What do you have to do for your Deuce

[TommyG45]

Well, here near Cleveland, we just got about three inches of snow, and once again, I have run out of time for good weather (not that we ever really get that here)

Out of time and now have to work in the cold.

Changing the priorities on the projects: (cost/time/investment/weather)

Heater install
Oil filter adapters
Fuel filter adaptors
Reline brake shoes (brakes are good but purchased the kits and have extra shoes)
Finish the fuel processor
Play with the winch and learn how to use it (not using it now until time to play)
Build a pole barn so I can put the Deuce in it


What do you have going on, and what order

Tommy

When funds becomes available:
1. Oil filter adapters
2. Find and install better front fenders( mine are too rusted to salvage)
3. Repair hole in tool box bottom( have off the truck and here, winter project)
4. Change to new style brake light switch( easier now that tool box is off)
5. Paint truck

Has only been spitting snow here so far. Truck is 150 miles away and I only get to it on weekends. But I have a unfinished m43 in the garage here I need to get back on. Not enough time

(2) Spray undercarriage with ATF

Excuse my ignorance - but why??

 

[tjcouch]

My guess would be to keep the corrosion down? Evidently, for some unknown reason to us Florida boys, they put salt on the roads up north.

Salt.

Liberally spraying the undercarriage and underside sheet metal with 50% ATF/50% Diesel "helps" keep the salt they put on the roads from totally destroying what it comes in contact with.

-Finish intalling new west coast mirror kit.
-Replace screws that the heads twisted off of while removing the door hinges so I could remove the door hinge pins that have been in there for 43 years
-Order NOS door hinges from Saturn Surplus.

-Change oil in trans, transfer case and differentials.
-Lube the air pack.
-Replace all the rubber brake lines.
-Install the remote resivoir for the master cylinder.
-Install new seals in the winch and mount on truck.
The list goes on...

 

[davidkroberts]

as my Orlando Florida buddy asked..... Why put Salt on the roads? Thats just dumb.



Yeah we had a pretty hard winter in Tennessee last year. I think we had almost 24 hours of snow on the ground. I feel your pain....... No Really.......

 

[lenz1079]

salt gives us northerners another 4 degrees before the road freezes. and with other salt based products we can go to almost 22 degrees F before the road freezes. Its science Mr. Wizard. SO unlike coastal areas, salt is only destroying our vehicles for 6 months a year

 

[Shizzlemah]
