Thanks! I love working on my truck! The buying parts gets old fast though! haha A question to someone that knows, where can I get/buy new plates (The ones that go over the drum, have a tendency to bend when wound up too much), and the threaded rod on the bottom, if i cant buy them (Cheaply)...

Looked like a nice truck in the first picture! That really blows, but now you got a nice parts truck! 8-)

Its been a while sense i have posted some updates. As some may remember my truck from the tread - http://www.steelsoldiers.com/paint-bodywork/75045-sand-prime-paint.html I have started my next mechanical addition, which reminds me, my last mechanical repair is holding up quite nicely! No leaks...

Just bought a couple test quarts of Behr 383 green and brown to test, also bought the interior/exterior harbor freight air sprayer, tested it out, it worked good but was too smooth, need to not thin it as much..

all of my tires are good but one, and its not that bad, just kinda scratched looking

I hate heights but my sister convinced me to go, best thing i have ever done! It is really an amazing thing, you can look down and see the world! Plus, you will jump with a guide, so it isnt that bad..

I love taking road trips in the deuce! First one is a 500 mile round trip, and i loved it! Highway the whole time, through flint, alot of people were impressed with the thumbs up and the picture taking.. On the way to my destination i got stuck in a parking lot of a expressway, and a few people...

Fixed the gasket problem, test drove it it was fine.. Get out, smoke coming from the engine compartment, both fuel lines to flame heater pump/actuator thing broke.. And leaking on exhaust manifold...Replacing those tomorrow...

Thanks guys! Got some stuff done today. Filled up the coolant, ran it up to temp, re torqued the bolts, check for leaks, and the verdict is, ITS GOOD! Awesome stuff, now I'm allowed to drive to school with out getting b*chted at for blowing coolant everywhere... :oops: My ma made me them...

One hose on mine goes to the top of the the water manifold, right by the thermostat, and the other is at the bottom of the pump.

Well, id say its time to update. I brought my truck into the garage last week, started to tear it down to fix that coolant leak, took alot of pictures, and now have it back together with new gaskets. The old gasket was ripped and worn, you could tell where it was leaking from. Also all the...

I used Rapco's spray bombs, 383 base, and for camo, 383 brown and flat black, I used the pattern, but not quite sure with one, i know it was on Jatonka's website. I think it came out alright, but I'm not please with the paint itself. It seems like satin, and it just doesn't hold up to scratches...

Thanks every one! I am gonna wait til after christmas to get her fixed up! Ill keep y'all informed!

Alright guys, thanks for the tips, I think I am gonna go with RTV Ultra Black high temp, light coat, some of the surfaces have a tiny bit of pitting, so I'm hoping this will make her seal up real nice like, what do you all think? And clinto, Im good, ill just park the truck til i get more...

This week, i tore into my engine to fix a coolant leak out of the water intake manifold.. It is a real pain, but hopefully i can get her nice and fixed, and in tip top shape. I need one gasket, which i hope to get some money for Christmas to buy it, and then ill be good as gold! Maybe i will get...

hey everyone, I decided that this weekend would be a good weekend to tear into my truck and replace the manifold gaskets because of leaking coolant. I have it all apart, got my gaskets, but im wondering, should i add something like RTV to the gaskets to make sure of a good seal? and i also took...

One of mine, before i painted it on Port Huron's Cruise Night

The starter is pulled, i have the cover of the solenoid off, there is a wire or something soldered to the end of one of the connection bolts. When i put a socket on the little lock nut of the solenoid shaft that the plate is bolted to it just spins, and i cant get the solenoid off far enough...

Sorry about the spelling, for some reason my phone auto corrected it. Owell, and also, how do you stop the solenoid shaft from spinning? I cant get that bolt holding the plate off.
