    Rat Creeping crud? You need to get healthy, those little heathens you will be teaching can give you every disease known to man!

    winch question

    And he's right. Most of the winches have a bronze gear, and a steel bolt will allow you to damage it. My father in law had a marina for years, no telling how many motors came in with busted lower unit gears where people had used grade 8 bolts instead of shear pins. The shear pin is used for a...

    My deuce, Blue...GOT PAINTED!!!

    I've been lucky. 22 years last Sunday to the same gal. She even (grudgingly) allowed me to buy a deuce!

    Insurance

    Allstate insured mine for $96 every 6 months, antique tag, 3rd vehicle. No restrictions other than commercial. I have used this agent for years, maybe that helps.

    Seat Belt Question

    I would like a better seat belt for my "co-pilot". My 11 year old daughter likes to ride in the deuce wherever I go. I can take getting myself hurt, but my kid....... Like Richard said, avoidance is better.

    Seat Belt Question

    Eminently intelligent idea! I like the idea of something besides lap belts.

    Just bought my M342A2

    There were a bunch went through Fort Hood Tx. a while back. The running gear was out from under them, nothing but the frames, cabs, and dump bodies. They brought 500-1200 if I remember correctly.

    Who's Looking for a Deuce in GA

    I started looking about 18 months ago, and prices are up at least 50% for trucks. Residue trucks are getting to where halfway decent ones were a while back! You are better off buying a runner from an individual on E-Bay, you will pay the same amount or less, and be able to go test drive it first!

    deuce height

    A good 4" slab, with fiber reinforcement, over a properly compacted base, should be plenty strong. You will probably end up a little closer to 5" anyway, as most concrete finishers run their forms a little on the deep side. I am pouring a 4" slab in my shop, on this hard Georgia red clay, and...

    Rockwell axle wheel studs and lugnuts?

    The old sports cars with knock off hubs used left and right hand threads. We were towing in an MG Midget one time, 10 miles and we lost a front wheel (we were towing it backwards).

    Anyone have a source for new Kaiser Jeep data tags?

    I am in need of a new M35A2 WOW data tag for my 67 Kaiser Jeep deuce. I would like an NOS unstamped tag that I can use to replace my very corroded but still legible one. There is no problem stamping the numbers. As long as you have the original numbers verified, no legal problems here in Ga...

    Decent looking truck, kind of an odd green. What kind of rear body do you have?

    Compare fuel milage

    I filled the tank to about the same place, as eyeballed. A dipstick would be more accurate, though. I'll make one up, it will make things easier.

    Picking up my new (to me) deuce tomorrow!

    I don't have the alcohol evaporator on mine. I may put one on if I find one. I will probably make up a bikini top like Bjorn's as well. Looks like it would be just the ticket in the summer. Who sells the best quality canvas seat covers for a deuce? Mine are shot on the pax side, I have some...

    Compare fuel milage

    As best I can tell, I got 10 MPG on the trip from Montgomery, pulling my Nissan. I ran 2400 rpm, 1100R20 singles, all axles and flanges in place, air shift.

    engine stalls after 7 miles

    Sounds like you need to go through the whole fuel system from tank ti final filter at one time. If it looked like pudding, it was probably algea. We used to have to watch for that on the charter boats in Destin Fla. A load of algea, and you change primary filters every day for a month.

    Radiator trouble...

    Any good radiator shop can re-core one. My local shop said he thought around 350-450 would get it done. That includes his 1 year warranty. He does a lot of dumptrucks, and the local EMC trucks. He has been in business 30 years, and stands behind his work. Check with your local truck shops, they...

    Picking up my new (to me) deuce tomorrow!

    Let me know how they work. I will difinately be doing away with the stock setup. I think I am going to vent the wiper exhaust outside, the air compressor air smells pretty rank after a while!
