Went to ACE and got some of the pipe insulation. Put it on the cab frame and bows. It did take up some slack and should help with any wear points. Decided to remove the bed sides. Each side is held on in the stakes by 2 bolts per side. I had enough grunt to pick it up and laid it down on the...

I will make it work

26.5 inches for mine

Thanks, I will look at that

Thank you! The canvas top that was on it had the grommet holes and they tied down fine to the rear anchors. This loop style top seems longer in the back.

The front of the Bow rod does have a washer to keep it from going to far into the hole. The back I can't remember but I think it is the same

Thanks!

Any idea what was involved in this field fix? This truck you can press the brake pedal and have brakes regardless if the air pressure is there. Also the pedal only moves an inch or so and you have brake pressure. My other Deuce the brakes only work when air is built up and you have to press a...

This is the right rear wheel. It's been leaking a while from the looks of the hub. I have never done a dual wheel before, so I need to source a Budds socket and big boy breaker bar.

Monday update: (Work PC lets me to pictures better) Power Washed and removed some of the graphics. Looks better clean :) Still trying to figure out why the top doesn't match up to the hold downs. The bows look right. I inserted a broom stick and it almost will go thru the hold down brackets.

Thank you for that info! The driver side has me worried since the glass hits the frame if you don't hold it just right.

Serviced the passenger window today. Works much better. Looked at the side rails and pried on them a bit to see if they will pop out of the stack holes. Seem rusted in so I sprayed some PB in. See if that works in a few days.

Your brother seems like a go getter for sure! Update: Replaced the Oil gauge and sender with a 120 mechanical gauge. Reads high 50-60 psi so I have peace of mind now. Removed most of the lettering with a heat gun. Still have to do the pin stripping. After a 10 mile road trip, the right rear...

I enlisted in 1988, made it to 1st Batt in Jan of 89 and did my time there until I got out in '92. Lots of fun, always busy! Paying the price now after all these years as my body is telling me enough is enough..

That is just 550 paracord that I used until I get some rope. Even with the thicker rope it won't pull down the top. I looked at the bows and all 3 seem to be the same shape.

Yes the in tank pump would be my worry also. Otherwise, your batteries will just die.

Forgot to ask, I have the soft cab. The loops at the bottom for the super cord are below the cab hooks. How does it tighten down? I stuck a 1/2" wood dowel thru the loops and in the cab hooks to help some for now.

Sounds fun! Can't wait to do it!

Evening update. I will try and remember to get the gopro out next time. Installed a boost gauge so I can see what it is doing since I bypassed the FDC. I didn't change the fuel screw yet. Right now at full throttle I am getting 8 to 9 PSI. I think this should be safe zone. Truck has more power...

Drat, noticed some coolant at the back corner of the engine bay cab heater. I guess my core is leaking :(
