My daughter loves the deuce, I just have to rig it up so she can ride in it on the street. I took her for a ride on a dirt road and now every time I go out side she wants to play with daddys truck.
I had to cap off the cold start system today, it was leaking diesel right on top of the hot side...
Armrests. . . that will be nice [thumbzup] . originally I wanted two spring seats but I started thinking about how much storage room I was losing. But now I'm back to spring seats. I will fab up a locking center consol that I can mount my daughters car seat on.
I glad you did this in a safe manner. next time get pics! lol
I tried this one time but I used a tractor, when I put the chain on the limb the limb fell and busted open my eye brow pretty good. the limb was about 30 feet long and about 8" thick at the trunk
That's pretty cheap, the leather is still in really good shape on these seats so i'm just going to die them.
I was looking at a 5 ton at Brads and what I thought was a hydraulic PTO is the power steering pump and reservoir off of an LDS powered 5 ton, so i'm 2/3 of the way to having power...
Oh when I build up my spare cab I am going to install these. don't worry, they will be green.
I'm also going to ditch the spring seat so I can have under seat storage.
Yea the 8 1/4's are garbage, I dont know why anyone would put them on a deuce :cookoo: . now I need some MVT 395's and a winch PTO and my truck will be very close to the way I want it.
Dont wory about having to take off, Brad took care of us.
We went home about 5:15. yes this was the cab against the building, Brad likes his hard tops to much to let them go (cant blame him). He told me brother $500 less than what I paid for mine so now he is really wanting to get rid of his boat lol
Scott, my brother and my self went out to Brads today. Brad. . . what a welth of knowledge and character. He helped me get my gage cluster up and running, told me a LOT about my truck, took us out to lunch and even sold me a rust free cab and doors for less then what I thought the doors would...
It does not have the shifter so I will have to find or make one. I will try White Owl. (not finding it on the web site, I will call next week)
I picked up a 260pcs tool kit with a molded plastic toolbox and the wrenches I need for the injector lines, this will be my 'go' box.
Brads is in Mckenna right? I think I have driven by there a few times. I think it would be quicker to drive through yelm. I know the Mcdonalds.
Mike, I just ordered a NOS PTO shaft for $100 shiped :jumpin:
Ok I will look on ebay, I also need the PTO.
Will do scott, there is one in it now like you have but I dont think its hooked up? maybe its just broken?
9:30 is good, what parking lot? would you mind if my brother taged along? he is going to get a deuce now, as soon as his boat sells.
I have an air shift transfer case in my truck now, that was one more thing I was looking for in a truck. But thanks for the tip, That could have saved me from binding things up.
I forgot to add the pics; it looks like it came with a hydraulic PTO and reservoir. . . I think that is what this is...
I worked on the truck today, cleaned out the bed of all the pine needles an spare parts and lubed all the hinges.
I took a pic of the gage cluster that used to be in the truck, it looks a little different than the one in the video.
There was 75' of 9/16" stainless steel cable on the winch...
I think it had a gasser gage cluster, no tack, speedo in the center right? it came with what I think is the original cluster (9100 miles)in a pile of spare parts. but now it has a partially installed multifuel cluster (only the temp gage works). I'm starting to think this deuce was made for civy...
The data plate says its a M34, It also says the fuel tank is a "Gasoline tank" so im thinking it could have been a gas M34 and the year on the title is wrong?
I drove the truck for about 2 hours today. . . well my brother drove for an hour of that. he is having more fun with the deuce then I...
