    Deuce Frame Repair

    I think I will go with jeepsinker's idea. Less welding and the brackets won't need to be moved anyway. Thanks for the replies. Mike

    I have searched the forum for a solution to my question but did not see and answer so I will ask it. I purchased a pipeline deuce 2 years ago and the fire department who owned it totally destroyed the bed so I decided to put a regular cargo bed on it. Now thinking that all deuce bed mounting...

    Wire rope replacement

    Thanks for the replies I will check the leads out. In regards to the wire vs. synthetic reply I already had a spool of new wire so I went with that option. Squirt-Truck, the screw in end I am speaking of is related to the chain end of the wire. I was given a 5 ton chain end which was unscrewed...

    Wire rope replacement

    I purchased an NOS winch for my Deuce which came with no wire rope. I purchased the wire rope but for the life of me I cannot source the winch line holder and chain clevis in my local area. I looked at the Esmet site but I cannot find what looks to be a wire line holder, am I just blind or do...

    M756A2 Purchase

    I will post photos of the truck once I get it. I do not want to over sell its condition prior to inspection. If someone is interested in it as a 756 and has a M35 they want to swap I might be open to this. I understand that members would like to keep this truck original and I respect those...

    M756A2 Purchase

    One of my many faults, according to my wife is that I do not get rid of anything. If I decide to not go the 756 route for sure, the bed will be taken off and stored. I will get some good photos of whats left of the bed and post them after I recover it. Mike

    M756A2 Purchase

    The main reasons for not returning this to its original condition are the cost to obtain the needed 756 parts, and my need for a cargo truck. I don't have alot of funds to throw at the truck so I am going to focus on mechanical and utilitarian aspects for my restore. Mike

    M756A2 Purchase

    The winches are missing they were traded to a farmer for a 10,000 gallon water tank that had been on the truck. Kind of excited to bring her back too bad it will be sonething other than a 756 configuration. Mike

    M756A2 Purchase

    I have made the plunge and purchased my first military vehicle. I picked up an ex-fire department M756 for a good price. The truck is complete with a very fancy wood top that was built to replace the canvas one. The bed appears to be 50-60% there but I will most likley go the cargo route since I...

    Perkins Powered Deuce

    Well I won the auction and the truck turns out to be a 1972 M756 with a Perkins diesel. I was wondering about the bed on the back since it appeared to be strange but with further photos I discovered that it had a wood floor and it appears most of the headache rack is there. Now all I need to do...
