    Deuce + Shelter = Camper RV

    Nice equipment rack inside! !! The truck might be a little tippy with that shelter once it's built out, but that goes with the territory. Note the final height for when you negotiate low bridges.

    Deuce Antenna mount

    What are those twisty/pointy things on the lug nuts?

    Deuce Antenna mount

    The closest thing to a military GMRS antenna that I'm aware of is a discone, too big for a deuce. There might be an aircraft antenna of some sort available but I don't know. If you need a GMRS, best to find a small one like the cop cars use and put it somewhere it won't show. It can be painted...

    AVM vs Ouverson: take a closer look!

    Or Just find some Selectros.. I find this thread very educational about how different hubs are made, and I find the 'agrument' about brand-scheming (for lack of a better term) to be entertaining. FWIW I doubt I could break any of the hubs shown so far, even with the 3 tons in the bed. I bet I...

    new toy for the Deuce

    Nice genset! 60Hz? I'd wager it can be switched to 240V single phase, or converted to it.

    solid state vibrator replacement

    I apologize for not having gone through the box of them that I have, but I have not seen this thread in a while. If you find it new fot $7.95 I would suggest getting a spare as well.

    AVM vs Ouverson: take a closer look!

    RE: Re: RE: AVM hubs my bad. dabtl's quote.. I guess "the names go in before the quotes go on" should be the slogan.

    AVM vs Ouverson: take a closer look!

    Re: RE: AVM hubs There were consequences, but most of the drooling TV-watching public wouldn't notice. I repaired RCA and Zenith TV sets (among others) professionally for 15 years. Each one had its ephemeral good points from chassis to chassis. The better picture tube design alternated between...

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Air comming out of air cleaner looks melted? I think it will make a nice ashtray. At least you found out now and not somewhere along the road.

    Radio Antenna Bases

    actually there is a better way involving using the lowest frequency setting on the base and changing the value of a capacitor inside. The instructions are on the www somewhere, or were. The mast does not make a perfect match to the CB alone, it needs a matching network. If you want a CB...

    Radio Antenna Bases

    Here is the SWR curve I measured of the AS-3684 SINCGARS antenna unit, substantially similar to and the predecessor of the AS-3900. Like the AS-3900 unit, it requires no tuning. Also, for fun I have included the curve of the AT-667. It is made for 148-171 MHz, but will work decently on the 2M...

    solid state vibrator replacement

    No he means an aftermarket or home-made device that usually plugs into the vibrator socket in the radio. In the radio, the vibrator is not a buzzer, it is an electromechanical polarity-reversing switch that converts DC to AC and applies this AC to a power transformer so that the proper voltages...

    DEUCE spin on oil filters!!!!

    I used NAPA 1970XE filters, provided in a kit from Builder77. I don't know if he is still making the kits. These are big, tall filters, each with a flow rating enough for the engine, and combining this high flow rate with the 5 micron rating seemed a wise choice at the time. There have been no...

    PRC-77 home made battery

    Very good! the original batteries sometimes sold in various places are usually worthless except for such a mod. Note for those with a PRC-25 - be very careful to supply the correct voltage of 2.5V to the 2DF4 tube. Mnay people use 3V (2 D cells), which is OK but not truly correct.

    How to wire a dome light.

    I took power from the battery box, routed up through the cutouts in the floor under the passenger seat, to some electronics mounted behind the passenger seat, and from there to the lights. I also have a loom of #12 wire from the back-of-seat connections running back down through the hole, under...
