Good Deal!! Congratulations on a smooth unload. Like you said, exceptional for your first time driving a Deuce. There are some who are born to drive - and there are others who should not be allowed to sit in the left seat.
Happy that you "done good".

That sounds like a reasonable number considering the current market. Biggest plus would be the lack of rust. You might take a refrigerator magnet with you. Down behind the front wheels is one of the worst places for rust - and even though bondo isn't a death nail - knowing that it may have...

Like @TOBASH mentioned, there are lots of threads about flashers. There is a difference between LED and Incandescent flashers too. Grounds need to be chased in the wiring and that little ground bar on the back of the tail lights is important too.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think there are brake shoes that aren't asbestos. Okay, well maybe ceramic on passenger cars. The big thing is to be smart. Wear a mask that fits snugly around your pie hole and wet down the shoes and drum with brake parts cleaner. Don't be a big dummy and...

Same with shampoo and conditioner and all the other things that are packaged in plastic bottles. Had a friend of mine who worked for a company called WePak here in the big city... 55 gallon drums into 16 ounce bottles is their business. You can buy the $10 bottle or the $1 bottle and the...

Going rate presently is one arm and one leg.
Hard to find one that has doors and a roof at the moment but maybe new stuff will show up on the next auction. On the bright side, I know of a young man who is making the final adjustments to his and in about a month is will be available from an...

Back in the 1980's I drove an Astro95 (twin screw) with air assist stearing. It was a dream to drive and if you had to back into a "crank it around the corner" backing into a loading dock. It had an extra pair of tanks up behind the 5th Wheel platform so it never ran out of air either.

Wow. I guess having a pair (or two or three) sets of coveralls in a zip-lock bag just in case you ever need to get back in the cab of your MV.
The question that I always have is - WHY drivers don't stop - rather than keep churning and burning until the axles are sitting on the ground or...

For liability reasons - you might want to spend the bucks to buy a "factory" unmodified tow bar.
AND buy and use the chains that need to be attached on the towing truck and recovered vehicle...

Pretty amazing that they even rolled from their yard to yours for a single dead president.
I love the chrome and flashing lights and strobes and gold metal flake and pinstripes, but I don't think they even crank their rotators - much less engaging the PTO on our local large wreckers for...

Find a local "joint and clutch" company in your area. There are folks in places like that who balance driveshafts for a living. If you have a M107X or 108X Stewart and Stevenson truck, that will be one of the cheapest investments you will ever make in yourself and your new-to-you truck. No...
