What did you do to your deuce this week?

[m816]

Added a Wilton 5" vise to the front bumper, a little tight for a 6" wo/wView attachment 395892

It might be tight, but it sure will come in handy.Good idea

New headlight bulbs (they were missing when bought) Replaced tool box/drivers step - old units frame was bent.

Well today I checked my radiator and had to add about 2 gallons of water. I also cleaned the street side of my front axle and painted it CARC green #383 I bought from RAPCO. I also sprayed my windshield frame fold-down pivots with some more of the 50% X 50% acetone/ tranny fluid concoction, and where it was rather stiff, I am now able to fold down the windshield and drive as a convertable. I drive my machine EVERY DAY !

I have purchased both PTO units for my truck, will be adding a hydraulic pump to the transfer case PTO, planning on adding dump hoist under existing box, and running aux. hydraulic's to both the front and rear of the truck, never know when it will come in handy. Do not know for sure what i can or will use the Transmission pto for, but thought it would be good to have. I do not have a winch, and where I live even if I get the truck stuck, there is nothing big enough to justify adding a winch.

this is what I did for my deuce the last two weeks

Had wanted a van and decided to build my own. For the floor I painted on rust preventative and then laid down one inch thick foam followed by three quarter inch plywood. The box on top is through bolted to the lower sides. The insides aren't yet finished and will be covered with foam with quarter inch luan mahogahny panel. The back door as well as the soon to be installed side windows come off of a parts winneabago. Leaving the tailgate down will give me room for a 3kw diesel genset which will power the soon to be installed a/c. Many improvements to come.

Only two weeks? Lets see the inside...It looks great in the pics.

Had wanted a van and decided to build my own...

Exactly what I plan on doing once the crew cab project gets finished. Still debating on whether I'll make it removable or not though.

You should start your own build thread with more pics and details....

 

[OttoVonMog]

i bought a complete set of chains for every axle: duals in the rear and single up front...

 

[ncbigcountry]

Wow........... just spent most of the day off and on looking at this thread from page 1! Got some great ideas!!

Todaty I positioned my bomb hoist into place, measured it out, and drilled holes aand bolted. My helper was my roller chain come along...

 

[AceHigh]

Do you plan to put the chainfall up there? I think it weighs 200 pounds. Since you already installed the back brace I am thinking you will just use it as is?

Very nice looking install.

 

[whatadeuce]

Oh yes , I will install the chinfall next. And I hope to get some real use out of this rig. Photos to follow soon...

1. You positioned your #7 wrecker hoist in place.
2. Trust me when I say you want that hoist as far back as possible-like where the base is literally touching the tailgate. It looks like it has a lot of reach now, but wait until you try to back up to something and pick it up.

 

[whatadeuce]

Hi Clinto, And I did install it almost right up to the end of the bed. I think I have about 3" left . Well, I do hope to be able to hoist a 803A generator with it.

I found that with on mine, with the base maybe 1/4" from the tailgate, I could pick up a deuce bed (perpendicular) and it would almost hang without touching the tailgate.

When I picked up a multifuel, if it was turned sideways it was fine, but as it started to rotate, the trans would hit the tailgate.


Man, if the hoist only had another foot it would be perfect.

 

[whatadeuce]

What are you talking about? Are you lifting entire trucks?

 

[whatadeuce]

Uh, Forget I asked that question He He, Of course I knew you were referring to engines and trannys.!

 

[cajun666]

Finish change out my brake line , only toke me 6 mths.

Yes I work to **** long and life kept getting in the way.

 

[Sumner]

Finally got around to getting my new cargo cover that I got from bbf put on. Sure makes the truck look sharp!
