    I recently moved back to northern Ohio after leaving for a job seven years ago. Before I left I had a Cutlass that I scraped and painted the underside every summer. It was also rustproofed in the doors and quarters when it was restored. The car was showing signs of rust when I sold it. My...

    My southwest truck has a spot on the right rocker about the middle of the door and on the left side cab corner. The right side is the size of a quarter the left side is a little larger. Since I moved north it is starting at every joint and unprotected area.

    J-Pipe for the deuce

    A good muffler shop can make one. I have seen people replace the rusted lower bend too if the rest of the pipe is good.

    mix n match spring packs

    I did a mix and match setup for short term after I rolled my toyota down a hill and bent 3 springs. I had several leaf springs from friends' trucks to pick from. I measured to find similar sizes and pulled apart the springs. You have to make sure the metal wrap infront and behind the spring...

    Air compressor siezed!

    I have an extra one, and I think it is a single. I will check the compressor when I get home to see what kind it is. I will be headed your way on Friday morning on my way to my dads house if you need a hand or some parts.

    Air ride seats

    I got two seats one red one blue for $75.00 at a salvage yard. They didn't have a pair. My wife made covers for them out of camo fabric that she got at walmart.

    Air ride seats

    I drove across the country with the wife and cat. I put an air ride on her side, but I felt too close to the steering wheel to be comfortable.

    sustained top speed

    I drove from El Paso, TX to Mantua, OH about 1800 miles in an M35a2 and 105 with all my household goods, my wife, and the cat in it. It was very heavy. I had trouble on the hills running 2nd and 3rd gear on a lot of them. When I could, I ran 2550 on the flats which was around 64 mph with my...

    Clutch Job!

    A Harbor Freight trans jack can get the job done. It is tall enough and strong enough to make it happen. I think it is less than $200. It works for T cases too. Unfortunatly I can attest that it is very easy to swap a trans in these trucks.

    12.50 R20's or, I'm in love again...

    Ed, did you mount the tires on the wheels yourself? After moving all those tires you have room for two more trucks. My truck is smoother with the bus tires, but I got stuck on the ice in the back yard.

    Does anyone have or have seen any square turn signal lights on a deuce? I have not seen any others and no one else that I have talked to has. The VIN is a 0325.

    M35 and M108 moving wood

    Stretch, where did you get the wood? I was going to get some around here for $8.00 a bundle. Years ago they delivered it for free, then charged a delivery fee, now you have to pay for it.
