I vote 10L80 with paddle shifters.

Anyone have pics or any info on these other than what the TM has to offer? Specifically looking for deck dimensions, axle positions and tilt height.

It's kind of difficult to do but a video would really help here, the word "grind" has a very broad definition..... Does the engine rotate at all under starter power?

I was refreshing like a madman thinking it was just my phone.... Maybe @patracy can give us some info on it

@Weldman, you know you want to.....

can confirm, this is a Ford part number, 12,000-13,000 pound axle rating.

Glancing very quickly (and not being a lawyer) at Massachusetts laws, I'd want a class B license, but if the vehicle is going to be an RV, the A3 falls well within class D, and I didn't see an axle restriction. Highly recommend talking to the DMV first just to be positive.

Story goes I went to an auction in Nebraska 1k miles away in the middle of nowhere held in a corn field to look at the rig before bidding. Went through the usual inspection found that injection pump shut off was sticking and not allowing it to return when ignition is turned on without reaching...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/tm-9-2320-289-34-pdf.926632/ Just in case you didn't have the TM

TM 9-2320-289-34, chapter 6, page 71 would be a good place to research, chapter 6-1 says to pull the shaft, but that may be for a different job covered further down the chapter, not necessarily the king pins. Hope it helps

One of those body plugs from post #3 on this thread would be your best bet, the absolute fattest one you can squeeze in, believe me those plastic fins won't let go....

Hope it helps, I googled for a part number and no go, I did find marine chain and fasteners for an aftermarket marine cap, maybe they're the same size. The TM should have the part number and/or specific fastener size.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/deuce_wiring_schematic_pdf-pdf.115588/ The pdf was having trouble uploading on my end, hopefully you won't have an issue downloading. It looks a lot more intimidating than it actually is, every wire on the truck is labeled on the crimp tag. Enjoy!

I put 200 miles on mine with the lift pump inoperable, I wouldn't advise it but in a pinch it is possible, just puts a little extra "strain" on the IP. You will definitely notice harder starts if/when the truck loses prime, as it takes FOREVER for the IP to pull fuel from the tank, all the while...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/deuce_wiring_schematic_pdf-pdf.115588/ I'm pretty sure even though they're different trucks, the wiring is the same. Now that you know every wire has a number/letter/tag, should another electrical issue arise, it won't be an issue for long.

I'm interested, don't have one yet but I will some day, probably the last/only computer controlled vehicle I'll buy 😆.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/seems-like-this-is-turning-into-a-build-thread.219791/post-2596795 Stock tires, but still gained an inch and three quarters. Might be worth checking in to.

What condition are the front leaf springs in? There was a post a while back where the truck was sitting raked like yours and new springs perked it right up. I'll try to find it and drop the link here.
