He sent me a PM saying he would try cleaning the clutch. I will post up if he gets back to me.

I got a PM from him saying that he had gotten some advice on how to fix and was probably going to go see about it tomorrow. Also said he would contact me afterwards to let me know how it went.
I don't know if he needs help with both vehicles or just the Deuce.

Gimpy, That's what I was thinking also but that doesn't explain that "it doesn't stay in 5th". I guess he could mean that the clutch slips in 5th. Trans overfill would explain that if the clutch is slipping in 5th.

Home at Last - and Thankful!!!
I finally managed to limp her home. The culprit seems to be the loss of the rear main seal. Ran great with no problems for 500 miles of a 750 mile journey and then it started slipping. While driving heard a muffled pop sound followed shortly by the clutch slipping. We had to abandon the truck at the time and get rest. When we returned to inspect armed with all of the advice and tips from SS members, we were able to clean out the clutch and determine the leaking oil was in fact engine oil. I got the truck back on the road to Houston but had to make several additional stops to clean and top off the oil. It was a very long 14 hour 250 miles, but we made it. The next task will be to replace the rear main seal and clutch, but that will have to wait for another day. Thanks again to everybody for all of the help. I'll post some picks as they come.
Have a great Thanksgiving. I know I will.

Glad to hear you were able to get home for the holiday, CHEERS! If you have the 5 puck clutch, you can clean it and re-use it, they are not the organic material that gets ruined by oil.
Here is the one I did.
