Re-arranging

Went from the first pic to the other. Inverted the headlights, added a snorkel, the expanded metal grill, dual rifle mounts in the cab as well as an ignition cut-off.

Aren't the headlights normally on top?

Not necessarily, as I understand, the older models had them on the bottom unless it had a winch, then the lights were up. At some point in the 60's I guess they just made them all up.

It looks like you could put in a 4 light system, lows on top, highs on bottom... old school. but you'd delete the blackouts.

Cold weather prep. Turn heater water on, check coolant level and freeze point. Add one quart of cool it to radiator which helps to minimize cavitation and lowers operating temp. Check all fluid levels. Check tires. Close all cab openings. Include blanket in breakdown kit. Be sure all safety gear is proper. Do complete pretrip which takes 45 mins or so. Jack all 6 wheels up to inspect bearings, seals and brakes. Found one wheel cylinder weeping, none in my stock so put back together and order 2. Note to self be sure to have one of everything in my stock before the seasonal prep. Tighten all hose connections I just checked. Add 20 gallons diesel and 5 gallons premium gas to top off tank. The gas thins out the WMO. Plus she runs great. I can smoke the 4 rear tires in 2,3 and 4 gear. Just kidding. She runs better and starts better when it is cold out. Check batteries and all connections. Bats brand new NAPAs $$$$. Done?? Never just getting started.

Hello Hainebd, And I follow your carful steps for safety, but why do you add 5 gallon s of Premium?

 

[Hainebd]

With WMO that I run in the summer and tank having 15 or so gallons of that mixture and cold weath coming and that He sits a lot the gasoline helps. I use premium due to ethonal content and premium is more stable sitting. I am sure over the winter He will sit for weeks at a time but when I need him I do not want to have starting issues.

Finished wiring in the ATV winch I mounted in the back of the bed. I can load spare tires and stuff by the push of a button finally.

You got that right! Ours won coolest ride back in May - there were a lot of guys with hot rods that left pissed that day! They will probably add another category next year to keep the $50,000 hotrod owners happy!

 

[ralph3162]

I got the new horn kit and wire installed. I now have original M35A2 horn working.

 

[RobM36A2]

Nice, all those winning trucks

I know of a Van owner who went complaining to the organisation, because he did not win any prize on that particular event, talk about ego..
the Van is a real showpiece, but not my cup of tea. Everybody needs a chance to win.

Lol he won first. Considering that the deuce was not cleaned/prepped for a show I was amazed to win anything haha.

Me and some friends drove ours 180 miles each way to the GA Rally. Minor issues with my friends trucks but I just drove mine on some trails and had no issues the whole trip. The T831 Firestone tires worked great on the trails and I never had to be pulled out of a mud hole.

Sandcobra, just don't follow Adam on the night ride.

Showed her off again this year at Cruisin' the Coast. I was joined again this year by John Spink and his awesome replica Vietnam gun truck, from Denham Springs, LA. Had a great time raising money for WWP. This shot was taken about 5am the first morning. I try to get situated before all the shiny pieces arrive.
