What did you do to your deuce this week?

[Aussie Bloke]

G'day everyone,....

Hey, Aussie; the truck looks great.

Are the Vette, the Camaro, and the Opel (Cadet, is it?), are they all part of your collection?

That was a 'Car Show' we had at work, the cars belong to workmates.

Would'nt mind having the Firebird though,...

I bet your Deuce was the hit of the "parade"; did it go over big?!

It was MASSIVE!

Bigger than the bill for getting it over here!

I put the doner IP in today. With a little help from a good friend, the truck fored right up and purred like a kitten. This is the first time she has ran since 1984.

Next is to bleed the brakes, and hopefully the master cylinder isn't bad.

Wow 1984? Long time!

That's pretty good for having been in a "snooze" for over 32 years:

I know. There is no brake pedal. Im hoping it wasn't over stroked by someone else before i got it.

That is a super impressive long time... how many hoses and little parts and pieces have you replaced... lol

[deuce2]

None. Just a doner IP off a crate motor.

She'll need some righteous "nose art" to go with it:

Congrat's! That's a solid achievement and must feel great.

I drove mine for the first time in probably six months. I'm not great about getting it out routinely. I had to drive ~1hr to pick up some slate purchased off Craigslist on the cheap.

Seems like every time I start to think seriously about selling it because it doesn't get enough use, its not practical, I regularly spend money on it, etc, etc, etc; I end up needing to drive it for something and remembering how much I love it.

Did some work getting a de-milled M66 ring functional once again to put on my deuce. I picked it up super cheap a while back, along with the poles, cab reinforcement kit, and cradle. In between Cub scouts, soccer, pinewood derby, work, school, and life, I put about an hour a week on it. I'll do a full write up once I get it done and sort through all the pictures. But the deuce was a hit at the pinewood derby. Good excuse to drive the old girl.

Took my wife on an adventure...to Home Depot. She even gave driving the truck a chance, didn't like the manual steering.

What comms rig are you using? Would like one to talk to my 7yo in the HMMWV.
