Oil baths are pretty common. My 1958 GMC coach (former Greyhound) has three steel wool air cleaners that are then immersed into separate pans full of motor oil.

Fifteen years ago while running my rig through a Missouri DOT check point got caught with red dye in my fuel tanks. I admit here that I poured it in because the lubrication was good for my older truck. Dot jackbooted thugs were all over me with fines and such. I went to court with this defense...

Wonderful Idea. But there are more than myself (I suspect) who has failing eyesight able to spend more than ten to twenty minutes a day reading. My problem is I have floaters. So if I can help another I shall. And thanks to all the great folks that helped me on my issues. Greatly appreciated!

I would take a tape measure to make sure the axle isn't out of line. Possible that side hit something stationary causing to knock it out of line. If it is a good big truck frame shop can get that fixed. You could also check the mounting bolts on the frame. Any spots where you can see that...

Rustoleum Aircraft paint stripper. Spray it on wait ten minutes or so and heavy steel wool cuts it off.

Thanks Tim had a great time. Much to my chagrin I can't for the life of me remember names. I want to thank the Brother who showed me my problem with the brakes on my Deuce and even got them fixed! And thanks again for that brake fluid, probably save my life cause those things are scary when they...

Got under my M35a2 yesterday to remove the rear oil pan bolt when I discovered what appears to be a missing bolt. It is located just behind the oil pan on the transmission member that also serves as a motor mount. There are two holes one has a large set screw and right next to it is what appears...

lets just say that the ONLY set of numbers were so unreadable that the State Trooper saw the same thing. AND the seller with all their experience doesn't have the info that Carnac has? C'mon in my book that is sheer lazyness/irresponsibility with a good dose of greed thrown in. They make plenty...

The situation is as follows. GL sold me a Duece for which due to a lack of correct unreadable serial was registered as 0340 instead of 0640. Now I need to go back through Louisiana DMV with a new SF97. Is there someone at GL I can speak with other than the people who left it on me to give them...

Yes sir you are most correct. Serial number is 064011912. The Trooper that used the number raising solution and I both got it wrong. I used aircraft remover then rubbed dirt into the very faded out serial number and barely made out the "six". So once again I sure would like to know the...

Good going Heath, glad ya finally got the one you want. Many hours of enjoyment!

Hopefully you can get this one figured out. GL sent me paper work for a 1989. Louisiana motorvehicles (while I was watching) finally used my serial number for my license on the front bumper. However, entering it three times into their database system came back to them as NOT a 1989 model. But...

I have just moments ago received a request for my deuce to do a water rescue. I donot have a water kit for it. I don't want to mess my truck up. How far up the wheel at a slow roll should I go into the water? Thanks (yes searching the TM's but haven't mastered where to find that info yet and...

go to lowes, pick a few paint colors, go outside and see which does best for you. At the suggestion of the paint clerk after I picked pine bough green, was recommended the valspar duramax. Painted my box with it and touched up some of the rusty spots that I had cleaned. As a daily driver and...

just switched the progessive insurance from my PD4104 1958 model "rv" to my deuce "rv" they even lowered it to under $40.00 a month with full coverage valued at 8K. Took me three different Progressive agents before one swapped it over.

Try Sammons trucking. Many rig outfit. They charged me $2.00 a mile for five hundred miles.

Either would be good for me. My deuce is road worthy, now if the rain quits I can finish the interior.

I used Sammons trucking and they brought my duece from Huntsville to Louisiana for about two dollars a mile. Be forewarned though. They have flatbeds only. I called my local rolloff wrecker service and they charged me fifty dollars to roll onto them then they rolled me to the ground. Easy as...

From the couple of requests, one asking for more pictures and details, well here goes. I am no expert carpenter but have worked on a few wooden boats in my day. That is important for the reason that my cargo box still has a few bends in the body. That would probably drive any Carpenter nuts...

this is what I did for my deuce the last two weeks Had wanted a van and decided to build my own. For the floor I painted on rust preventative and then laid down one inch thick foam followed by three quarter inch plywood. The box on top is through bolted to the lower sides. The insides aren't...
