Dad had been looking at this truck owned by a guy that owns local construction co. Finally they reached a deal and Dad & I bought it. Not sure if we will ever get around to restoring it but we figure it will take quite a lot to get it going. First 4 pics are where it sat this past w/e until we...

Well this was not much of a challenge for the deuce but it was a chance to get some in action shots. The top half of a short leaf pine snapped in half and was leaning over the top of a junked M1009 under a tarp. We hooked a chain up to the "top" of the tree on the ground. A pickup could have...

:ditto: or tell me where I can find it.[thumbzup]

Same thing happened to one of mine. I used JB weld @ 5 years ago and it it's still holding. Roll into shape of a small cone between yourfinger tips then press the tip into th hole. No problem.

Tallahassee checking in. I have two "running" 1009's too plus other misc including some parts trucks let me know if you need something. Most of my stuff is in Havana @30 minutes away from home.:grd:

Welcome from Tallahassee.

We have one of those as well. I think they can be used for jumping vehicles but I was told there is some thing about the cycles that would prevent use for running standard lights and other accessories.

:ditto: I have that on mine too. Just a couple years though.

Thanks for the kind responses, and yes I was lucky it was a barn find that had @ 2 inches of barn dust & dirt on top of it.8-)

4 color 4 color. I wish I had done mine like this and i still may one day.

Thanks Cessna. BTW It has both for both the original IV cable and a civy IV wiring (with plastic conduit). I did not change the bulbs and it appears to be bright enough when plugged into my wifes Armada or my Silverado.

more pics BTW I know the can bracket was not normal or factory installed but it was on the tongue was there when I bought it and I wanted to retain it.

Well after 9 months of work I have finally finished what I started. This is my second "restoration" of an M416. I have a few small issues to tackle in the future but I may just let them lie. I bought this trailer @ 2.5 years ago and I let it sit in my Dad's pasture for almost two years until I...

Surface was prepped. Sanded rust cleaned and primed where needed. This was my first deuce but not first paint job. I used maybe 4 parts paint 1 part mineral spirits. Sorry for the hijack.

Pics

You can count on at least two gallons of base coat then maybe a gallon of each of the other colors. We painted my duece with a base of green (2gallons) then added the brown & black.

Try RAPCO if you want to get just the paint. As Tuff said do you really need CARC? PAINTS

I thought that last picture was photoshopped until I read your post. That guy has some stones to haul 8 like that.:neutral:
