Tough choice. I would pick the Barrett.

I totally agree with removing the box. Who would want something leaky on a Deuce? 😂 I found these Sterelite brand storage totes that fit pretty nicely under the troop seats and between the braces. I used some bungee cords to stop them from sliding. They are working well so far. I've had them...

Thanks, Tim! I downloaded the TM. Looks clear as mud 😂. I will study up, and probably give er a go one day soon. Too many projects, never enough time...

Nice work! I love that camo pattern. My Deuce is faded OD green. I've thought about changing it to camo, but I have no idea of how to create a pattern. I've seen some really bad "shade tree" camo jobs and I don't want that on my truck. Glad to hear another good review of Rapco.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! That truck looks tough. Please do post some more pictures when you can.

I'm sorry to hear of Frank's passing. Thank you, @simp5782 for sharing the info. I noticed the "Joke of the day" has been sort of quiet for some time. I didn't get to meet Frank, but I could tell from his posts that he was a good soul. When he mentioned his frog buddy, Melvin, he always seemed...

I have a spare stock alternator core from when I swapped mine to a Delco clone. I would give it to you but shipping cost would be insane.

On the subject of fire extinguishers, it might have already been mentioned, but periodically you should take your extinguisher out, turn it upside down, and shake it really well. The powder inside will settle and clump up. I shake mine monthly on the first. Probably overkill, but it's easy to...

I've never seen one. I was aware that they exist. That one looks to be in excellent shape. Are all of the tools functional? Do you use it as a shop? Thanks for sharing!

Glad you were able to get the fire put out. Mine was dripping before I removed it. I can tolerate a small oil leak, but leaking fuel is no good. Living in the south, I doubt it will ever get cold enough to need the flame heater anyway. My truck starts the same at 30 degrees as it does at 80...

I wasn't aware of the "remote storage" part either. I just haven't used it because they are too pushy with the "install now", and I am stubborn and a bit rebellious 😁.

I reported it and PM'd patracy.

I thought it was behind the distributor 😁. ABurgos, if you scroll up on this page, your question was already answered.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! There is lots to learn here for sure. Anything specific that you're interested in?

Thanks, guys that puts things into perspective. As I said, I'm in no hurry to replace my multi as long as it's running strong (or is rebuildable). If that day comes I want to make an informed decision. From what I gather, an increase in power even a substantial increase should work fine as long...

I've been reading several posts, old and new, on the subject of engine swaps for our Deuces. I'm curious about long-term effects of increased horsepower and torque on the original drivetrain. How are your trucks holding up? Are the original brakes adequate to stop one of these at higher speeds...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! That is a fine looking truck. I really like the look of the larger tires.

That is a cool truck! She just needs some love. Congratulations!

I love a story with a happy ending. I've been following your thread, thanks for sharing your experience. This is an excellent reason to have more than one Deuce (or an excuse for anyone who needs one).

Sure is a funny looking Deuce.
