Monster Man!
I can save you one trip under the Deuce!
There is a kit with long cables and new valves that allows you to drain the air tanks without crawling under the Deuce!
Do you want to guess where you can get one? <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_question.gif" alt="Question">
Yep, it is...

Great pictures! I would kill <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_dead.gif" alt="Dead"> to have a nice shop like yours!
If you keep a photo album of the restoration, it would be a great addition to Steel Soldiers! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_question.gif" alt="Question"> <img...

I still like my answer the best! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">
I think of them as "love handles"!
I just "love" crawling under my Deuce! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink"> <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_rotfl.gif" alt="ROTFL">

It is starting to sound like your idea of keeping the old switch in the glove box, might be a good idea!
Keep us posted on how well it works! Sure looks cool! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up">
Lee!
That's so us old farts can get out from underneath the beast, when we are done working on it! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink"><img src="speech/icon_speech_ugh.gif" border="0">

Diesels like to be warm! The radiator cover aka "winter front" is a very good idea!
There have been tests that show having the radiator covered, will make a big difference!
In artic conditions, the Military also uses a thick insulated hood blanket, and block heater, to keep the diesel...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! It will be good to have your experience here on the Forum! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool">
When you go to your profile page, down at the bottom there is a place to create a signature!
You can list your vehicles, where you are...
Opie!
It isn't too difficult to install the Military heater, but don't expect warm and toasty! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_nono.gif" alt="No-no">
The heater is marginal, and will keep you from freezing to death, but that is all! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumbs_dwn.gif" alt="Thumb...
JT!
See if you can find the information for John Winslow Sales, in North Carolina!
He did have some complete kits in the past!
Sorry that I don't have his contact info! Maybe someone else has it! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shrug.gif" alt="Shrug">

I took a look at you M-715 with the link!
That is is one sharp, tough, bestest looking truck that I've seen in awhile! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up"><img src="speech/icon_speech_yes.gif" border="0">
All the hard work that you put into it really shows...

Check our sponsor, Saturn Surplus!
They have them listed as take-offs, $500.00

No, the new formula WD-40 won't work as an engine start fluid! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_nono.gif" alt="No-no"><img src="speech/icon_speech_no.gif" border="0">
They changed the formula to comply with the stupid emissions standards! Only the old formula will work! <img...
LD!
What you have is the ether start conversion!
You can buy the canister at over the road truck parts dealers!
I've heard that the motor pool quit putting in the missing canister, cuz the grunts were using too much ether! They were blowing up the engines! <img...
Heads up time!
If you look at the 4th STICKY down from the top of the DEUCE section of the Forum, (yes, that is THIS section of the Forum), you will see that topic covered!
This topic has been covered so many times, that I made it a STICKY! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_reyes.gif"...
MM!
I resent the PM! Your complete user name doesn't appear at the top, when sending a PM!
I didn't notice the problem when I sent the first PM! I had to add the missing info to get it to you!
I'll have to see why this is happening! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shrug.gif" alt="Shrug">

Fine looking Deuce!
Looks like a hard top, heater, air shift, air ride seat, drop side (C), manifold heater(cold weather start), good paint, good tires and a cargo cover! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up"><img src="speech/icon_speech_yeah.gif" border="0">

Hang tough! If the truck is running, you might be ok!
Air shift is the more desireable than a sprag transfer case!
You can tell if it is air shift, by looking for a lever that is mounted on a bracket at the bottom edge off the dash!
It is used to engage the front axle using the...
MM!
The purpose of the manifold heater and the burning rag idea <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_question.gif" alt="Question">, is that it heats the air coming into the engine!
If you hold the switch on the dash while cranking the engine, it should start without too many revs!
