towing If your not using something with a pintle hitch you can probably use a U-Haul rental tow bar. Back in the day I used to work for them and we used them to move the full sized moving vans. Their design allowed them to be used with just about anything with a bumper. The lower hooks...

Merry Christmas Thanks Kevin and Emmando, I think I see one of these under the tree if Santa will deliver.

Merry Christmas Do you think if asked Santa for one he would deliver it rather than put it on his sleigh? Does this type of cover replace the front and rear curtains? Thanks for the info.

GMA Nice looking truck! Sounds like a somewhat reasonable price. GMA's site????? Thanks

Alternator Might find you local heavy equipment repair shop and ask where they have their alternators repaired. Usually better to have yours repaired by qualified repair technician rather than high school kid swapping parts from cleaned up junk yard units. Also has benefit of putting some...

Dust Boots I got some from Memphis Equipment. About $6.00 and some change each if I remember correctly

Tacograph Sold!

Tacograph It occurred to me someone might want a look inside. Also I should add that I have no idea if it works. It appears to be in good shape. I got it from someone didn't have an MV.

Tacograph Is someone looking for a Tacograph? I have one with a key. Interested in trading for something?

canvas help Is there instructions on the site to properly put the canvas top on a Deuce? I just put mine on and I am not sure its on correctly. I seem to get gaps at the sides, so far no leaks but it hasn't gone anywhere yet. Also, water seems to collect every year in 5 gallon puddles...

adjuster Yes I was referring to the large nuts at the bottom. Is the pin that the snap rings go onto offset to move the shoes out? Also, while looking at the manual I noticed that it mentioned four felt rings that go on the lower studs. Mine does not have any and I suffer from a brake...

Thanks for the tip Thanks for the tip about the breathers, once you mentioned it I think I remember hearing about it somewhere else. Thanks for all the great pictures as well as the tips on re assembly. Following up on the most recent posts concerning brake work, have you much experience with...

Question Thanks again for the very informative pictures and write-up. Do you perchance have a picture of the axle seal and where the axle seal (as opposed to hub seal) actually goes? Do you fill the differential up to the fill plug? I have a lot of trouble with leaks (even with sealing with...

mounting Thanks to everyone for the advice and the pending pictures. Is this not a great site with a great bunch of members? I wish I could get half as much cooperation and work-to-getherness from my co-workers at work. Thanks again

Question: Does anyone know if mounting a solargizer on a magnet will interfere with its operation or damage it? At times the truck is covered and if attached to the truck it wouldn't work. Thanks

Thanks Thanks for the tips. Looking at the TM is helpful but there is no substitute for words of wisdom from a real person. I have had good luck with the boots from Rapco.

Question I am getting around to doing something similar to what you are doing and I am wondering how hard it is to get the spindle off of the axle pins. Also, I am guessing that there is a retainer plate in the axle housing that keeps the axle in place? Or does the spindle assembly hold it...

Battery 3 years ago I purchased a set of NAPA batteries. I don't use the truck for long periods of time, but it always starts up even in cold weather. I think its because all the terminals were well cleaned when installed and are treated periodically with Permatex Battery Terminal...

question Isn't it bit odd that the truck is not sand colored? How about the reflectors uncovered in combat situation? It seems as if it would make it stand out at night.

looks good I was thinking of doing the same thing, mount down low, for vibration and looks. Were you able to fab up something to retain the expanded metal at the bottom? I want to try to hide the change. Did you find a paint that didn't burn? I keeping with the original intent of his...
