. Naw Tom, sad to say that those wheels aren't exclusive to Cali. The vehicles with them ride like they have four square wheels. Few times that I have been in one - you can even feel a pebble in the road...

. That is great news because I was dreading you doing that to the top. It would have been a tough job for sure! Nice to hear that something was work than it might have been!

. I'm not sure where to offer for a place to capture the "gunk" but if you have a pressure washer and a water hose from the bottom of your water heater - you could be clean in fairly short order. The best offer I have is several bags of floor dry under the axle. That would soak up the nasty...

That back panel looks really sharp! Lots of good welding there :) I was just thinking how much more time and effort the top will be. Best on your quest to be warm and dry!

. Yes Sir - or maybe - No Sir! The Army Reserve units that deliver water buffalo's to Scouting district events were always delivered with a Deuce. A standard Buffalo M-149 is 400 gallons coming up to about 3200 pounds of water plus trailer and will definitely push around anything smaller...

. Sad but somewhat true for a lot of M-9xx Series trucks. Almost wonder if back in the olden days if a woodstove would have been possible. :-( Sweet smell in my past experiences have turned out to be a leak of some sort. Spending time and effort though... Sealing every hole in the...

. Does that include the bracket, mounting hardware , etc - and what about the advertizing discount? :cool:

. Yeah. That is pretty much the entire problem with this country lately. SUBMIT to the government. Seems like a problem even without big green truck paperwork problems. It seems that no matter what, everything that is happening gets blamed on the WooFlu. At some point in time people and...

. Heck of a plan! Using the pipe insulation to take up some of the slack in your cover really is neat. AND it stops the potential for a rub spot in the canvas. Nice. That is definitely thinking outside of the box for sure.

. That's really nice. Especially since you have a truck with a crane on the back - where you can pick up stuff and load it on the trailer. Definitely nice.

. Wow! What an adventure... No complaints from us below the border where it was a balmy 74 yesterday.

Everything considered, it worked out really well. Truck is still in good shape. Nobody got flattened. Police didn't have to run after him on foot... The driver needs to be given a sledge hammer and a block of granite. Make a big rock in to pea gravel - then repeat several times. Then he...

. Yes Sir! In the summer it makes a LOT of difference when the hot water is turned off. AND if you don't have an add-on fan in the truck -- you can use your heater blower to stir the air in the cab without the water being on. Worked great in the days of driving a school bus. Sitting at a...

. I have a set of ribs in my storage trailer - but they are for a 5-Ton - and I think they are different than a Deuce. Maybe just for S&G's I can measure mine so you can compare to yours. I should be able to do that later this afternoon.

. I keep coming back to that picture of the ribs that hold your top up... I wonder if you have some sort of home-made ribs - OR - maybe you have some from a Deuce on a 5-Ton or the other way around. Just looking without any real way to judge depth, I swear mine have a more pronounced bend at...

. Ugga Duggas require you to wear a ball cap when not in uniform. About five or six is enough - except for lug nuts. :)

. Nice! New Guts but it looks almost like the original. :cool:

. Under the door... Rocker Panel... I saw a thread somewhere here recently about making those repairs. Sheet metal bent to shape, then welded. Not something I know how to do but the thread was really interesting.

. They were similar but definitely different. The REO for example had "top loader" axles while the International looked a lot like what you have where the hogs head was loadedin from the front of the axle. The GMC (we only had three of them) was different too and all three had different...

. It may very well be a M135 or the M211. Hate to admit the only identifying thing I see on the axles is that pillar block - and I'm definitely not claiming all lnowledge of old trucks. Might be that the GMC is that way as well... What was SO neat about the international was that there were...
