I've been reading the different threads about Deuces with snowplows, so I thought I would post some pics of one of the trucks that we have at work. This is a 1996 Freightliner with a Detroit series 60 engine, Allison transmission, 6x6. The rear axles are Rockwell I believe, and the front is a...

Tony, i'm sure we do somewhere up here, if you want to see, punch in the alaska job corp they have statewide job listings. Ahab, there are some good looking women here for sure, but also a lot of BMW's (Burly Mountain Women), and as for the mosquitoes.....there's not much good I can say about...

If you ever want to visit I can give you some cool places to see

Awesome build man! This is one of my dream projects, so I will be paying close attention. Thanks for all the pictures and helpful tips along the way.

After reading your post again I realized that you were specifically talking about a soft top version, if that's the case, then yes, you would want a diesel fuel burning cab heater, definitely. lol

Although I'm not intimately familiar with the Deuce, I know that our fleet trucks run an auxiliary heater that is basically a second heater core that is independent of the factory one, that we mount on the floor of the cab somewhere, and it has its own two speed fan. With the factory and the...

Ha ha no doubt

Thanks Matt, its funny how the "needs work" part never made it into the ad. :razz:

Thanks! Ya, i saw it on there a couple weeks ago. And theres another one on Alaska's list in Fairbanks, but the guy got water in the engine, says all it needs it head gaskets but...... Anyhow, I would love to one but dont have the money right now. Just bought a new tool box. Lol

There is an old deuce down the road from me, and the other day I was talking to the owner, mentioned I would like to talk about buying if he ever wanted to sell, he surprised me by saying he would like to part with it and for a measly $1500. Some details: Early '70s Deuce and a half ('72 I...

Ummm, yes they are aftermarket, i dont know where they got them exactly but we get a lot of stuff from six roblees, and trailercraft. I dont know if there are branch stores down where you are. Try ebay?

Sure thing, I love seeing them around too. In our area there are a several really nice MV's that make the 4th of July parade every year.

MV's? yes, there are lots of them. Mostly Deuces, but sometimes a chevy pickup, or a blazer, even a couple ambulances.

ya, lol, in some places they gather at the dump and swarm you when you try to go there, you have to kick them out of the way :-) not exactly the image you might expect from our national symbol (despite how fitting it may seem at times)
