First let me apologize for starting another thread but I wasn't getting an answer putting this question on my original thread. Just want to confirm this looks OK to ya'all. OK, got the upgrade kit and.. uhh arggh mine of course looks and is set up different than most. Now my truck was a...

I have the 395's on stock rims. They work great and sometimes downhill with a little momentum you can start off in 2nd. But reading allot of posts lately I am starting out in 1st most of the time on flat or inclines. With 395's on stock rims you will get some rubbing on a hard right turn...

Floridianson, every time I see your avatar.. I want to get a 5 ton!

No primer, just a good wash before. I figured with flat black I could always touch up and it would look good. Have fun reading up..

My Deuce was the typical OD. I painted right over it with some Rustoleum flat black in a HVLP paint sprayer. Didn't have any problem with adhesion. Painted in Nov and still today no prob.. Good luck with the paint job!

Ah ha.. I wanted to install an extra instrument illumination light there..

OK, got the upgrade kit and.. uhh arggh mine of course looks and is set up different than most. Now my truck was a firetruck so perhaps that's why I don't have an air line running to the back of the truck for trailer brakes. Take a look at the pic. I actually didn't need most of the kit...

Where did you install it? Any pics? I would assume you would just have to drill a hole somewhere in the dash no?

Yeah don't get a Deuce if you don't want attention! I get someone asking me something just about every time I go out. I have the most fun parking in the contractors parking at Home Depot.. Then they ask about the mileage and I tell them "better than yours" 13 MPG but I only pay for half due...

Welcome, I was looking for a bobbed deuce and found one in your area on Craigslist.. that was back in Nov. I bought mine local so perhaps it's still around there somewhere. Welcome to the addiction.. It's true how they/we call it that.

:ditto: all of the above..

Would be cool to see a deuce in that driveway with some 395's rubbing up against those curbs.. then after an hour the HOA would be a knockin..:)

Deucenut, you're doing the right thing, I didn't research to see how far your recovery is but I posted up a good rebuild on the airpack, don't have the link handy but it's called "My Airpack rebuild with Photos", it's not something I would try in a parking lot so you are going about it right...

I want a set like that but like crazywelder I am thinking of kid #2 not yet here yet or even conceived.. still practicing..:) anyway I was thinking, any one mod up a springer seat under the bench.. not sure if there is enough room for two springers.. probably not.. Crazywelder that may be a...

Also, see the item #15 in doghead's post. this is a spacer in there that helps the cable to move freely, mine is missing but still moves, to get it to move fully sometimes I need to grab the top of the cable and move it forward a little. I just stick my finger in behind the cable before I pull...

When you move it see if anything moves out at the brake itself, if you lift the handle up and the brake arm moves then your cable is OK. My cable was seized.. the handle moved like yours about 1/2 inch but nothing was happening back at the brake itself. I tried some penetrating oil but it...

Is the handbrake inside the cab attached firmly and work properly? That's the only other place where there are brackets that can be removed. Mine had nothing when I got it so I had to rebuild from scratch..

Holy cow I was right about something on my deuce.. First time for everything!! Just a few months ago I couldn't find the Master Cylinder!!! Never too old to learn!

Dang! I want a set like that! Any sellers?

I heard people are getting around .70-$1.00 a gallon for it.. I still find some for free!
