It's in Fort Wayne. About 100 miles. I consider that "local" for me. Turbo multi, some rust, lots of mud, soft camo cab top. Sprag probably not working. Actually looks terrible. But the engine runs nice. Runs a lot smoother than my 1970 non-turbo. I wonder if the turbo has anything to do with...

Yes I have rocks in my head! But I am looking at another Deuce coming up on a local auction..... 1966 Kaiser-Jeep. Brakes are not working, but do pump-up a very small amount. I suspect that by adding brake fluid I could get it home 15-20 miles alright. There is no sticker saying silicone fluid...

Thanks Ace! That's what I figured, but didn't know for sure. Eric CBVET

Just picked up a new tan vinyl cargo cover kit. I was told it is for a 5 ton dropside. What would be the differences in that & a standard Deuce cargo cover? I guess it would be what, 2 feet longer? Is there a difference in the way the sides tie-down on a dropside? What I'm wondering is if it's...

Devilman, I'd sure like to hear about how this was done with parts from Lowes! Thanks, Eric CBVET

RE: More pictures. 1968 You're all very welcome. Thanks to you too. I wish I had more vehicle pictures to post, but back then they weren't of much interest. For those of us that served in the military these machines are part of our past, & we can relive it to some extent with these big green...

Our M332 ammo trailer has a rear pintle. We towed a pole trailer behind it with no problems. Eric CBVET

DUH! I knew that! Early onset alzheimers I guess............ Thanks, Eric CBVET

RE: Re: RE: Good ideas for screw extraction, please I've had good lock with the special left-hand drill bits sold by Sears. They come 3 sizes to a set. Eric CBVET

Now we're getting there. What about turn signals? Anyone know off hand which ones? I'm setting up my trailer, & all I need are tailights, stop, & turn signals. Eric

Can someone please post the diagram showing which socket/pin is which on the trailer plug on a Deuce? Or tell me where to find it? Thanks, Eric CBVET

Westech had it right! Pulled the wheels/drum. Everything wet with 90w, brake return spring disintegrated, wheel cylinder boots gone, pistons frozen. Shoes so swollen & saturated you could scrape lining off with a screwdriver. I've worked on vehicles for 45 years, but have never seen shoes...

Westech, I understand that part alright, but what about the brake pedal getting so much higher? It went fro 1.5" travel to .25 ". Eric

On our 1952 M35- Over the last 100 or so miles, all short trips, the brake pedal has been getting a little higher. It now has about 1/4" travel before brakes lock up. Any suggestions? It looks like I may have a leaking rear wheel cylinder, which I can rebuild, but I can't imagine what that would...

RE: Another picture That's 34052 paint from Aervoe. Went on easily without thinning. Used a cheap HVLP sprayer from Harbor Freight. Thanks for the compliments. Eric CBVET

Another picture Here's another picture with more of the markings showing. Frank - Do you really think it needs more? This is what happens when you give a Marine a few beers, a couple of crayons, & a round-nosed scissors, and say "Stencils? Make your own damn stencils!" Eric CBVET

To go along with my "Marine Deuce" picture, here's my buddy Rod again, with his Mite in 1963. Eric CBVET

Okay, now there's a picture.

This is our 1952 Studebaker M35 after painting it Marine Corps green. I know, I know, the markings are nothing like the originals. Rod, a former Marine, says "I don't care! I want everybody to know it's a MARINE truck". Eric CBVET

You guys came through again! Thanks, Eric CBVET
