. And use flat blocks of wood on your concrete to spread the weight. (cribbing)

. Got a couple of TM's that might help you a little. Not exactly what you have - but at least some wiring pictures to look at.

. Pretty cool mule. You aughta post a picture or two - just for history's sake. I remember going with my dad to pick up a 1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser down in the big city of Monroe. Seven miles on the odometer. Complete with a 455 Rocket to power it... And an 8-Track tape deck factory...

. Neat. Having an industrial sewing machine definitely gives you more options than most of us! And yeah, I'm sure you can find somewhere to spend money on your green / tan toys. :cool:

. Heated water and a pressure washer... And lots of time. I am sure there are better ways, but like on a shampoo bottle - Rinse, Lather, Repeat. Doing whatever you can to bend a piece of pipe on the pressure washer to hit every possible angle to attack and eventually flush the rust. Maybe a...

. If you have already verified the wiring path and checked for grounding issues as mentioned by others... I would guess that the SignalStat on the column (you mentioned the green blinking light) died. They either work or not. Could have been bounced down the highway enough to just fail...

. No CDL Requirement in North Carolina if you are not "hauling for profit". If you are using these trucks for personal use definitely no special license required (here). I do have a Class A that I got forty years ago when I drove an over the road tractor.

. It is interesting how insurance works. My vehicles are mine in my name. The insurance company wrote the policy as a commercial policy. In North Carolina that was the best way and best priced way to insure my stuff. Definitely worth asking your agent...

. The shield maybe but CTIS air is supplied through the axle so you have a choice of Lockout Hubs or CTIS. Can't have both (so far as I know).

. Welcome to the Outfit! You need to be careful! The green disease spreads - pretty quickly. Next thing you know, you will have some sort of other green vehicle to drag that trailer around. And then maybe a wrecker to haul that truck around... Happy to have you here and again, welcome to...

. I have never swapped out the old REO 330 (Golden Comet) with the LS, but we swapped about 50 of them with in-line 300 Ford Industrial Six's in a place I worked many years ago.

. Your VIN on the title and whatever insurance series of numbers need to be the same. There have been several articles here before where the two didn't match and insurance didn't want to pay because the vehicle wasn't insured. We all know it's BS, but insurance is already a scam. Don't make...

. Welcome to the Outfit! Now that you are part of the group, go ahead and download the Technical Manuals (TM's) for your truck. The "-10" is the owners manual where simple things like how to crank it the right way - without smoking your start box and glow plugs. There are other books that...

. Seven different colors available... Plus the Sending Units...

. Dawn dish soap and a few inches of water in the bottom of a WetVac works amazingly well. AND letting it sit outside in the sun for a few days helps ensure that they are like a roach motel - where the bugs check in - but they don't check out. A bee vac isnt the same as what you use to rescue...

. Lots of folks have suggested you may have a fuel problem. I would almost swear to it myself. There has to be an air leak. Somewhere in the return line.

. If you have the embossed letters on your tailgate - and a little time on your hands - paint the letters whatever color you have chosen. Several times. Don't be bashful... Three or four or five coats... Then paint the tailgate whatever color. Then let everything dry for a week or two. Then...

. Welcome to the Outfit! I have to agree with the guys... That seems like an awful good deal at $10k. Leaking fuel hoses is a regular thing for a truck that age. Especially one that sat outside in the heat for maybe a couple years. Time and hose and clamps should solve that problem but it...

. Thanks for having a Deuce and cool old guys that you can haul around

. So I went out in the shop. Got a pair of mine sitting in the screen room. Pictures attached. I purchased these when I left the company I worked for. We worked on the 5-Tons and Deuces at that place of business. Didn't really remember if they "were weighted" in pairs or not. So..... I...
