See this thread and the many links inside. I think some of the older deuces had them and sometimes they can be flipped.

No real problem on the mufflers. It is kind of under a pine tree that quiets it and the neighbors are a good distance. I now have a list of maintenance items for it. [thumbzup]
Been out since 5 pm. With the two trucks I should have about 90 gallons of diesel LOL but will shut her down later tonight and fire it up early in the morning. I did find out the screen on the tank fill is not great, it was slow filling it up.
Running the whole house, heat pump, water pump...
I can give you my hill story. M1009, drove it 5 hours after I bought it and it ran fine. At home I parked it back up on a steep hill, plenty of fresh fuel, and she died. All I got was white smoke.
Fast forward, I seemed to have sucked up crapps in the tank and broke loose a pile of brown...
I did mine that way. Lots of needle scaling, sanding, even grinding in the pitted bed. Followed that with rustoleum red primer and Gillispie semi-gloss OD. That was 2 years ago and no issues.
Good to hear you got her registered! When I picked up my first truck it had 10 extra wheels and tires in the back too. I am still using them. BTW what is the water in the background of the picture? The Kanawha River? I used to live on the West side.
Rod, don't fool around with a used one, they are available at auto parts places for maybe $150. You can get the high capacity one for the 1009 and get more miles per fill.
ETA: Get new straps too!
