Matt Handley (vintage iron) is about an hour east Woodsocket, out in Falmouth, MA. He might be able to give you a hand on looking it over. Rick

Wow! The split rear window in back and the one piece curved glass up front gives me serious wood. As they say in the San Fernando valley: Van Nuys! So, you gonna pony up? Rick

Hey you guys, I don't own a single gasser, but I' do have the distinction of being both old and having some memory left. I recall that setting the points was done after adjusting the valves, but before setting the timing, idle speed and idle mixture. Further, setting the point gap was done...

Ty, Is this the same deuce that you fit with a wet kit and dump bed? Either way, please leave the post here. I'm always appreciative of the work you put into your rigs, and the generosity you provide by posting. Your contributions make this forum a valuable resource for many. Maybe a...

My experience is that the tropic kit may be useful, especially if you are running it loaded over hilly terrain at low speeds. I had a 404 for a while, and found that if I kept it well tuned and running light, I was Ok. If I ran it loaded the cooling system was almost insufficient. Welcome to...

With the skates under the corners, a steel base, and some snatch blocks, I guess your deuce winch didn't strain all that much. Still, that is a heckofa pull! It's good to see the deuce at work! Rick

Two lamps at 10 watts each, operating on 24 volts should be about 3.5 amps flowing through the switch, wiring it as you did. Rick

Howdy from 10* latitude. There's plenty of info for you to peruse hear on the M1078. Have a look and best wishes to you! Rick

That should be a nice truck by the time you get it home. Cheers Kenny, Rick

I'll second the opinion that tuning by the gauges is the way to go. How you use your truck and the terrain you operate in are additional factors in how long you can expect to hold acceleration. I set mine up to be able to pull the longest hill in my area, with the EGT's maxing at 1300*. All...

Ah, finding OD for give-away-prices. If I could find a few of them, my shop would be as full as yours! congratulations and thank you for posting the recovery! Rick

Awesome piece of history! Thanks for posting. I'm wondering if those are repair welds visible on the jugs. It didn't look like decorations or normal cast marks. Rick

Hydraulic Power Steering

I think we were promised a loading video. Ty. Rick

Hey guys, I'm needing a few examples of the track pads for the M99A2 or the M109A6. New, used, whatever I can get my hands on. I intend to send samples to StarPoint Extrusions for mold production. I spoke briefly with the owner of StarPoint today. He is highly competent in the area of...

If the planetaries are a Rockwell item, it may be possible to get build data from Rockwell/Meritor. I called them regarding an axle under an old fire truck and received some good information on bearings and seal sizes. https://www.meritor.com/Contact/default.aspx If the planetaries were fitted...

Why not repair your fiberglass top? Rick

Welcome aboard! Good looking truck you have there, do you happen to know it's history? I spend the summer months in Marion, just east of Fall River. I'd be happy to meet up with you and swap deuce stories and resources. I'll also vouch for Matt (Vintage iron) as a tremendous resource for your...

No sir. I'm sure you will find an experienced exporter to help you out of your assumption dilemma. The truck is surely classified by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) with a favorable ECCN number. You just need some to help you sort it out. Here is a copy of the document you need, using...

Have you driven other deuces for comparison? They are a slow moving herd, sometimes requiring an expectation adjustment for some folk. Rick
