what wheels did you use? they look great by the way.

58's won't fit without lift. 53's barely fit without lift. stick with 395's you will be happier with the end result.

I say go for it! If the owner says that it is roadworthy and is willing to stand behind that, then get your traveling panties on and go. Do a very thorough check of the truck when you get there and have him address any issues that you find before you leave. Get a MR. HEATER propane kit from...

get a big hammer out of your tool box and show it to the truck. Take it around by the headlights and make sure it gets a good look. They describe how the hammer will be used in it's immediate disassembly and be graphic. This has helped me more than once. Didn't solve the problem mind you, but...

Is that a harbour freight bed crane? I have looked at it several times and debated on buying that one or building my own with a 3k lbs electric winch. Also I am planning a tire carrier rear bumper as my next project. Think huge Jeep swing out tire carrier. I want all the space usable in my...

I too am weighing the options. I have enough christmas money to get Locking hubs or new 395's for the bobbed deuce. Kicking myself for not buying a set that sold locally for 250.00 last october.

there is always a scavenger lurking, to profit on someone's misfortune. Problem is I am hard headed and don't give up easily. Problem isn't rearing it's ugly head for now, but it will. When it does I will nail it down and fix it. Oh and just so you know, it isn't for sale, but i will take...

My m1031 with a M101 trailer bed and 37's. No lift just fender trimming in the front and half painted desert tan.aua Getting a little lift for the front to level it out this week.

sorry it is not for sale. Went out this morning and fired right up in 22 degree weather. She's tempermental sometimes and other times a downright pain in the ars, but she is mine.

WOW. truckdrivers really do know their ****?

i plan to start a new tech post and It better make it to a sticky on the tech pages here. ADDING HOLY WATER TO YOUR CUCV TO WARD OFF BAD JU-JU AND EVIL SPIRITS.... Step one. Add holy water to radiator. Step two. Pray it starts Step three. If if doesn't start refer to step two and repeat...

i just tried to call you cock-knocker! After it was running and acting fine. I know how you love to play captain obvious. Me----it's running fine now. Dave-----leave it alone, then. end of conversation.

after I drove it around for a bit I brought it home and checked everything. The batteries are less than a month old, new cables, ends and everything seemed fine. Still nice and tight before I removed and checked them again. Been sitting for about three hours now, went out and it fired right...

I have done everything to my cucv in preparation for the cold months. Done every upgrade conversion that I know of. (doghead relay, glow plug switch,spin on fuel filter,fresh fluids and antifreeze) Went out this morning jumped in to go to the store and nothing, not even a whimper from the...

I also think Big Girl panties are required for operating any military vehicle in the winter without a heater. You just have to suck it up and drive on. every little electrical contraption that you add to one of these trucks leaves an avenue for something to go wrong, and according to my...

I can tell you that after driving 5 hours in the teens in a deuce with no heat, anything is a welcome change. Guy I bought it from said" there will be enough heat coming out of the floorboards to keep you warm".......well there was heat coming from the firewall and through the floor. Problem...

There are some very nice synthetic winch ropes out there that are not only stronger than steel cable, but relatively harmless should you break one. I have been looking at this for some time. I havn't made my mind up which I will get, but i will be getting one of them. You can also spool twice...

brace added.

Wreckerman, I made a couple of braces for that very purpose. I figured I would give it a week or two of driving to see how they were effected. i got her up to about 55 today cruising in the rain and could not see a problem, but I am with you. When the new wears off they may move in the wind.
