The IP is probably okay because you are getting fuel. The engine just bogs down when you rev it up, because it is starved for fuel supply. However, the old fuel isn't helping things. Drain the tank, replace with new fuel, and filters, and I'd bet it will run like a stuck pig.
Mmmmmm....pig roast.....
Looks like you guys had a good time as well! Even when you can't afford to go to a rally, you go to a rally! Just smaller... [thumbzup]
I'd guess filters. However, one of my deuces I bought had a crimped front fuel line, the one that goes from the primary filter under the radiator to the left side of the engine to the secondaries. The copper line had a big crunch in it, maybe from a forklift, who knows. I just cut it out and...
Got a call the other day from a buddy I know who bought a whole lot of military pickups, most of them CUCVs. There was one lone M715 in there, and after talking with him, he's going to save it for me until I can buy it to turn it into an offroad trail truck. Solid body, no engine, typical...
Love it! Chain link fence posts - I should've saved some money when I installed my convoy light poles and done it this way....
Doing more with less! Pretty soon, since we all have been doing so much, for so long, with so little, we'll soon be qualified to do anything with nothing!
According to Cabell, no trails need to be cut - there have been crews working all winter and spring on it, and they are DONE! All we needs to do is get some more guys with green trucks up there to use the trails!
What do you have in mind for the axle replacements? The stock Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rears are pretty beefy already.... I guess you could always go Dana 70 front and Dana 80 rear. ;)
The 11.00x16 XL tires look great on it, did you give it any lift or is that the stock height? Looks like...
BTW - it's a shame the original bed is gone, and the frame from the M10/M332 ammo trailer is gone as well. However, I've seen someone use a M332 bed for a bobbed deuce bed, it looked pretty neat. Might be able to save that here as well....
Wish I was so lucky to live near a fire dept. that had older stuff. All the FDs around here got 1990s and later equipment. Even the brush trucks are late model Chevy trucks.
Save what you can! I'm sure the other guys here can use the parts....
Good Lord, where is everyone? I remember 2009 and 2010, that lower field was wall to wall green iron. I haven't seen it that sparse since 2007...
I fear rising fuel prices and the crappy economy are to blame, it's affecting all the other car shows as well.
Well, if I can say so myself - I...
