    Stop Lite Switch

    I need a little advice . I'm guessing the switch on the narrow/front end of the duece airpak is the stoplite switch. I have had a steady drip from my master cylinder <I thought> and DOT 5 is getting pretty expensive. Anyway.....I changed my oil today and since I was a greasy mess I checked...

    Tire explosion suggestions.

    I was mowing the backyard today and out of my rear garage was a huge explosion. No sh*t...it scared me for just a minute. It sounded like a 105 blast simulator. I ran over to the garage... the ten foot rollup was up and looked in.....no fire, lots of dust. I couldnt for the life of me figure...

    Seat cover material

    I have been looking for some GI green material to recover my seats. I just happened to ask a buddy of mine who is a surplus dealer if he had seen any. He mentioned that nam era shelter halves were the same material and they were extremely plentiful and better yet.....cheap. I picked one up...

    Windshield seals

    Like most of you, my duece had cracked and broken windshield seals. It was getting too bad to drive in the rain so I ordered a set from Teds Trucks. I was dreading doing this but as it turned out the job wasnt too bad at all. I had a bad drivers glass I had to replace anyway so it was a twofold...

    Crappy Deuce story

    I had had my duece fo a little over a year....all this time my wife has been wondering "why". Yesterday I showed her and all is well in my world. We recently moved to rural Utah after I retired.

    M35A2 in the snow

    My Goodness !

    Driving thru Cedar City today I saw something that caused me to stop, back up, drive down the street and turn around and do it again. It was an M35a2 with a cut in half wrecker truck made into a trailer, pintle hook and all. The wrecker was cut just behind the cab and a six inch pipe tow hitch...

    Hood hinges

    It warmed up enough today to do some work on Bubba. I dont know if its a common problem but my hood rattled terribly. Made the truck even more noisy than normal.My hinges were really worn and loose. I bought a set of hood hinges and installed them....man what a difference in sound. Well worth...

    Veterans Day in Utah

    I just recently moved from Las Vegas to South Central Utah. In Vegas I had half a dozen requests to use my truck for the Veterans day parade. This week I called VFW and American Legion here and asked could they use the duece for their parade. Oh.....we dont do too much here for Veterans...

    M35a2 Bubba in Utah

    Drove the 200 miles Saturday morning. My truck ran like a dream, not even a shudder. The best part about the whole trip up I-15, which can be quite hilly, was that I never once had to downshift.....never even got close to downshift range.... DAMN I LOVE THIS TRUCK. One problem though....i'm now...

    air tank drains

    I have been trying to win a set of cable pull air tank drains for months ,on Epay. They always wind up going way past 40 dollars. Yesterday I went to the Kenworth truck dealer here in Vegas. The parts guy sold me a complete set of two, with cables, for less than 20 bucks. Ebay is nuts. jimbo
