All you need for the tire carries is a cable (1/4"?) and a plate with two holes to fit two bolts in the lug holes. You're missing the pioneer tool rack, which should be easy to find with the tools. And good deals on covers pop up often. Nice truck, is it a turbo?

You can also be more versatile by getting additional pulleys and straps to have a change of direction while still winding your spool in a straight line. You can use a large tree or another truck to attach a pulley when you can't line up your winch to the truck being pulled. Of course your...

What did you do, beat up PeeWee Herman and take his bike?? :p

Quick, before they see you, search insurance and new deuce owner on this site. It's not well recieved here when you ask questions that easily be answered by a simple search. You shouldn't need a CDL for a deuce since it's under 26K GVW. Do some quick reading before you pick it up, Just do a...

They had the manual sitting right next to the trucks for reference. As part of the training some newer tires were being put on to replace some worn ones. These guys are doing it right.

Well I had a good experience with Bob and his group so I thought I'd give this thread a bump. These guys put together a search and rescue group from members of their church and a grant from their national church group. They have a couple of nice deuces and trailers and some nice equipment...

It's nice to see an MV set up right for firefighting. Just make sure all your guys are well trained on driving that rig.

As you describe it, never. I would never try to shift from low range to high while moving, I don't think it's made to do that. First gear high range is low enough to get you moving. And 5K in the bed is the max. capacity for off road, you can go 10K on the highway. Empty, I often would start...

Heath, this is one of those trucks you DON'T want to part out!! Plain deuces are a dime a dozen, this is a rare truck. I'd buy it cheap and then make a little money from a collector. Then you can buy what you want.

My reasoning for liking duals is that I think the singles that Deuce1209 has on his truck look odd to me. I do like the look of the Super Singles or HEMMT tires, but stock singles just look anemic to me. And the fact that if you do get a flat with duals, you can drive further to a good spot to...

Bumper numbers don't really mean a thing except to the unit the truck belonged to, they were the ONLY ones that used that number. If the truck was reassigned to a different unit, it got whatever number the new unit assigned to it.

If you have an auto scrap yard or salvage yard near you, maybe you could see if you can get parts from a junk roll off or small dumpster truck to build your project with. BTW, that 1,000 gal. tank is most likely going to overload your deuce, especially if it's not baffled.

I like the double shackles!

If you're only a block away, you could've got a couple of homeless guys to push it for a 12 pack of Natty light!

Uh, so what was the purpose of tearing down a well built shop??:-?

:funny:

Well with all the Yuppie wannabe's hows about HUMR WHO (?).

Kinda pointless without ballistic glass doncha think?

Now that you've run the line out, it wouldn't take that much to add on a filter to keep the water out of your tools.

Well I think at the least I'll add some rubber hose over the cable at the clamps so it doesn't bind or wear. I don't think the clamps are small enough to hold on to that cable.
