You could try the "Old Retired Patriot" approach... most women will assign feelings and emotions to inanimate objects like flowers, cars, stuffed animals and such... you start by telling her these old Army trucks deserve a nice place to spend their last years. After serving our country...

This would probably make a funny Thread of its own... something like "What Have You Run Over With Your Deuce"... I completely flattened my wheelbarrow soon after getting the Deuce. When I say flattened I mean it is FLAT like you could now slide it into a 6" high slot! It was so funny looking...

I love the SS forums... already in a few hours since this morning I have found members with single bows and I would not have to buy the whole set... Memphis Equipment has singles for a reasonable price but shipping might be as much again?... Found some from the member who sold me the truck and...

I agree with the above members... I just posted about breaking one of my overhead wooden cover supports with just a light pull on a rope. If they are wood they may be old and weather cracked and any weight at all would break them. If you had the metal type I bet you'd be ok. In that case I'd...

I like that "splint" concept as well. Obviously the bow at the front and back take much more stress than the inner bows. After I glue, clamp and run screws (and maybe add the splints) I will then move this bow to the center of the truck bed and after finding the best of the inner bows will move...

Hadn't considered glueing the two pieces back together! Their is a lot of angle to the crack so I will get the best epoxie or wood glue I can find locally and then glue and clamp the top bow. Afterwards I may pre-drill and run some long screws through the bow for added support. This should...

I decided running a little rope over the bows and pulling it tight would lift up the cover and keep rainwater from forming huge pockets of water after a heavy rain. When I pulled that rope my back bow snapped. Inspection showed that the wood grain was doomed to fail from the beginning...

You learn something new every day I am going to lock in on that "How Stuff Works" website... I can see me using it a LOT! Wonder if it will explain in layman's terms the physics of a black hole?!!!:-P

In celebration of Halloween I have placed a bright orange plastic Jack-O-Lantern over my stack. Yes, the face is upside down but it looks cool up there. PS.. these Jack-O-Lanterns come in an assortment of day glow colors! Photos coming tomorrow... I am not going out there in the dark! We...

I am a new M35A2 owner myself getting into mood to buy back in June of this year. I didn't jump on the first one I saw and luckly for me, found this forum. After a short time I got a fellow SS member to sell me one of his collection for a very reasonable price. Granted it was more than GL...

Glinck... As a fellow paintballer and a resident of Alabama I would have to say the way to find out is load up the team and GO FOR IT!!! Either you make it or you don't! Either way you will have an interesting follow up to this post! Here are a bunch of players going back to the far end of...

How about "Erma" as in the play Erma la Douce (means Erma the Sweet in French). I like this quote from Erma: "Who wants to be a stray dog? You gotta belong to someone, even if he kicks you once in awhile." The old 60's movie stars Shirley McClain and Jack Lemmon. Hey... my Deuce is Douce...

I would love to have a pair of shackles from the front bumper along with their pins???? Got any of these?? Thanks!

I know it's just a matter of time till I grab and pull the throttle by mistake. In my 71 Kaiser Jeep the STOP is red plastic so it's obvious they made it that way because of repeated goofs! ... I have these excuses all ready for use when needed. Feel free to pick one or add some!: 1. "I meant...

Yea buddy... of course I was only speaking metaphorically there... you reach inside my glove box and all your gonna find is dust and the odd assorted nuts and bolts that seem to come inside all the old M35's I've ever seen. The point being... keep some cash in reserve cause you're gonna...

I was beat to the draw ... my input was going to be a small metal container kept deep in the big glove compartment box... inside of which rest 5 $100.00 dollar bills and the phone number to an excellent deuce mechanic at the local truck stop.:roll: Because I use this method of repair I only...

Thanks for the input. It appears I have a couple of compression fittings in my basement that are the right size. I will pick up a short length of tubing to fill the gap and fix it right. Also will have an easy place to disconnect the line if needed in the future. I will re-route the line up...

I was showing off with my new toy to the gang and ran the deuce over an old dead pine tree about 5 in. in diameter. Of course it plowed it right down but when I got home I saw a trail of diesel fuel down the roadway... the fuel line was crushed and severed between the fuel pump and the filters...

I like it a lot! I think someone should do a deuce in Jurassic Park Greens and Yellows with snake skin bottom half! Heck Yea! I might even go this route myself next year.... after the lovely OD Greens and blacks fade a little on my baby.

Well heck no I wouldn't trade my wife in for a MV... in many ways she is just like the MV herself... for example she is reliable and always ready for action even if she is old and worn (hell folks, we're both pretty old)... she runs on about any kind of fuel... and for an old gal she looks GOOD...
