Small jobs.

Refrigerator mounted, RV panel mounted, 12 volt lights installed in box, new fuel sender and gauge. Have to complete the stereo etc in there and other 12 volt lighting. Fitted a second marine battery, so have one in battery box and one in back joined by heavy cable. RV panel charges them both nicely.

Cables just arrived for the VIC so thats next on my list :)

lets see. ive changed the oil, and the oil filters. i replaced a blown tail light bulb. i installed a keyed ignition switch. i replaced the fuse in my lift pump (which works great now) i replaced a burnt bulp and panel light cover. i greased every **** grease fitting i could find in the TM'S. i changed out one of the dust boots on the drivers side. rebuilt the electric heater motor.


things on the list. locking door handles. change the fuel filters. get a canopy. and maybe some other little things as i see them.

I have the same deuce that I did an rv conversion on. Works great with all that room. It is my permanent home while I live in Alaska.

Added a pivot crane to the back of the truck I can remove the arm and store it in the front of bed or underneath not to sure yet. Buddy and I tested it by pulling up the nose of a the 105 camper even with the rear support leg down hahahah. still need to shorten in by maybe 5 in and maybe add some more support.

also added another jerry can mount next to the previous one and toolbox. added a strap to the spare tire carrier for better support as well

I like that pivot crane. I need one of those on my truck. One thing I learned is that getting anything heavy into the back of a deuce is not an easy task for one man!

I keep seeing this thread and my post is "not enough". I have a right fender to repair or maybe replace. Rusty door. and needs small details MANY but one thing for sure I can go out there and start it when I want at -30° or plus 40° and she starts.
I will get to it this summer and this thread helps me to remember this! Good luck to all.

PSA: if you leave your fenders off for several months, they will s-t-r-e-t-c-h and be very difficult to get back into place!

I've got a similar crane I'll be installing later on. Can you show what you did under the bed for additional bracing, if anything?

Thanks! Looks great!
