The two oldest boys bought their first deuce!

The steel lines are not stainless!

It was probably much like my experience when I slammed the brakes on in my Suburban and the pedal went soft very soon after. A small pin hole of rust origin popped open and sprayed brake fluid all over the rear underbody. I bought new lines and replaced them. Had to use a vacume break device to get all the air out cheap enough to fix and good to know the lines are new now.

Yes, we broke the main steel line that runs from under the cab to the center of the rear axels. We tried to patch in one of the rubber coated lines of the rear axels but it would not work. We were forced to clamp down the line and run the rest of the way home on just front brakes. Do you all suggest somewhere special that I should go for replacement parts? Can I just get the parts from any Auto/Truck parts store?

Standard 5/16" steel line from any auto parts store.

Congrats on the pruchase, we are about to get a 2nd one and its the same feeling all over again! You can not legally have this much fun without green iron!

9 Children? You can start running a family bus service now, or, err... your sons, that is. That, sir, is a fine lookin' truck. enjoy it!

(I was bitten by the deuce bug, but I got my M37, and now a deuce doesn't seem too great, for a while at least)

Everytime I read your title I can't help thinking about how much extra liability insurance I would buy with two boys driving. These deuces are like battering rams on wheels. At least they won't be doing much speeding. Nice truck.

I figure that if they are involved in an accident (both boys are very, very good drivers) they will survive it and I pity anyone that hits them. Their other truck is a Yellow Land Rover Discovery XD, another high visibility truck. You are right....I do not need to worry about them speeding!

Great lookin truck, I'm sure the boys will have a terrific time with it. Seems like we got an awful lot of SS members there in Michigan!
