Thanks guys! I heard from Dave today. Truck is supposed to be picked up sometime late this week. Tentative delivery is Monday. I can't sleep I'm so excited. Bed is ready to go on!!

Finished the trailer preparation for the bobbed deuce I bought from Dave at Eastern Surplus. The truck is supposed to arrive this week sometime. This is my first attempt at painting with a compressor--man, I'll never rattle can again!! This was a snap! Sanding and scraping carc is a major...

RE: Re: Anybody have experience with this guy? Yeah, I saw that guy in Phenix city. I sent him several emails and he ignored them all. I'm often amazed at the business practices of some of these people. I guess they're making so much money that they only need to respond to SOME of their...

RE: Re: Anybody have experience with this guy? I'm looking for some 1100 X 20s Michelin xl pattern.

RE: Re: Anybody have experience with this guy? Thanks much! It never hurts to check things out. Steve

Someone mentioned checking an engine for hydrolock before starting. I thought hydrolock was water in the cylinder (s). Since water can't be compressed, attempting to start the engine would cause damage to rods, pistons etc. So, my question: how do you check for it in a diesel engine when you...

Wow, if I'd have read this thread before buying my deuce, I wouldn't have! I plan on driving mine to work occassionally and to fetch home improvement project supplies. It sounds REAL dangerous based on this thread!

motorolanut, Could you post a picture or drawing of the support you describe above? My brain works best with pictures or drawins. Thanks. Steve

RE: lube trailer in SC on GSA auction That's a cool lookin' trailer. Is that on 16 or 20 inch rims?

I found a source for my michelin xl tires. The guys name is Rodney out of Wisconsin. He works on ebay--has good feedback with the tires. Just wanted to know if he's on the up and up? Thanks. Steve

Thanks!

Can I mount 1100 x 20 michelin xl tires on my standard deuce rim? If so, what size inner tube do I buy? Thanks. Steve

RE: Re: RE: I have some questions, about my new 5ton. Thank you!

There's a fellow in our club (first florida chapter of the MVPA) who did this to a 5 ton (as buggyman indicates). He kept the original spring pack on the rear, removed the rear axle, and made a stanchion to hold the rear part of the spring pack in place. Very nice work. Steve

Chad, Nice truck! I like the keeper you have on it behind the cab. Could you post a picture from behind so I can see it better? I'm getting a bobbed M35A2 and would like to use a keeper like you've got. Thanks! Steve

Thanks.

Jason, Thanks. A picture or two would be great! If you need my email let me know. Steve

I looked through the manuals and couldn't find the width. Can someone tell me the width of the frame (outside to outside) an the back under the bed? Thanks! Steve

Joe, Nice work! I'm a wimp--I bought my deuce from Dave at Eastern Surplus. He's the one who cut it down to accept an M105 bed. You can see an example on his website: http://www.easternsurplus.net/images/kentva5.jpg. My truck is similar to this, except I wanted singles on the rear. I want to...

Jason, Those extensions on the trailer, are they the right width already? In other words, with them in place, do they fit right up on the duece frame rails? Why do you have to extend them? If you could send a picture or two, I'd be greatly appreciiatiive. Thanks. Steve
