I too found wrong, damaged, extra parts inside the front axle seals of my first truck. I recommend that you follow the TM and use your experience to sort it out. Lack of experience of the boys who worked on your rig is what I assume led to your situation. Rick

Removed for thread clarity. Rick

That was my first thought as well. Is there a history or reasoning for that color scheme? Rick

Brian, thank you for bringing your services onto this forum. At this time I do not have a need for your service, but in the future, when I do, I'll be sure to utilize your "widget"! Question: In your opinion, what is the impact of having a strict load out date on the price per mile? In my...

Thread resurrection! I am probably not the only forum participant to own both a Studebaker car and a few deuces built at the South Bend, Indiana plant. Does anyone have a more precise history of the production of the physical plant? That may be another way to look at the history of the deuce...

I suggest you wait and score a complete, 10k PTO winch kit from a fellow SS member. Installation would be straight forward and then you would own what is in my opinion the deuce trifecta: dropsides, winch and hardtop! Rick

Well done son! She looks complete, how's it drive? I'd be interested to know where you live and how you will use the truck. Nottingham is on the river Trent, correct? Are you country, urban or suburban? These trucks tend to turn owners into collectors. Do you have space for additional trailers...

What this group needs is a goobment big wig who happens to love OD and can make a phone call and thus bypass all the red tape. Surely somebody knows somebody who knows somebody..... Rick

What Tom said. If you tack weld it, you should be able to maintain a grip on the pin after welding. It should not be too hot to hold. In that case, you have not heated it sufficiently to affect the metallurgy. Rick

Sadly, I resemble that remark. I just try to make do and let the chips fall where they may. Thanks for your efforts and abilities in making this site function. I appreciate this site and use it as my "go to" information source. Rick

That sir, is a good looking truck! Hard top and dropsides. All you need now is a winch..... Semi kidding! Rick

I recall that I heard the dropsides comprised somewhere near 10% of the production. Hope that observation helps you in some way..... I rarely see ads for deuce beds any longer. Must be M939 and Humvee season. Rick

I could see the smoke from way over here. Rick

Caught you in the rear view mirror! Rick

I don't do Facebook and it can't be accessed anywho. Any chance of you importing the photos for us? Rick

It would be a worthy project to crowd source a purchase from WR and donate the truck to the OP. WIN for WR for a successful truck flip. WIN to the OP to re reunited with his rig WIN for this group to do what's right I don't know how to set it up, but I'd sure participate. Rick

Custom rat rod body? Or a trailer, as previously suggested. Rick

Beautiful truck! And I'm always in awe of anyone who has a collection of vehicles. It's like having a parts warehouse in house! Can you tell me: what is the box structure running over the cab and rear enclosure? Rick

I think he mentioned it was a dump. M54? Rick

Nice photo! you guys have some fun up there! Rick
