One of my concerns - I don't mind reinforcing the Deuce tailgate but I do not want to bugger up the appearance of the truck.

How about you search Google maps for directions to my house. Just bring that toy of yours and be prepared to stay for a couple of months. It will save me the cost and effor of doing this, and it looks like that thing can lift 700 lbs no problem. :)

Was that with the stock hand winch or the electric one (see link in my original post)? I am expecting to have to do some reengineering. The HF units are mostly raw material.

I always seem to be loading and unloading heavy objects in and out of my Deuce in situations where ramps or loading docks are not practical. I am considering setting up a truck crane that I can mount on the tailgate when needed. The stuff I lift tends to be small in volume and up to 600 or 700...

I have a WWII-era PE-95 genset in my house. It is a Willys 4 banger flathead. Probably 40 HP on a good day. The PE-95 is approximately a 10 KW unit although it has some overload capacity. It runs everything I need to run in my house with enough to spare to run an extension cord for a...

That is very cool. The motor will be very happy at 1800 rpm. What did he do about a governor?

I like your attitude and I wish you well with this undertaking. I know that area a bit, between Billings and Shell WY; it is beautiful country but extremely desolate. Sounds like even more so where you are headed. There is no such thing as a nearby service station up there. You have got to...

Yeah, I figured that out before I posted, I just did not understand the context of why it was considered some sort of insult.

DOT 5 can harbor millions of tiny air bubbles and this is the reason for the spongy feel or, in some cases, an inability to bleed the system. (more pronounced in lower pressure, lower swept volume braking systems as on a motorcycle). Never shake DOT 5 as this introduces bubbles. Let the...

The military always has the coolest stuff. And then, sometimes, 40 years later we get to have it for ourselves.

Will you go with flat, satin or whatever BEHR-matched 24087? Could you please post the BEHR codes that match to 24087?

Has anyone had the BEHR paint on long enough to see if rusty areas continue to rust underneath the paint? Also, pretty much all Deuces have spot areas of rust. Do you just apply the BEHR over the rust spots? Or, do you prime the rust, and if so, with what type of primer? And, did you just...

OK, flame me if you must, but what is a RENOB?

Good point; I don't know if it has been done. Someone added 11.00 x 20 singles before I got it. I also don't know if the PO added a fudge factor when he calculated his 14 mpg (but I doubt it). The most accurate at this point would be to calculate my actual speed (I am not a GPS kind of...

Darn, you beat me to it! Well done, sir.

And that, kids, is the difference between ignorance and apathy. :)

You can kiss a nun, but don't get into the habit.

It's time for the reverse trip. South on I-91 thru from up around White River Junction to I-84 and then south on 8. This weekend I am going to replace the brake return spring and add air tool oil to the front and rear of the air pack. (I had another thread going about some concerns I had...

Seeing the pictures and reading the descriptions of the home-brewed equipment, along with the rationale, brings to mind the manysimilar articles in my vintage Popular Science-type magazines. After WWII there were a lot of Model T parts, a lot of demand but not a lot of money or re-tooled...

If it only takes a little 'red' fuel to turn a tank red, how much WMO does it take to turn a red tank black?
