Pictures of the new Deuce

[mhatfield]

So I finally convinced the daughter unit to snap some photos of the Deuce I recently purchased. It's a 1967 Kaiser Jeep M35A2, with the Hercules Multi-Fuel, D- Turbo, Air lock front. I am already 1000 miles of roadtime and 800 bucks in PM into the experience, and loving every second. Next up, relocating to Wisconsin from Missourri in October. Big road trip fun.

also, just noticed that this got posted in the tips and tricks forum, rather than the deuce forum I intended. any suggestions on how to move it?

Welcome aboard & enjoy your stay. Nice looking truck you have there, seems like you got her all wrung out mechanically & ready to go.

Welcome!
Looks good, is that an extra piston by the shifter?

 

[mhatfield]

LOL. It is in fact. for a 74 ford camper special 460 rebuild. I ordered new pistons and wrist pins. for some reason, I got 9 pistons in the box, so the extra made a nice ashtray

Nice ride. Looks like your truck and mine were stable mates at one time. I have a MONG also.

Welcome aboard Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway

Congratz on the "new" truck !!!

 

[mhatfield]

Just thought I'd add a few more pictures of the truck, with a few volunteers from my University classes. Apparently, gravity wasn't working that day, and they " volunteered" to help hold down the truck

adding a few " going down the road" pics from my 675 mile drive to the new homefront inDe Pere, Wi. Truck ran great, no major issues, used no oil, but I did lose some from a leaky canister seal somewhere in Iowa. easu fix with the old seal I still had hanging from the ether bottle. and my new zippered boot on the passenger front had the inner clamp pop off but it hasnt torn and isn't slinging grease yet. altogether, a mighty fun trip, but considering I have the driver seat with the storage box and not even a set of springs to cushion the backside I was ready to step out when I got it here

Gotta admit, I was looking through the first set of picts, and said "Eh, nice Deuce." Then the engine pict. Wow. Clean. Nice.

Beyond that, well. Married.

Good to see a safe relo.

Nice truck, I'm only an hour and half north of you.

 

[mhatfield]

yea, she's real clean. well maybe not right now, what with that oil blowing all over from the leaky canister seal. needs a pressure wash. gonna clean her up some, top off the fluids, and drive her to Rome Wi. tomorrow to visit friends for the weekend. anybody in the nearby area to Rome should drop me a line and we can maybe meet up, compare rides, and share adventures
