    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    Haven't driven the truck a whole lot since getting it, been gathering parts and waiting to go through all the brakes and bearings first. Have a new master cylinder, rebuild kit for the air pack, new hoses and lines, etc. Probably going to start tearing through stuff soon. Fuel lift pump quit...

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    Yup! That's what I've seen talked about on here. I do run used motor through my 12 valve cummins truck, which gets processed through a filtration setup. (multiple levels of filters down to 1 micron, however no centrifuge.) There's debate on whether the "carbon black" is harmful to those...

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    So, didn't get a super early start, went down to the guy's place after lunch. Loaded the truck with supplies. There it is. Brought my dad along for assistance, not sure if he knew what he was getting into... First order of business was checking the brake fluid level. It was about...

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    I believe that it's a 1970 AM General truck with an updated engine, so unfortunately no dual circuit brakes. Hopefully try to get down there and work on it this weekend. Already ordered some spare brake lines, a parking brake cable, and a couple wheel cylinders to have on hand just in case...

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    Will definitely get pics! Probably going to be a week or two until I can get down there to transfer title and work on it. The low pressure buzzer works, air pressure was getting up to 120 if I remember right. First things I'm going to do are check the brake fluid condition and level, check...

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    Appreciate the advice! Talked to the guy and we made a deal, so now the fun/pain begins. :mrgreen: Got about a 75 mile drive to get it back home, so will definitely be going through the brake system before that. The seller is cool with doing some wrenching on it while still in his yard...

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    Was looking at a truck today, would appreciate your opinions. 1970, Hercules turbo engine, no winch, soft top, air shift t-case, fold down bed sides. It has some rust, there's a few spots where it's through in places, but nothing I would consider terrible. Frame and most underbody looks...
