    Installed remote brake reservoir today

    If the plastic line would work you would have the advantage of seeing air bubbles and presence of fluid and could use a homade container that was not clear .If the fluid in the hose droped you would know you had a problem . I think I will give it a try . I have a hard time paying for a container...

    GL was easy!

    I like the 20 minute rule . That way if someone waits to outbid you the last 5 seconds it gives you 20 minutes to make another bid . Without the 20 minute rule you would not have time to rebid if someone bids that last 3 seconds .

    Thumper in the morning

    Soft compound tires on my Vette would do that after sitting only a few days . Gets flat spots while sitting . After about 5 miles of intersate it would go away . I have also noticed on the deuce the shaking in the frontend at higher speeds will go away after tires warm up .

    FNG from Sparta WI

    I would think a drive to the car wash to wash your MV or gas station for fuel would all be a part of maintenance

    Why I won't drive Civillian...... Unimog Wins!

    My guess is his problem with IL is to license and title a Deuce in IL is expensive . You need commercial plates ( Antiuqe plates are good for 8000 pounds MAX . And some insurance companies want commercial insurance . My guess is Kyle is like me . He drives his truck to a lot more than car shows...

    Which way???

    A good point from Wreckerman . If you are only going to buy one truck GL is very time consuming and in the end not as cheap as you think it is . Some trucks on GL are going for the same prices in the classifieds , maybe even more after buyers premium , taxes and SF 97 fees . Another good reason...

    Got my SF97's, they are so wrong.

    If you go with 1985 would that take you out of the antiuqe plate catagory ? It may not hurt to at least try to see if the dmv will put the correct info on the new tittles . with the vin # some the of the guys on SS could prbally tell you the year of your trucks

    Sales tax and SF-97/Title charges?

    When you go to get a tittle your state will charge you sales tax , ( if you have not paid sales tax when you bought it . That is why you see trucks for sale without tittle .

    Painting over CARC with subsitute....

    machine sand ( da sander ) with 320 . Degrease and paint . no need for primer unless you sand to bare metal . If you are crazy about not breathing the dust use resperator or wet sand with 400 . If sanded good you should get rid of any texture or other misc. imperfections from the old paint job .

    Legality of a Deuce in IL, and is 40k miles too much?

    I would be more afraid of a truck with actual low miles than higher mileage . All these trucks probably sit too much , which gives them problems . The low mileage can have more problems then the higher mileage trucks . Just recovered two trucks with no brakes . The one with 35000 miles I just...
