Someone better get that truck in a barn or we'll tray to sneak across the border, play "let's make a deal Monty", haul it north and turn it into an M216 CDN. That truck is blue rare up here. Ideally, finding any markings could reveal a past that absolutely needs to have a future . That could be...

Did we get the holes in the right place? The original mufflers we used for the template had a little difference in the hole locations. We used the first one that fit Goose well. It looks like yours fits like a Goose.

Did we talk about what the hood number is from? It seems like weeks since we talked and I'm sure the waitress put something in my coffee the night before we met. I'm almost certain it was Bailey's, Kahlua and Vodka. You'll get a chance to catch up with pictures when the kids get licenses and...

Does that beast have the REB shift kit on it? Over use maybe? I mean they were originally designed to select a gear and go. This part likely wasn't upgraded. If the constant shifting is hard on them it would be good to know. You're ready for snow right? We think it's time for some snow photos.

A Horse With no Mane That is a great photograph of some finely groomed ponies in front of the 2 trucks. Beautiful. Looked for a truck without a cab heater and just a circulating heater but no such luck. Didn't see a block heater banged into one of the frost plug holes either so not sure why...

Me thinks they burned a bunch of canvas tops before going with a taller stack. We were extending the bow legs up for taller Canadians so the demand seems to come in later in more quantity. Additionally, the shop vans didn't all have tall stalks either so it's a story that needs to have a story...

G749 Heater Plumbing Bummer, found a picture. Looks like a plunge into a 'drain plug' at the back of the block. This was an earlier Canadian option. They put the heater under the hood, ran the feed from the water pump to the heater and you can see the short return line going into the...

G749 Heater Plumbing I need to get a picture of the back end for you but it starts here just behind the water pump. We have an adapter tied into that plug. That line runs into the heater and the outflow comes back out of the fire-wall and disappears in the back. I want to use you as an...

They set the trucks up with circulating heaters tied into the heater plumbing. Not sure the difference in power drain off the house but you jump in and the water is warm, oil is warmish and the heater blows warm air. Big difference in base price investment so let's do some shopping. Did you...

My trucks will revolt if they see this. I can just hear them "The 211's driving around, why not us?"........ "Load something in me, I'll carry it"...... "Fraid' of the cold Dave?" ...."I'm moving to Montana" It's so good to see an Early Deuce moving. Sounds like you need a muffler...lol. I...

Snakes hey, let's keep that story quiet! Sure glad it turned out the way it did. The wives would never let you boys play together again if you go off getting hurt. As it is, one of us is going to be telling the ladies "we're off to look at a truck".....and now the reply is going to be, "remember...

PWI, Posting while Impaired You guys are wise not posting while you're slurring your typing! Don't PWI. I didn't want to get all cad on you boys while you're partying but I'm thinking this might help out USMC008 and our future muffler builders. Muffles the muffler man changed the original...

You're bringing a woody home! Nice work gents. She needs a name....can we call it the Termite ate er???? While you were recovering, we were testing out the latest husher and swapped out Gizmo's tube for the test. I gave the boys a muffler out of the barn for a sample and we found a wee...

302 GMC removal That gives me a whole bunch of confidence that we're using the right machine as an engine hoist. The front tires on the skid-steer aren't even working. The fork looks real handy too and we can use it to cook hotdogs after the work is done. Great job! Really got to feel for the...

Well then,,,, I may hit Medicine Hat in the next few weeks but there's also an opportunity for me to be in Lethbridge July 1. I could throw the brake parts in the box and thin out the stock a little. Still trying to talk you kids into stamping a passport and coming North......but a meeting in...

G749 Transmissions Are we still itchin' with the fishin' ambition for a transmission mission? I think I'd bring down the one with the bellhousing so it's heavier and more difficult to slide into your truck. We know that they're take-outs, won't know the condition until you take it apart.

Parts missing and hard to come by I'd love to hear the story about that truck's after service life. Looks like a better time than having a manure spreader on it. Lighter cab, open wheel racing, rad supports flipped for cutting wire...lol. Poor ol' girl! Keep up the good work! You got me...

That gives me a big smile so I'm thinking you must be very happy with it. The color looks good! Have you pulled the valve cover yet? I want to see under that skirt! We have some more valve cover gaskets ordered up from NAPA so the manufacturer knows there is a demand for them and should keep...

G749 Canadian Production Numbers These are all good questions that deserve better answers than I have. I first recall the metric system in school in 1977 and some folks putting stickers over the MPH gauges on the dash in their civi cars but I've never seen them in the deuces. The rest of us...

Not sure exactly what year it happened but the feds made the lads add an orange triple bar to the roof as well as a red one to the rear. My convoy switch powers the mirror and roof lights. The truck on page 3 is missing the triple, light bar on the roof but I'm guessing it had one.
