    My Bobbed Deuce is almost done

    Top notch looking stuff there.[thumbzup]

    M275 Sound off...

    That question has come up here too. Do you need a CDL if one is using a tractor/trailer combo for personal use.

    putting my woman to work...

    That's a good idea. I'd had that same kind of thought, but couldn't figure out what to use underneath of everything.

    Has anyone built a big slide-in "truck" camper for a M35 Deuce?

    Depending on the width, that'd look awesome in a deuce bed... with a little OD green on it though.

    Bent bumper

    Well that's what I did with mine, haha. It was bent differently and I used my Ramcharger instead because I didn't have the room in my yard to set up the Deuce to do it :D

    putting my woman to work...

    I recently took over a ton of scrap metal to the recycling yard. That wasn't fun unloading by hand either, but it was the easiest $200+ I've made in a while!

    Bent bumper

    Put it on the ground so it's facing up. Make sure it's in line with the frame of your truck. Place the jack on the correct end and commence straightening. Or... Line up some two 4x4's parallel with the trucks frame. Lay the flat side of the bumper that's bent on the wood, dent in the...

    Width question

    Just a silly question here, but what are standard threads, RH thread?

    Has anyone built a big slide-in "truck" camper for a M35 Deuce?

    Like WM said, if it was raised up a little and moved forward so the overhang was over the cab, it'd look awesome. Then, the extra frame you had left in the rear could be used for a cargo deck... 4-wheeler, bike, etc.

    Navistar 7.3 vs LD465(all versions)

    I can pick up the Ford IDI 7.3's around here for $400 or less. A Cummins is going to run me $1500+. I'd like to keep the stock Deuce trans though. I haven't put much thought in to this plan though since I don't need ANOTHER project going on. However, when I come back from Iraq, I'll have...

    Has anyone built a big slide-in "truck" camper for a M35 Deuce?

    That was the same thought I was having. I'm sure you could find a good sized camper, make a frame for the bottom with some wheels on it. Make sure the door/s clear the bed sides and strap it in really good.

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    If mine was only leaking a little, I wouldn't mind. It literally comes out in a steady stream on the ground up until about 20mph. That's how much is coming out right now. I'm going to check in to this "carrier housing seal" though. I can't find anything that resembles it on ODIron.

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    Mine is definitely coming from the bell housing hole. I crawled under the truck to verify. I'll be checking the breather today. I'm already making plans to pull the trans though.

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    Silly question, but it'll save me a little trouble... where's that at?

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    I'm going to remove the sleeve and stuff under it. I'll polish the crank like you're suggesting. As long as I can get a smooth surface that is.

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    I'm hoping I can skip one of the trans drops and the rod out of the block, lol. On a good note, when I do drop the trans again, it'll much easier this time. The first time was rough, I won't make those mistakes again. I had the trans loose fitted about 3 times before I was ready to finally...

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    I'm sure it's engine oil, it's black and doesn't smell like gear oil. The transmission has 4 quarts in it, I filled it up per some recommendations here, about a knuckle below the fill plug. It's streaming out all the time, not only after shutdown. I used some steel putty to smooth up the...

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    I had to speedi-sleeve my crank. Could that be the cause of my problems?

    Rear main seal replaced - leaking BAD!

    I replaced the rear main seal on my truck a while back. I finally got the truck running again and it's puking oil all over the place. I let it idle for about 5 minutes or so on the initial start up (2 days ago) and it was fine. It dripped a small puddle after I shut it down. Then today, I...

    Converting a deuce to 4 wheel drive without bobbing it?

    I think that'd look awesome on a set of 53's, with some lift to clear them.
