    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Floridianson, I like your vehicle cover, I'm planning on installing one asap to cover my Deuce, as the sun here oxidizes the paint in short order. I'm going to repaint the truck this spring and would like to keep it looking nice for awhile. Floridianson who manufactured your cover?

    unit markings m275a2, 2 1/2 ton tractor

    Thanks NDT for that info. This truck needs a little TLC but overall it isn't in too bad a shape. It has an LD-465-1 non-turbo engine and is clean under the hood. It's pretty much a standard 1970s truck. BTW, Have A Happy New Year!!

    Mike I'll see what I can do to get out your way and lend a hand after 1st of the year. Hopefully you don't have anything more than a bad head gasket. Are you thinking about pulling both heads? After having all that coolant in the oil, it might be nice to get a look at all 8 cylinder liners and...
