    dropside - side rack and troopseat question

    Is there a difference in the sideracks and troopseats between a regular and a dropside bed? Are they interchangeable between those beds?

    Took the plunge!! 1974 AMG M35A2w/w coming up

    After over three years of lurking, reading, learning and keeping on top of what is for sale where I finally pulled the trigger. It ain't home, yet and I will need your help shortly with some recovery planning. For the time being I am just looking for a way to wipe the ear-to-ear grin off my...

    Commonwealth of Virginia - trip permit question

    I need to bring a Deuce up from Virginia. I have insurance for it. Many states have one form or other of temporary registration or trip permits that allow a motor vehicle to be removed from the state after a sale. I could no find coherent information about Viginia, other than a three day permit...

    Deuce Games

    One good exercise is to have a corner element made of two or four sheets of plywood (standing up). Mark a short length of lane and put the "corner" at the end, simulating a building, loading dock etc. The objective is to back the truck into the "corner" as closely as one dares without hitting...

    And the project has started

    I am curious - so please do not take offence: To me, a dump truck is one of the most useful MVs imaginable. If it is an original dump truck, it is even sweeter. What is the reasoning behind ripping the dump bed off (probably removing the cylinders, PTO etc. as well?) and "dumbing" the truck...

    Good Pickup at Little Rock

    For a second, I thought that your Deuce was a camouflaged combat vehicle...way cool...until I realised that the interior shot is not from the Deuce box, but from the LAV!

    Deal of a lifetime on a deuce

    Geez, guys, really. I was all pumped up about buying my first Deuce and almost hit the BuyItNow button and you come up with all these comments. Now I am a shaking wreck, not knowing what to do. Sure an 8-cylinder Multi must be better than the standard 6 that all you guys have? You jealous, or...

    Cruise Control and Recovery

    I do not know what else to do as a tall person on long trips in a cramped cab. Although not on a Deuce, I have used this method often on other trucks. I would say that it is inherently dangerous - but with many things that are potentially dangerous, if one is mindful and pushes the throttle in...

    OD iron rim?

    devilman96 devilman 96: It is refreshing to read a level-headed and honest response. All the info is on the table for everyone to make an informed decision.

    Diesel exhaust color meaning?

    Shades of black relate to the fuel quantity injected in relationship to the air available for combustion. In the absence of computer controls with a "mapped" diagram for fuel injection, it is easy to achieve a mixture that is a bit too rich, for example WOT under full load. Black is basically...

    Have you ever had your tank dipped?

    Recovry4x4 - so true. I did a bit of self-reflection and admit that this is very much what I do when I am out there. Many infractions I encounter are minor and I tend to be more lenient with people that are straight and honest (as opposed to fake) and I certainly follow "the book" when...

    crane truck in flood for sale

    The following are just educated guesses, nothing more. When you drive a vehicle through water, the moving parts, such as hubs etc. are warm from the drive and then get cooled by the water. Because all these assemblies also contain air, the cooling and "shrinking" of the air leads to water being...

    Change short coolant hoses on top of engine- advice needed

    Ahm, no, that is merely the wisdom that comes with a certain age! :wink:

    Pickins Gettin Slim on GL

    Folks, you fail to see the OPPORTUNITIES that arise from reduced military spending! PM the Deuces and, when the time comes, contract them back to the military! Save the money and buy more Deuces afterwards. Ok, yes, I am joking...but only partially. This very same situation is currently going...

    Why fuel gauge may not work

    You might be a Redneck if...you have a pingpong ball duct taped to you fuel sending float!

    M530C to Cargo

    Nice job with the painting. The sheet metal looks good and the paint is coming out well. You can, of course, do whatever you want; it is your truck. I, too, believe that you have a rather rare truck that is made even rarer by its completeness and good condition. Whoever had it last did not even...
