was down at DMV for a few hours yesterday registering the deuce. First step, VIN inspection that was easy as pie and they could have cared less what I was driving, whether it was safe, what it even was, as long as that VIN matched. BTW, there should be one stamped on the frame in the front...
some Vietnam snapshots:

what I'm looking for is pictures or information on the standard method of vehicle loading into a deuce. Some sort of ramps? I want to make some styled like the originals (mostly because I know it would work then) to load my t-bucket in th bed. It's small enough it should fit with adequate room...

that's what I modeled mine after- well, orginally I used only a 2 inch pipe to clear the axle, I didn't know about the bearing nut cause I made them before I had the truck :( Anyhow, they're done now using mostly scrap metal and they don look TOO bad <img...
I've got just the pic for you- I prepped and painted one side, but left the other rusty and took a picture- it's quite a contrast!
Will upload tomorrow. The beauty of Por-15 (well, not if you want a smooth finish) is that you really should apply it on the rust, it warns that you don't want to...
what I think I'll do is come up with a nice little contraption that consists of a couple bars on each side, run long heavy duty all thread through the wheels out the other side to connect to some maore bars. Like a portable tire cage. Or even construct a small cage in two halves that will bolt...
something I'm going to do for truck and maybe even the deuce is to Rhino line the whole interior. Well, not the whole interior, but the firewall, the floor, and around the back of the cab. In my truck I'll do the roof as well. Then I can get rid of the carpet and sagging headliner and crappy...
turned out pretty nice. Total time was about 2 hours. The bed is a lot bigger than it looks when you're on your knees with a scraper and wire brush!
Looks nice and clean now, no more rust. I also drilled an additional drain hole on each side, and enlarged the standard ones. They had, of...
the best way I've seen it described is it "represents the effects of the vehicle on a bridge while crossing it. The effect is a combination of gross weight, weight distribution of the vehicle, speed at which the vehicle crosses the bridge, and the impact loading of the vehicle on the bridge"...
some more good gun trucks:

My tires are all hovering around 42-45 psi and I want to fill them 55.
Is it safe to do so? 42 psi is less than 80% of the tire's normal psi, 45 is just over. So what do I do now? <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shrug.gif" alt="Shrug">
it's the back ones that are lower, so at least when I...
just chillin' out:

and the M35A3. I don't know about you, but what happened to the front end? The hood looks slanted upwards and it looks too fat:

well, I whipped them up this weekend and they look like my drawing.
BUT, I really noticed no difference at all? <img src="emoticons/icon_smilie_bitchin.gif" alt="Bitchin">
all that time and effort and material and $$$ filler rod and I noticed no drop in RPM at any given speed, no difference...
