I am planning on removing my hard top tonight. Mine looks like swiss cheese so I am hoping I can salvage it. Thanks for the ideas on insulation and I like the light in there.
I was priming some parts and painting others, so for me it was a good choice. Plus if one gun plugs up it's easy to switch guns and keep going. I would just hate to have a gun full of paint ready to shoot and then have it plug up and have to tare it all down and clean it. They are cheap guns...
I went a little crazy to be honest. I sand blasted most of the bed followed by a da sander. Mine has several different layeres and colors of paint and brush strokes galore. But on other parts just a wire wheel, a flap wheeand a da sander. I also use the cheap HVLP sprayer from HF. I have 2...
I am in the process of painting my deuce with Rapco. I prepped it and primed it with Rusto rusty metal primer, the whole thing. The paint needs a good surface to bond to and what you will pay for a few rattle cans you can get a gallon and do a good portion of the whole truck. I painted mine...
These trucks were designed to be ran in some of the worst conditions known to man. I highly doubt you killed the motor with anyting in the tank. I would be cautious of dealing with anyone who says you did destroy the motor. Replace the filters and be on your way.
Now that you have the HH out what are you going to do with it? Most guys I know will go ahead and spend the money to just replace it. All that I have read says these parts can not be rebuilt. Pesonally I take that as a challenge. Here is my thinking (and again there will be plenty of you out...
On Saturday my Deuce died at my shop and it was suggested to me that my hydraulic head may be the problem. I spent the last few days reading threads on what to check and how to go about removing the head and I talked to Gimp about it. I will admit that at first the idea of diving into any part...
Can we have a PoofStock Redo so I can have my truck there? Or is there anyone who is good with photo shop that can at least put my truck in the group photo?
I have no idea who would ever do anything that stooopid.
On a completely unrelated note, I have the deuce inside the shop now, and a nice dent in my F350's tailgate, small price to pay. Played around with the hydraulic head a bit and figured out that is the problem for sure. Now I just have...
Poof and his smelly cheese. Couldn't get within 20' of him when he has that stuff. Not that you want to be that close to him normally, but really not when he has the cheese.
I would say earlier is always better. Last year as we were pulling out we had some late arivals. Plus it gives more time just to meet everyone and see who has done what to their trucks.
I know some of you fear the rain. However, let me assure you, we have Poof doing the hippie dippie antirain dance. It should work, or at least give us something to laugh at.
