledge on this site over the years, not to mention entertainment and friends. I'm happy to have the chance to pay it back in some way, I just hope that my small contribution really is helpful.

Ok, I have taken photos and measurements. For the measurements, I used a cloth tape measure and I took the overall length, including the angled bends at the ends of some parts. I'm afraid that you'll have to work out the angles on your own. I'll start with the driver's side mirror, as shown in...

Sorry, friend, but the weather has been nasty all afternoon here. I haven't been able to get out to take any pictures. Tomorrow afternoon should be clear, and I will try to get things together for you.

I have the west coast style on mine. They make a big difference for visibility. I'll be glad to take some measurements and photos for you later today.

Thanks @Guyfang ! You rock! I'm looking forward to checking them out.

Good day to you. I'm not a moderator, but I can help with your questions. In order to send a PM, you need to make a certain amount of posts first. I'm not sure of the exact number, maybe 10? This rule was made to help prevent scammers on the site. Replying to classified ads requires an upgraded...

Torque multipliers are the way to go. They come in different forms, but the style that gringeltaube posted above is what I own/use. I replaced all 10 tires when I bought my Deuce, and the lug nuts were no problem. I found a video that shows how to use them. You can skip to around 1:30. Hope this...

@jeffhuey1n might know.

No matter who wins, this has been a great month! Excellent picture loaded campaigns, and some very nice rigs! Good luck to all!

Happy to help. That spreadsheet has come in handy for me more than once.

Here is a link to the Deuce parts spreadsheet. It lists the alternator and compressor fan belts. Hope this helps. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/deuce-parts-quick-reference-spreadsheet.82427/

Thanks for an interesting thread! I love seeing these photos, and it is really cool to read about how things are/were done with the surplus vehicles.

Congrats! Glad to hear all went well. We need to see more pics! She's a beaut.

How do the tires look? If you don't have the appropriate Budd socket, you will need it in order to change the rear tires. Juat in case one of them decides to stop being round. Also a large breaker bar and/or heavy duty impact tool. I also carried a 6 ton bottle jack and different sized 6x6...

Congrats, and good luck on your adventure! I drove mine about the same distance when I first bought it. Had my daughter as co-pilot and my Dad in the chase vehicle. I'm sure you've read the numerous threads on recovery advice, so I'll just suggest taking frequent rest stops to stretch and...

It takes a strong man to admit all that, Chucky. Brave of you, too to fight off all those pink aliens. Glad you lived to tell the tale. Seems like there's a lesson in there somewhere....

Sorry to hear about this. Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope everything is resolved soon.
