Welcome to the crew! Cheers from BFE, WA Spoon

Hello all, Some more tinkering the other day. One of the batteries needs replace. I swapped out some of the terminals for the kind with wing nuts. A community member was clearing near the truck and discovered 3 more tires and wheels… On a separate vehicle, my dd she had a critical failure...

Awesome! Thank you, 🥄

Greetings all, Spent some quality time with the deuce this afternoon. Worked on the batteries and connections. One of the old batteries is definitely toast and doesn’t want to hold a charge. I have a couple of spare batteries that may work. Yay, more things. I messed with the fuel bleed nut...

Good afternoon all, It just dawned on me that it makes more sense to get the deuce running and home before digging into the spin ons and other stuff I have planned. It’ll be infinitely easier when I’m near my shop rather than toting my tools across the island. Plus the brigade wants her gone...

Hello all, More progress today. Brought my tools to the truck and found a couple of T30s I’d missed. It’s mighty cold here today, in the 20s (cold for PNW) Looks like I won’t have to take off the outer board! Dowsed the tank top screws and bolts with my trusty PB. The wiring looks a tad...

Welcome from just across the border! Cheers, 🥄

Good evening all, Finally had all the tools and willingness to work on the deuce today! I’m waiting to do the in-line pump. A friend pointed out that I could take off some of the decking on the bed to access the lift pump. I had some tunnel vision going about taking the bed off. A few 3/4”...

Greetings from BFE, WA!

Hello all, The water tank came off today! My other half gave me the perfect hood ornament. I’ve got an in-line fuel pump coming. Fingers crossed she runs after that. I will do the spin-on fuel filters when I crack the line. There were some boxes in the cab. I had a look. They are cases of...

Greetings! I just purchased your setup. Pics to follow. Cheers, 🥄

Thank you very much! I’ve seen 5-9psi, is that accurate? For the bypass just a one way check valve to the fuel return line? Cheers, 🥄

Hello all, I’m considering using an in-line fuel pump instead of the lift pump. Those of you that have done that how were the results? I’ve been using the search feature on this site and usually am able to find stuff, but this time I feel like my brows have thickened. My mentor has a backhoe...

Checked in on the deuce the other day. Someone helped tarp the bed. I checked on the tank plumbing to determine removal strategy. It’ll be a sawzall and the backhoe. I cracked the valves and drained the tank. I’m in the big city for a week. The tank will come off hopefully next week! Cheers...

Hi all, I added a stack cover (cut 2 ltr bottle), got spin on conversion for oil and fuel. Had great service from jatonka! Added 1.5g fuel and ordered another 5 gallons from the Thursday boat. I’m still recovering from back surgery and not able to wrench or crawl under the deuce. A friend has...

Worthy of being “bestest truck evar!” 🤪

Hey all, Made it home last Friday. The flight was unpleasant due to getting in and bumps. I was laid up for a couple of days. Visited the deuce and made sure her tarp was situated. I took a few more pictures. I just ordered the 3 spin on filter kits. Will probably order the soft brake lines...

And a trip to BFE, WA… I’ve got whitewash. ;) Not that much of a windfall… No idea about what bed combo I’ll wind up with. Totally depends on $$ and what I can swing. Her immediate future is just a flatbed and probably no bed for a while. Cheers, Spoon

Good morning all, I had a $$ windfall! Looks like some payment on credit cards and spin on conversions for oil and fuel! I’m still not home yet, but hoping to head home later this week! I’m super excited to get home. My lifting and flexibility are quite impacted, but I may be able to Tom...

OMG!!! The possibilities are limitless! Grapple boom/dangle head… :) If only vast amounts of $$$ and a massive shop for switching attachments. I’m drifting into mechanical porn while I’m recovering from surgery… Cheers, Spoon
