I'm having a dilemma figuring this out, lol. I have a folding ladder I bought from a surplus retailer and it's meant for the tailgate, but since I already have a ladder for that, having a ladder that is either mounted to the bumper or having brackets with pins to quickly put on and remove the...

I appreciate your help gentlemen.

So I got a set of these lights that I intend to use as flood lights on my truck, but I'm not sure due to the the one piece connector, which I've not seen before. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Okay, so I figured out it's a spotlight that is wired...

It's possible you can have a small head gasket leak into the crankcase causing the blow-by. Could be caused by shrinkage so when the engine warms up the blow by stops, either the metal contracting and expanding or it's the gasket, but it's bound to happen on these older trucks especially with...

Right now anything is worth a look.

Truck looks awesome and glad to see it's still in duty!

Just the other day I finally got around to fixing my leak. The deuce was still leaking fuel from the IP. Come to find out it was the delivery valve cover bolt on the hh. It had a hairline crack in the mating surface so that's why it leaked and it was only getting worse. I had to hunt down...

I read this entire post. From my experience, air is a big problem in the fuel delivery system. I had a fuel filter that was sucking in air and had a ever so slightly leak due to a tiny little tear in that rubber seal. The truck didn't want to start and when it did it took forever and lots of...

Just shoot an email to the military surplus vehicle dealers like Tnj Murray and Memphis equipment. That's how I got mine. $15-25 for one plus shipping.

Welcome and nice rig! Fella from MI

Might be worth it to either find a deuce with a winch already or one that has all kinds of upgrades like air powered assist steering ect. If you do electric winches, rarely have I seen a 24v one, which be a good idea to install a 12 v alternator and a third battery if you run a heavy duty 12v winch.

I'm curious to see how these parts hold up since it's from a commercial auto parts store. Glad to see you put a battery disconnect in though, I have 2 installed on my deuce now, one on the dash and one under the seat (passenger). I had an indicator light, said it was 24v capable, but a cheap...

Definitely perfect timing, lol.

Perfect for Halloween, pictures of the beast at night during a good storm! Kinda has that creepiness to it, if you can see the body on the front....

Makes sense. These big machines need a good amount of space to maneuver and the lack of power steering makes the space you do have have more valuable.

Why not just use a water buffalo trailer or convert a cargo trailer over with a water tank? One tank on the truck and the other on the trailer....

Welcome to the site and I dig the truck bud! She looks different and I can admire that. Keep us posted as you tinker with it more, I'd love to see it when it's all finished and ready for duty!

That's so cool. One thing I've always wanted to see was the car Bonnie and Clyde drove and was all shot up in. I watched that movie "The Highway Men" a few weeks back and it was a fantastic flick, got interest peaked so I had to educate myself on some history.

I got some more stuff coming, since it's the first time in years I'll have Halloween off from work. I was never much of a Halloween (Michael Myers) movie fan, but since the 2018 release from John Carpenter, it's become one of my favorites. So my son asked me (I let him watch a couple YT video's...

You might be right, I forgot Bundy had a beetle...
