    Looking for M35A2, maybe an A3....need some suggestions.

    Too true! I've had my deuce for about 10 months, and just won a trailer. But I'm definitely feeling a 900 series 5 ton. A 925A2 oughtta do the trick (for awhile). LOL:grd:

    Preping your deuce for paint

    A needle gun will remove paint pretty well on the heavier pieces like the frame and bed. It's probably not so good on the lighter metal of the cab. It won't make dust and the flakes are easier to clean up than dust. Follow with a light sanding and wipe with a solvent,and you're good to go. I...

    Painting the Deuce-Need sandpaper???

    Can't help with the sandpaper source, but a needle gun will make life much easier on some of the thicker metal parts like the bed, bumpers and frame. Dont know that I'd use it on the cab sheet metal though. Rick

    Axle Vents

    For less than $50 in parts from Lowe's, I installed a vent system in my deuce. It stopped a leak in the right front axle seal, and one in the transfer case. The trans case actually puffed at me when I took the vent out. The hole in the axle was 1/8 NPT. I used 1/4 poly ethylene tubing like...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Hey everybody! I've been trying different paint recipes that I've found on this thread and others. I finally decided the darker green that was used on the Vietnam era trucks was what I wanted when I found it under all of the layers of paint on my truck. I matched it with a section of the sheet...
