In my quest to make our deuce more versatile I am trying to figure out a way to make the cab comfortable for the three of use while traveling. My dilemma is I do not want to sacrifice bed space but I also do not want to stretch the frame. So, the only reasonable solution I can come up with is...

As any old Dodge truck enthusiast knows, there is not a lot of aftermarket support for our trucks. I am fighting an uphill battle now trying to locate the parts I require for the auxiliary fuel tank on my 72 D200. I have been all over the internet and called multiple places in hopes of locating...

I am trying to lay out my next deuce build. I am going from the ground up to make this one suitable for just about everything we do. One problem I cannot seem to get past it whether or not I should convert it to 12 volt. Originally I was just going to use an inverter to power stuff like my...

I bought this hoist five or six years ago. I have been shuffling it around ever since. I figured it was time to get it off the shelf and installed on something. My Tugger seems like a good choice. Here are some photographs from the un-boxing, the mock up and an after wash shot. My truck was...

If we end up selling the deuce I currently have foe sale (I hope not but we need the money) I will have this one left. It is also an 87 Air Force truck with all the nice stuff that came on them in 87 for the Air Force. But it needs some work. When I got the truck it was missing a lot of parts...

I am just wondering if anyone here has converted a deuce to four wheel drive without making it shorter. If you have what kind of differences has it made? I am under the mindset that I want a deuce because I want a six wheel drive truck. But I have caught myself wondering how a deuce would do...

Deuce trouble I wanted to pick your brains and see if you could help me with what could be a major or minor issue with my 1987 deuce. I have only had to back it up a couple of times. Each time was a bit difficult but I just figured it was different from the older 67 Deuce I was driving. Now, it...

How do the trailer brakes work on these trailers? I have two empty drums and crimped off brake lines. Is it really worth dropping the money to get it all working again? Also, how do the brakes know when to engage? I am assuming the big rectangular object on the tongue has something to do with that.

I contacted a place in either North or South Carolina a few months back and now I need to get in touch with them again. For the life of me I cannot remember their name or which state they are in. I thought the name may have been Jerry’s but I cannot locate them now if it is. Maybe if some of you...

I know a lot of questions have been asked about getting deuces insured. But I am having a year and brand specific problem. We just sold our 1967 Kaiser Jeep and it was easy and very cheap to insure. Now we are trying to get my 1987 AM General insured and we are hitting brick walls. The issues we...

I took my 87 Air Force deuce for a drive around the block today. It has been sitting for a couple of months at least. When I returned I noticed the sending unit was still running. I gave it a little while to see if it will shut off on its own and it did not. I had to end up unplugging it. What...

I do not have a 24V test light so I do not know which wire to tap into for my tag light. Sooo, I was hoping to get some guidance on this?

This truck now starts and runs great. It is also tagged, registered, insured and street legal. When I got it the truck ran but the throttle did not work and had to be jump started. I made many repairs and replaced several parts which I have listed below. This truck has turned into a build...

We were able to tag and insure Bert. I used an old bracket from god only knows where that I think my dad had lying around long before I had it lying around. So now the challenge is I have to install a tag light. I would really like to avoid a citation. Because money is so tight I would like to...

I just read a how to article on turning up the fuel on a deuce injection pump. What kind of real gains are there if I do that? Also, are there any adverse effects? Have any of you done it and if so what kind of difference does it make. I searched for a thread on this subject but the information...

I have posted a lot of questions about a throttle issue I was having with my deuce Bert. Several people told me it is not a big deal the truck just needs to be driven. The problem I was having is the throttle was really stiff and I was afraid it might lead to bigger problems. Well, this past...

I really want a deuce tanker for hauling fuel. But they are selling for way more than I can pay and I doubt that will change. So, I have a good truck (Bert) now that needs only a paint job and a little throttle work. Everything else on the truck is in good shape and it runs nice. What kind of...

I am having some trouble with the injector pump in my deuce. The first issue in the stiffness of the go pedal. I have tracked it down to the piece the linkage connects to. I have loosened it quite a bit, but it is still very stiff. The other (and I am not sure if this is because of the IP) the...

I have been looking forward to getting these installed.

First off for the record I am not and never have been a fan of parting trucks. However, the cost to get one of the deuces I have back on the road if far greater than I can manage right now. The worst part is I pad way too much for it to begin with. Being since we need money badly right now so I...
