Looks sweet Bjorn. Do you have a canvas or are you going to have to have one made up? Have you run into any parts that just can't be found yet?

Bjorn, what are you talking about when you refer to the starter's "chatter"? My 5ton wrecker with the lds usually starts fine, but once in a while it just clicks 3-5 times. Then after a second or two rest, She fires right over. Same thing?

Something like that, I'm concerned that it may be the solenoid, a bad spot on the contact disc. Experienced the same thing on the deuce last year and ended up replacing the starter.
Firstly, I want to be dead sure it isn't the batteries or the connections, it's not a permanent setup yet.

Chuck, so far no real problem with parts. This series of vehicles only had vinyl or hard top covers (no canvas). I may opt for the homemade, heavy duty canvas "bikini" style again, since I like the open ride it offers in the deuce (see current avatar)...
