I was thinking about the same issue of removing the bed without a lift device. My thought was to block up the bed up using concrete blocks and tightly wedge the top. Then let enough air out of the tires to drop the frame a couple inches and pull the truck forward. "Should" work", provided it's...

You can get a one day tag and call your insurance and be on the way provided the Deuce is in good running order. I'm about an hour away and if you want a hook to tow it, there is a service here that will do it. It's gonna cost though. Let me know and I'll give you his number, if he can't do it...

There's old numbers but I can't make them out. "rneely" do you know how long the wooden sticks are that support the bows? I have a set but I don't know if they are the right size for the Deuce.

I hate computers and they hate me back, and this is what they do............they attached the second go around.

Here they are

Can you identify these tops? I think the third one (c) is for the Deuce.

Any issues with the automatic water drains? I really would like to install them.

I have the new style and there's no bolt. Guess I can undo the hose and squirt a little in it every six months or so.

Took the AP off and went through it again. Last time I did it, I didn't take out the control valve since I was unsure how it went back together. After reading several threads and finding a drawing of the internals I took it apart. Actually it was frozen in position and I had to force it loose...

I must have the new style since there's no oil plug in the end and it looks shorter than others I've seen in photos. Are the rebuild kits the same?

I'm going have to pull the Air Pack again. Just looked through it last week and everything looked good except the walls on the wet piston which I polished before reassembly. One thing I didn't do is take out the control valve seals as I understand the TM is wrong and I thought I'd try the Air...

Salt water is havoc on electrical systems. I'm just learning the Deuce but a good test light should run down the problem fairly quick. I would have the batteries tested first and fully charged when you start. If salt water enters a cell in the battery then it will draw down the other cells very...

I have the short one.....crap!

Sounds right. Can you get parts to only rebuild the hydraulic piston part? The large piston and seal look new and appear to be in perfect condition. Also, I have read on some of the search material that there is a valve within the AP that controls it. When I took it apart, I noticed evidence...

OK, I've set all the brakes up and the pedal is firm from the top. I still can't stop the truck without standing on the brake with both feet. Crap! Not sure what to do now.

On the air pack I just cleaned it up a bit and honed the walls. I didn't see any damage to the cups and I feel they are OK. It also appeared the large piston was moving but I agree with the brakes not being adjusted there is too little fluid being moved to push the shoes firmly into the drums...

Just good form.

After a clean up with the air pack everything looks pretty good. The valve was free and seems to work. After reinstalling the air pack and bleeding it I'm still in the same boat. The first push on the brake pedal and its like no or very little brakes (maybe no air pack assist). When I "pump" the...

Thanks for the reply. I agree and think it's a combo of problems mostly due to lack of service. I think, like you said, the brakes need to be adjusted. I also removed the air pack today and found fluid in the air space so it must be leaking in the piston area. Upon removal of the piston I...

I must add it seems there is no help from the air pack and it would take both feet to stop the truck.
