    Remote Brake Reservoir

    The spin on filters are definitely on my list. I gotta chill out a little with the OD expenditures for a few weeks or my wife is gonna "MommaSmack" me:) She actually threatened to paint the deuce Hello Kitty Camo when I brought it home.

    Toggle switch air tank drains possible?

    So I was thinking.....alot of standard industrial controls that I work with are 24vdc. Getting underneath my truck everytime I shut it down to drain the air and water out of the tanks can be kind of a pain. I was thinking of wiring in a 24v toggle switch in to two MAC valves with the 24v coils...

    Remote Brake Reservoir

    Very. Being right behind the driver's seat insures I check it religiously before I hop in and start it up.

    Remote Brake Reservoir

    Someone asked for a pic of the remote brake reservoir behind the driver's seat, and the fittings so here goes: Again sorry about the pic quality. There is an isolation valve and a quick disconnect fitting right below it.

    Finally......

    Well....took it out for a few hours on country roads to day and got used to it. Then took it in town and got some fuel. No problems in traffic. I am going to have to get used to the amount of attention that goes with it I guess. This thing actually sits higher with these tires than a...

    On a side note I have never been to Haspin. I plan on this year being my first. From watching some of the Youtube videos though....with some of those tight turns...driving that thing through would be like trying to thread a needle with a freight train lol. Not saying one of you guys couldn't do...

    I was thinking in Indiana we could get a yearly oversize permit, as long as it isn't driven after dark? Might be worth checking in to. I think I might have seen it either on the DMV website, or in the Indiana CDL study manual.

    Finally......

    Not to sound like a total idiot (well...I do from time to time lol) but what exactly is "double clutching:? I have heard the term before...mostly in trucker circles, but never knew what it meant.

    Finally......

    Will try to get a few pics this weekend, and will make sure to get one of the reservoir and disconnect. Looks like a standard female brass quick disconnect on an air hose.

    Finally......

    I will hopefully get a chance to do that this weekend before I drive it again. Speaking of driving...that's definitely gonna take some getting used to. I seem to sit about 6 feet above the road with those tires lol.

    Finally......

    Finally got my deuce. Turned out to be a '69 wo/w on 15.5/85r20s (I think). Pics to come later this week as the weather has been crappy and I work nights :P Also came with 2 spares for the big tires unmounted, and all the original wheels and 9.0 NDTs. I can absolutely not believe how smooth this...
