    Successful Deuce Recovery

    FINALLY finished installing my custom receiver hitch! I bolted it in place using 10 (5 per side) Grade-8 1/2-inch bolts, with large plate washers inside the frame to help distribute the load. I removed both pairs of rivets holding the rear crossmember bottom to each frame rail, and drilled...

    Been working on lots of little things lately; mainly rewiring things that need it. I finally finished my electric wipers conversion. I couldn't afford the prices of the very few A3 electric wiper assemblies that I found available, and I didn't have the time to spend fabricating a replica of an...

    I also got tired of wearing hearing protection while driving, so I ordered the Donaldson M070028 muffler & 2 clamps for it. I ordered the muffler from Filter Parts Pro in Arizona, and I am VERY happy with their service. I will continue to order parts from them when I can. I didn't realize...

    Been working on LOTS of little things in regards to the horn; I replaced the horn button, the horn started working again, but when I make turns the horn engages! How embarrassing. I've been tightening & wrapping parts in electrical tape all through the steering column, but now the horn doesn't...

    Clint, thank you! I plan on doing quite a few trips to California & back, and want to improve my visibility (as well as non-commercial compliance...just in case). You've put some amazing kits & conversions together for these trucks and others, and provided a LOT of useful advice. For whatever...

    Thank you Tom, that is exactly what I've been planning on doing: tapping into wires #460 & 461, and running them to the rear side lights. I've been poring over the schematics and your tip for the brake wire is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you!!

    Holy crap, now I'm getting told I've been limited on how many photos I can have per thread...apparently I've exceeded my 10 photos per thread...so much for condensing all I've done to my truck in one thread. Change indeed.

    God I hate this new website format...it's soooo much more difficult to upload photos, and I get timed-out after about 30 freaking seconds. This sucks A$$. I'm soooo stupid for renewing for another year....

    Been very busy with little fixes since my last post. I reinstalled a new 5-wire harness for Wire #27 to power the gauges & dash lights; it all works now! The fuel gauge is the only one I need to replace, I've ordered a new one from Erik's. I installed some new bulbs and all the dash lights...

    I just love the new driveability of my Deuce...the power steering conversion makes a HUGE difference & is well worth the expense. But now wiring & electrical problems are driving me crazy. The fuel level, oil pressure, temperature, and electrical charge gauges don't work, so I thought I'd...

    WOW, the new time-out feature is even shorter than it used to be...type a quick paragraph, and you are already signed out & Auto-Save does NOT carry over. Auto-Save doesn't work for beans for me either. But now I figured out I can type a few words and post it; after several "Server Not Found"...
