Got around to removing the winter front and folding it back up and storing it. Next weekend I plan to do oil and all filters.

I had some input from two friends. I basically re-did the whole coolant filter hose routing. Changed some fitting's direction with street elbows and rotated the tees. MUCH better now. THANKS.

I mounted mine on the engine block itself. Didn't want to add weight to that panel as they already have a habit of cracking.

I'll get some and post them when the site is back to normal. I don't like this vbulletin thing...

Update
Got the Deuce in Oct, had to replace a lot of removed items, like spare tire rack, Spare Tire, Pioneer Rack, a New Radiator, fixed Tail Light issue, got new seat covers, fixed Headlight issue, and fixed the Troop Seats, just to name a few things. Now that the weather broke, she's getting painted! More pictures soon!

That's a funky paint-job; and an interesting camo scheme. I kind of like it. Is there a story behind that?

I have to say, that is one of the nicest bobbed trucks I've seen. Not a big fan of bob jobs, this one still looks like a truck.

Thanks! You know, there have been quite a few people that have said the same thing lately - I appreciate all of the positive comments about her - that makes me think that my brother and I did a good job with the bobbing! We were going for the g506 (ww2, 1.5ton, single axle truck) look. It is actually fun to drive now - will do 62mph and park anywhere a dually will. Fun to running around town.
I want to put a cover on the bed, but will have to locate one for a good price, considering it will cost me another $100-150 to get it shortened by 3'. Thanks again!

There's always a story! I've attached today's photos! The camo is based on me volunteering in 1974 in Germany for a crew to work nights to paint our trucks with the first camo patterns! I did, and this week I did again!! This is basically the MASTER 7th Army Camo. Give or take the same oops I did in 1974!
Drive side Photo is complete less putting the cab top back on and install cargo cover. Oh yea, and add the unit markings!

Picked up a new headlight bulb for $12 at NAPA, #4800 and a pig tail (#LS6235) for $5 to splice into the Mil-spec connectors. The prices on egay for OEM bulbs are outrageous.

Yeah, I remember asking you about it before we did ours. Yes, we used the front suspension on the rear - front hangers. We still haven't installed shocks though - that is on the short list though.

I got my hubs flipped, my wheel bearings lubed, brakes checked, got my 395s on MRAP wheels on, drove it around the block (90 psi, like rocks).
Aired the fronts down to 50 and rears down to 30, took it for a drive, PERFECT.... I took her up a nice local highway hill, at a steady 52 mph (indicated) maybe hit 2100 rpm without any struggles.
