Edited...I see you already figured out replacements...

Welcome back to the madness from another fellow Michigander! Good looking Deuce!

Agreed! Got lucky on this one.

Removed the hard line to the rear brakes. There was too much vibration/movement of the hard line at the rear-most retaining clip to the frame over the years and she finally wore a small hole in the line at the rear edge of the clip. Obvious design/installation weak point now that I look at...

Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, farm life seems to really agree with her. Hard, honest work and she looks good doing it ;) The kids at the local gravel yard that run the front end loaders get all excited whenever she or her big sister show up for a couple yards of gravel. Takes me at least five times as long...

The old girl helped yank some decent-sized rocks out of the fields that had finally become exposed enough to start playing havoc with the equipment... And she also hauled the last few yards of crushed concrete to finish repairing a wash-out in the lane. So many heavy rainfalls this summer...

Welcome from a fellow Michigander! What part of the state are you in?

Welcome to the MV madness from a fellow Michigander!

Thanks! She's coming along little by little. She's been a really fun truck to work and wrench on and is a blast to drive.

Did a few things last weekend... Converted over to spin-on oil filters. Thanks to member @tie6044 who sells an excellent adapter kit. ~2 seconds to build pressure now. Outstanding! Money well spent for improved piece of mind and easier filter changes. Painted the tow shackles and the...

Now, yes, your compressor could be going or it may just need to be run more. I would suggest you first drive it and then drive it some more and then see if you still get any residue other than water when you drain the tanks before you start swapping parts out, etc. Get everything good and hot...

Simple...add up how much you already have into your truck, the initial purchase along with all the rework, repairs and upgrades you have done to it. That's the true "replacement value" of the truck. One for one. What it would cost you to duplicate the truck. Then do a reality check on...

Thanks. Yeah, I definitely went all-in on her to the slight expense of my 5-ton TBH. The Deuce needed a lot of my attention. But my big girl has been very understanding about it I must say. I'm already rectifying my neglect this spring and giving my 5-ton some good TLC. Guess I owe everyone...

Thank you. She's coming along nicely. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Thank you. I debated back and forth internally for awhile about what color to go with. Glad I decided as I did. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Hey everyone! Sorry. I have owed you all an update for a VERY long time... I've had a busy 9 months with my "new" REO. A big list and not everything is here but I will hit some selected high-lights: -Scrubbed , scrubbed, scrubbed dirt, sand, lichens...whatever was all over her!!! -Complete...

Got a picture of the back of the panel? There looks to be a couple of screws not associated with gauge or light brackets. Curious as to what they are holding in place...at the upper and lower-left positions from the upper-left gauge (can't tell what gauge through the lens...). Are there marks...

That looks like an M38 dash panel with an air pressure gauge hacked into the space below the speedo normally occupied by the high beam indicator light.
