Is there any chance that you might have a copy, (or be able to make me a copy of the template? I would be more than willing to pay you for your time and postage to send it. Thanks, Lenny
Thanks, VPW makes perfect sense now. Just curious does anyone know if there is a template of this plywood available if someone wanted to cut their own plywood? Lenny
My front seats are both worn. I would like to replace them both if costs permit. The passenger seat is just saggy and I can live with that but the drivers seat needs reupholstering. Also the plywood base underneath the drivers seat is partially rotted and needs to be replaced. If I absolutely...
So I wanted to get back to you guys as to how this worked out. My other boy came over and wanted to take a look at this situation before we tried any welding. He asked me for a brass drift and a small sledge hammer. Meanwhile figuring that he was just wasting his time I went into the shop to...
I have one other question about the welding. I'm not a welder. My experience with it just gets me by. I mentioned this thread to my son who has the mig and he was saying that it might be difficult to weld good tool steel to the remains of this plug. Something about the superior metal composition...
Great advice. Thanks a lot! I'm going to try it this coming week. Does anyone know if Chrysler used this type of plug on their civilian flat head sixes? I was wondering if I could get a replacement OEM type plug from a parts store. I think that variations of this engine were made for...
The thought of welding something, like the sawed off head of a hardened bolt for instance, did occur to me but I was a bit afraid of subjecting the bottom of the crankcase and the oil to that kind of heat. Also the bottom pf the truck is pretty greasy, especially the outside of the oil pan and I...
Hi Guys
I tried to drop the oil this morning just like I've been doing for the past 33 years. However this time I put the 1/2 inch drive into the drain plug and stripped it out. We tried using a cold chisel and a good sharp pair of vise grips on it. The cold chisel just sliced metal off the rim...
Hello to the group
This past Spring I removed the thermostat and used an acid based flush to clean out all the nasty stuff from my cooling system. The water was pretty rusty and dirty and it took awhile before it ran clear. I ran the truck a few days like this, flushed it again with water...
I have been reading though about how many guys have used a standard three terminal 24 volt electro mechanical flasher with good results. Napa lists an EG23 which also crosses to a Tridon and a few others. You just have to remove the old socket from the dead military unit and wire it onto the...
I got this truck a few months ago and I have never had any problems with the flashers until the other day. I don't know if it is related, but I'm constantly forgetting that theses flashers don't automatically cancel like my civilian vehicles do. So consequently I'll almost constantly forget...
Hopefully I'll see you there. My deuce (if it's ready for the trip) is
(poorly) painted in camo, The previous owner was a real hack, has a
winch, and also a tan soft top. I may also bring my PRC77 along for
the ride. Best regards, Lenny
I had intended to work on the truck today so I took it out for a short ride to get it warmed up so that I could do my testing. On the trip out I had one decent hill and the rest was downhill from there. When I arrived at my destination the gauge was reading just under 200F. On the trip back...
