Last day of high school I took the deuce - got in bright and early, and grabbed 3 staff parking spots! What were they gonna do, TOW me? Muhahahaha.

Very cool, DR! I would love to have a car like that... if I ever get another car, that is. Before my truck I had a Probe, loved it, but at 6'4", I got sick of getting into/out of the dang thing! Getting a truck has been good for my back! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">

Jeepthrills with a Jeep? Didn't see THAT coming! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> Very nice, though. I'd like to re-engine the Exploder to a V-8, someday. 4.0L V-6 right now - it's pretty damn good for a V-6, but I always want more! <img...

So, I'm just curious what anyone out there is using as their daily driver? What sort of vehicle preference does the MV community have? <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile"> I've got a 1991 Eddie Bauer Ford Exploder, "It's Official." http://www.me.mtu.edu/~bjsikkem/Truck/...

Hey Guys, DR - Thanks! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile"> But this DOES cover through Vietnam - 1964-post-vietnam! So the Vietnam-era olive drab paint scheme is covered in this publication. As for Korea, sorry, I don't have that one yet. I just happened across this one...

Well, it's a TB (technical bulletin), so it's a publication all it's own. I found the original copy on Army Radio Sales Co. website, and converted it to word a while back. Now that I'm at school and have access to Adobe PDF software, I got it converted over. It covers Army markings from...

Finally got around to it: http://www.me.mtu.edu/~bjsikkem/Deuce/TB%20746-93-1.pdf LINK is Dead!

I gotta say, the wrecker idea sounds good to me, too. Especially considering a commercial rig capable of towing the sucker is gonna run you... BIG TIME. Better hope you can fix it or tow it yourself...

That's a tough call... they're both expensive pains in the ass! I'd think a rebuild would be cheaper, but I'm not much of a wrenchmonkey so I dunno. Sure is a tough break.

Loose Deuce, I think ours might have the same problem. Oh well!

Update on my situation, got a call from my dad (I'm up at school now, hence the lack of posts lately), and he got us some paint from a local source, aparently another MV enthusiast who had some for us. I think he said he got us a new canvas cab cover and cargo cover, too. Woo! :)

Awesome. Will have to give you a ring. I already picked up two headsets, but I'll probably be getting two more, and I'm still shopping for the actual intercom system. Brian

DR: did that adapter come with the wiper blades?

LH, Have you tried refreshing, and making sure you've got the most recent version of the page cached? I know there were some problems with the forum link at the onset, but they seem to be fixed now, from what I can see. Site loads up, menu bar is actually pretty small on the left side, click...

For now, LH, I'd suggest right-clicking and opening the forum in a new page. I prefer full-page browsing myself. Shoot, I just made myself a direct link to the forum! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

Don't thank me yet, the best is yet to come... <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_smokin.gif" alt="Smokin'">

In Michigan it's 25 years, so our '71 tag worked just fine. I think the plates last 10 years for us.

I would also be very interested in this! I was just talking to Todd about this last night, it seems my previous identification of my Deuce might be a bit off. The guy we bought it from specialized in turning 2-3 parts trucks into one running truck. When we bought it, he asked my dad what year he...

In the Air Force, we call this "Low-vis grey." <img src="http://www.me.mtu.edu/~bjsikkem/Deuce/LowVis.jpg" border="0"> Not sure it has the same effect on the ground, though... <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> Maybe in San Fransisco, it should blend in with fog really...

Hehehe. I know that feeling! That's why they make caffine... <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool"> Though Kentucky is probably more east than anything. I dunno, I'd have to look at a map. But it is definitely "The South!"
