Got a bunch of solar-powered yard lights from a neighbor who felt it was time for a couple new sets outside her house. I promptly stripped them of thier solar panels, broke out my Volt/Ohm Meter, soldering iron, solder, lead wire and double-stick tape. After checking each of the panels in direct...

Does it make THAT big of a difference? The water goes through it and warms it up to heat the air passing through. Does it matter which way the water is going?

Oops, I almost forgot to post the top secret photo of my SHTF supplies. :mrgreen:

A few days ago, I was planning to post a few pics of the latest progress on Project "Corporal Punishment" along with shots of the freshly buffed off tires and when I fired up the truck, NO AIR! :mad: When I got into tracking the problem, (process of elimination) I concluded the problem had to be...

A deuce actually getting up to 88 MPH? Now that's funny right there, I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there! rofl

That thought crossed my mind when I bobbed my 72 KJ M35A2. Come to find that the intermediate shaft from the intermediate axle to the tag axle is a smaller piece in both diameter and U-joint size. The slip joint is also considerably smaller. The cheapest way and IMHO the easiest way to go is do...

OK, so you bobbed a 109? I only have this to say. nopics

I'd start with the needle scaler and do the finish cleanup and metal prep by blasting. The needle scaler will knock off the flake rust and paint, but won't touch the good bonded paint or deep rust. Sandblasting will take what the scaler didn't and leave a good "tooth" to the surface of the metal...

Congrats on your aquisition! What's the plan? Restoration? Modification? Bobbing perhaps? Where are ya going with your green iron? Keep us posted!

Well shoot, would a crusty old bobbed deuce be welcome at this little shin-dig?

Looks like you're off to a great start! I wish I had access to an oxy-aceteline rig and a tractor to help with the heavy stuff when I bobbed my deuce! All I had was a pair of comealongs, a few lengths of different size pipe for prying, and the power of gravity! I had to borrow a hoist to get the...

Door Fix Detail Reply TAKE TWO. Step 1. Remove the cotter pin that holds the limiter rod through the door and slide the limiter rod back in to the door jamb leaving about 1 inch outside the jamb. Step 2. Open the kick vent and reach into the top of the vent opening from the outside of the cab...

After countless times opening up my door to get something outta the cab and having the wind slam the door window into the mirrors, I finally corrected that problem. Using a hole punch (cheap one for paper) I punched several holes in the middle of the diamond pattern in a remnant of the material...

In keeping with my "on the cheap" motif, I utilized the brake reservior from the M105 I butchered when I bobbed my truck. I mounted it inside the driver's seat box, connected a 1/2" clear hose from it to the vent in the truck's reservior cap for added fluid capacity. I also added a male air...

If the winch is installed, make sure the lever on the winch it's self is in the "OUT" position according to the markings on the lever, or if the winch isn't on yet, cool. Start the engine and at idle, step on the clutch, engage the PTO and let off the clutch. the PTO and/or propellar shaft...

I scored a couple pieces of diamond plate pattern rubber mat. I trimmed them to fit the floor wells on both sides of the cab of my bobbed deuce. They look super cool, and from what I can tell, they manage to dampen engine noise a little bit too. Gotta love that! :driver:

Great question Jim! I originally left the extra 18" between the cab and bed for a custom tool box/gun locker, but that hasn't been built yet. However since I'm getting ready to move to Texas from The People's Republik of Kommiefornia, I built the platform that the barrels are sitting on and will...

OK, it was last week, but my computer was down for almost a year and just got fixed. I trimmed some boards for uprights for the M105 bed on my bobbed deuce. I improvised some side boards to toss a Harbor Freight camo plastic tarp over and tie down to protect all our stuff for the big move too...

Here's a "before and after" of my bobbed deuce project "Corporal Punishment". It was a lotta work, but absolutely worth it!

If that's all that's wrong with that deuce, it doesn't sound too bad at all. That can all be resolved in a weekend once you get all the parts together. Check out Jatonka's, Memphis Equipment, Boyce Equipment, and C&C Equipment for the parts you need. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
