Very nice truck! That's definitely a rare model and if there was others out there, it's rare they turn up and in this good of shape. I've only seen one, one other time here on SS. I'd definitely like to see and learn more about it!

Yeah, I was determined to not see my favorite toy go up in flames, lol. The flame heater is definitely something imo, that needs to be deleted. I'd rather just use either even if I'm not supposed too instead of that. Definitely makes sense why the military didn't stick with it.

Yesterday I had a moment high on the pucker factor. My fuel line to the flame heater melted on the intake. How this happened, either the heat, age, or the collaboration of things. It ended causing a loss in power and my truck was surging. I could barely get it up to speed in third gear. I also...

Reviving an old thread, but some of this definitely rings true. I had one brake, front passenger side stick and it was grabbing hard. I had to work the pedal and the truck back and forth and it finally released. Gotta make sure the valves are clean so they work properly and too make sure your...

Nice! Trucks looked great!

Found out my deuce was aired on the local news! Pretty cool. I think they did a fantastic job doing a short coverage on Memorial day.

When my temp gauge went out, it was mostly the wires that was the problem. Very brittle and old. Had to re-wire the gauge to the sending unit. Even though I replaced the sending unit, gauge, and wires. Works now as it should and seems to be accurate thus far. I can tell when it runs hot, engine...

Thanks. It was scary for sure. Just glad I had that fire extinguisher!

Had the memorial day parade. It was great. All the kids had a blast. Fist time Walker ever had that many MV's. While the parade was good, afterwards on the way home was not. Had a front right brake get stuck, my diesel line for the flame heater melted on the intake and I had a fire. That was...

At least it was worth a shot.

What the other two fellas said, is pretty accurate. Depends on many factors, but from what I've found, condition and upgrades seem to be the deciding factor.

I had to use the Google machine and apparently I got polyurethane mixed up with laquer. From what I read, sanding and multi purpose stripper is what's recommended. I have used JASCO before to remove those black epoxy coatings off of some of my knives and it's nasty stuff, it made it easy getting...

If it's urethane, as in polyurethane, it should come off with some paint thinner or other chemicals of the like. Spray some thinner on there and then wipe it with a shop cloth and see if it comes right off. Usually that stuff will cling and gum up sand paper and stuff.

If anything, make an enjoyable road trip out of it. Stop and check some places out while out on the road.

Imo, it's not worth trying to restore the CARC paint, at least not if there's not a lot of paint peeling off or rust. It's old and we can't get it anyways. Hit it with a wire brush or other means to remove loose paint, clean it with soap and water to degrease it, re paint it. Lots of people will...

I can tell he sure enjoyed doing that! My oldest likes to start my truck too. I had to show him the routine for starting only a couple times and he does pretty good.

Welcome to the site! Lots of good info here and tons of cool diy and restoration threads. If you need help looking for something or questions, let us know.

I would definitely replace all the battery cables and the starter wires if they seem old and frayed or show any signs of corrosion. You're gonna want a voltage meter and then look up the trouble shooting in the TM's for your truck. It will walk you through the process. That's how I figured out...

Have you checked the TM's? There isn't one.

I've done that before on my jeep. The rims were on real good apparently. My front brakes were bad so they needed to be done. The time before my rims stuck and I spent a good while using a mallet to break them free. The next time I loosened all the lug nuts up front and left them about half way...
