    Fontana trip

    Yep, I'll second the request for more yard info. Haven't been on SS in a while, but it's time to redo the brakes on the deuce. Plus get a PTO/shaft/lever/link and other bits and pieces. You guys going to do another group trip?

    Barstow Truck Parts

    I've gotta say that after being treated like dirt in the past at barstow TP, I'll never go back. Yep, tons of great things, ridiculously high priced, and crap service. Hopefully it's changed a bit.

    OK, time to get rid of some of these tires...

    Hehe...err, nope. got no need for doors, since I'm not going to do the four door conversion. How many 9.00's do you need? I'll see what I can do. Greg

    OK, time to get rid of some of these tires...

    Dave and MD, let me check to see what I can find. I have only two 16's right now, but I might be able to find others. Shipping? Absolutely no idea. I wonder if UPS will take them, or if they'll have to go freight? IAC, I'll get back to both of you on this.

    OK, time to get rid of some of these tires...

    Wow....that must be some sofa. :shock: And me with all these really nice 11.00x20 Michelin XL's just sitting around down here :D OK, digging through the yard stock, I found 5 new ones, and one that's 75%, and one that's a 30% quality for a spare. 950$ for the lot.I'll even deliver within...

    OK, time to get rid of some of these tires...

    Howdy - yep, as you see from your search, you'd need a _bit_ of a lift. There's a guy in a dually around here that's running them, and I'd estimate he's got around an 8" lift on it. I've got 36" tires on my Suburban, but they're 16.5's, and I'm not about to go find a whole new set of 16" rims...

    OK, time to get rid of some of these tires...

    I've got to clean out some of this area for other projects....11.00x20 Michelin XL's, 11.00x16 Michelins, some 9.00x20 NDCC's, etc. Some wheels too. Come to think of it, if there's someone in Southern California looking for any tires for their trucks, let me know and I'll bet I can get them for...

    Cranetruck needs some help

    Good to hear he's back on the road - like I said before Bjorn, when you get closer to SoCal, LMK if you need help. I'm probably heading to Wyoming to pick up a Suburban, but I'll head out to help you if need be. Safe travels bud!

    Need a crank handle for the landing gear...M105A2

    Twin wheel USMC version, if that matters. I think it's a 5/8" OD shaft. Folding handle on it too......anyone got any leads? Thanks! Greg

    Tranny build and install

    Sounds good...yeah, post whatever part numbers you found. Any tips and tricks, also? Thanks!

    Ok, I'll say it, the deuce is not that "awesome" o

    Do you always believe everything everyone tells you? Hell, there' isn't a vehicle made that I can't get stuck, and I know that. Then again, pardon me....I just whacked my thumb with a ball peen hammer while working on a M105A2 landing gear today and I'm kinda grouchy. I'd load up on more...

    Estate sale - lots of green things

    Oh man is that tempting...this might turn into a road trip for me. Anyone taking pics out there?

    11:00 R x 20's on deuce/135 rims

    Good thread...those Michelin XL 11.00x20's are exactly the same ones that I'm going to run as duals on my truck. The fronts go on sometime this week...still have to get some more for the rears.

    The QUIET DEUCE

    I put a muffler inline on the stack some years back. Went from 117dB to 111dB, as I recall. Quite a noticeable difference.

    Any ideas what this PTO is for? Deuce? M37? or???

    OK, went through my pile (s) today, and pulled this PTO out - can anyone ID it? It came with a load of WC parts, but I don't think it's WC. well hell, that didn't work. Images are in my folder in the photo gallery...I need to find out how to post them here.

    IH ACCO 2.5 ton Motor Home

    Yep, pretty cool beast. I think he's still selling it too.

    Front leaf springs...re-arch them? Buy newer? Buy NOS?

    That's the first I've heard of it. Thanks guys, Bjorn, et al. I'll check into it. If it does work out, this'll save a ton of money. Since I'm thinking of eventually putting a plow onto it, I'd probably keep the extra leaves in, too. It's a winch truck, so it's already got a few hundred pounds...

    Front leaf springs...re-arch them? Buy newer? Buy NOS?

    Yeah, I'll give Norm a try, but I don't think he's going to have them. Barstow truck parts is, and always will be, on my **** list, and I'll never deal with those bozos again. There might be some in Az - I've got to call someone tomorrow on it. After I rebuild that M-37 PTO that's sitting on...

    Front leaf springs...re-arch them? Buy newer? Buy NOS?

    Well, my sagging leafs are finally going to get dealt with this summer. They're getting close to being a reverse arch, ala K-5 Blazers, etc. Not a good thing. I've called National, and they quoted $700 to remove, and rebuild both spring packs - re-arch, add two new leafs, replace all...

    SoCal....who needs tires? I'm going to get some this week...

    I'll keep you in mind - as I said, swapping all the way over to the XL's will take a while. When I've got them off, I'll post a heads up on this board and PM whoever was interested. Thanks!
