But then ... no I won't. I've talked about: Bobbing a Deuce ... Using wmo ... Painting with house paint ... And sewing my own top ... ... and all I've ever heard from those who know EVERYTHING about the Deuce is these things can't be done and they will wreck my truck and I'm STUPID for...

As for One and Two, Even though I've owned operated and repaired my own (bobbed) M35a2 for 12 years +/-, I'm too STUPID to know those things? Allow me a question ... did you at least go to the videos to see how this works? Allow me to forecast an answer: " NO!!! Why the heck would I do...

There are absolutely no surprises on internet forums.

I already know because I've already heard it. "Nope ... this will never work and its the stupidest thing we've ever heard of. Don't even waste your time looking at this crap." soanyoldways ... there's this guy on YT (I can already hear the eyes rolling) who does a lot of odd projects, like...

I enlisted the help from a young man I know from Church. He's a carpenter and knows nothing about motor vehicles. I told him it wouldn't matter and I could talk him through everything. I call him Soldier C 1/2. We were able to inspect the brakes for leaks and adjust the brakes. The first 2...

Things every southern boy knows:

During my time as a mechanic, I have never done this. What liquid would be used to flush the DOT 5 out the system? Eeazy Peazy with a power bleeder.

I suppose some will like to include all this into "Costs of Owning a Deuce". I bought my truck 13 years ago when I was turning 60 and still as spry as a baby goat. Back then my truck went from this: to this: in less than 2 months all by my self in the comfort and privacy of my back...

I re-read the above post, and if it sounds like I'm whining and crying up there ... I ain't. I'm just telling why I can't do the work I know how to do. For me, the word "sympathy" lies in the dictionary somewheres between "shxt" and syphilis" and no way do I need ANY of them. I'm just looking...

DOT 5 is expensive and getting hard to find, at least in north Georgia. The last time I bought any I had to order it from one of the outfits who sell military vehicle parts.

I am looking for a mechanic in North Georgia (Pickens County) who would be willing to travel to my home, inspect, adjust and bleed my brakes to diagnose no pedal after sitting for abut 3 years, and possibly rebuild the airpack or master cylinder as required. My thinking is it is probably the...

I have about 1,500 gallons of "waste petroleum products, WPP" and 275 gallons of clean Jet Fuel for blending. Almost all of my WPP came from auto repair shops of some form. I wouldn't put ANY of it straight into my truck's tanks. The Jet Fuel came from an airport not far from me. The fuel...

I know this is an old thread on a very controversial subject. I bought my M35a2 pretty much for its multi fuel capability. I have not put any diesel in Henry in 12+ years and have put over 20K miles on waste oil. I'm not claiming a record, but I am saying I don't run diesel. I have made no...

I have been advised that a product called HH-66 Vinyl Cement is a good adhesive for my "build a top" project. I did a search and it's easily available (ebay, Amazon, et cetera) in various size containers having various prices. I'm going to give it a try and will report back. I am going to...

DANG!!!!! :oops: I wouldn't have thought you could get a LDT-465 to rev that high.
