    Show your 24087 painted 5 tons!!!!

    Not matter how good a regular 383 MV looks, they always seem to look better in this color (to me, anyway).

    Anybody have any specs to make spin filter adapters?

    I guess the other question is why a standpipe could not be incorporated into the stock filters or some other method used to prevent them from draining.

    Anybody have any specs to make spin filter adapters?

    A sheet metal adapter? You could probably make up a wooden form - male and female - and form them on a press.

    Every home owner needs a truck.

    My .02: The only engine worth having is a multifuel. Some like those with a whistler turbo; either is nice. I am happy to not have a front winch as it makes the truck longer and puts a lot more weight on the front end (gets it right up to the limit). A truck w/o a winch should also be less...

    Bobbed deuce vs deuce

    An old Navy guy once told me that the Navy has two types of boats: submarines, and targets.

    Anyone on SS do this??

    60 large for a dented oil pan and crooked labels. And bed liner covers a lot of sins.

    1991 Suburban front grill on a CUCV

    Maybe take the opportunity to trash the mechanical fan, and replace with an electric unit. Faster warm-ups and you can switch it off when fording.

    Self-correcting master cylinder leak?

    You are 100% correct.

    Self-correcting master cylinder leak?

    DOT 3 and DOT 5 do not mix. They agglutinate. If there was DOT 5 in your system and you replaced it with DOT 3, it is possible for the brake system to get clogged with clumps from where the two mix. It is possible that you got away with it by pressure bleeding. It sounds like you used high...

    What would you do for a Deuce

    ...seriously, now. Fear of heights will nor play into it, nor fear of flying. It's not like standing on the edge of a roof; the scale is different. The worst thing is going to be the wind as you prepare to exit the aircraft. You have no idea what that is going to be like, and none of your...

    Casspir Mercedes Engine oil filter help

    One of the best things about them is the brilliance with which they laid out their web site. It only takes moments to find whatever you are looking for, no matter how obscure.

    Casspir Mercedes Engine oil filter help

    McMaster-Carr is your friend. A couple of metric to 'real' adapters, a standard remote mount, done. McM-C: order today, get it tomorrow. I love that place.

    Extended Cab Deuce (photos)

    I think I see brake hoses to a front wheel, so perhaps they are in addition. The truck really needs the hood side panels louvered. It is a beautiful piece of work.

    Does it have to be original? If not, perhaps you can replace the filter and mount with something avaialble to you locally.

    Wow - you are not going to cut that with a tubing cutter. Thanks for posting that photo.

    Trip Preparation

    Perhaps the OP is flying out to the Deuce or is otherwise constrained by what he can bring. Obviously, once in the Deuce, carrying a bunch of stuff is no problem. To the OP, think of this in terms of risk. If you break down on the Interstate with a 13,000 lb vehicle, do you have towing...

    New to me 1962 M416

    Thanks for the info on your windshield. I had never heard of that. Does the w/s still fold down? Will one fit a Jeep YJ? (square headlight). I tow my 416 with my YJ all the time. Thanks. John
