You might be able to heat it enough from the outside with a heat gun. Filling a fuel tank with water to make it torch- or welding-safe is not foolproof. I recall that the Army recommended running the exhaust from a diesel engine through the tank. There will not be any oxygen and therefore you...

Everyone's a critic! Obviously I did not mean frozen like ice cream, I meant frozen like the rusty old bolts on a muffler -- or, like when the brake lining return springs are somewhat on strike.

Wet noodle time, I hope not anyway. I don't know what you were holding up with that bottle jack on top of the concrete block. If it was anything that could conk you on the noggin, you were asking for trouble. Blocks have very little strength in that direction - sideways, with the load on the...

Or, brake shoes stuck.

Well, I am covered on 1 thru 5 so I am half way there! :) :) :)

Sounds like mine.....

Nicely recovered, good field expedient repairs, congratulations on a safe trip home. Curious - how fast were you running to get that 10 mpg?

Just keep it up with this thread - I am already jealous as the dickens; please don't make it worse. :)

I'm trying to not have to reinvent the wheel here, as clearly some folks have already figured this out. I would love it if someone would post the stock number for NAPA GL-1 with MT-1, and also NAPA GL-5 with MT-1. My local NAPA counter people are not motivated to help a customer divine this...

Doe anyone know what the above NAPA products say on the label? IOW, will the label clearly state 'GL1 with MT-1' (or whatever), or is this a spec issue and the label will actually say 'NAPA Super Duper Luby Doo'? Reason I ask is that I previously was once in gear lube h**l with an OT vehicle...

That's a good looking truck. Very nice stance. It's different, and different is good when it looks like that.

That looks like a better starting point than the HF unit. Truss rod (such as it is), etc. Nice find!

This thread is faitry old, so perhaps you no longer need a reply to this specific question. Since, however, the thread seemed to take a certain direction, and I do not remember seeing a specific response to the diagram you posted, I thought I would take a shot. If you connect two batteries in...

That's really interesting. I had actually been wondering about something along those lines, as my Deuce has a receiver, and I would like to be able to use the same setup on my pick-em-up. I have been waffling between buying a crane and electric winch that I would somehow adapt to be practical...

My Deuce has single 11.00 x 20 tires on the rear; it now looks exactly like Toddm's 'before' picture. I would really like to run dual 11.00 x 20s on the rear, as he has. My question is this: I now have 4 11:00 x 20 tires on the rear that have been on there for some time. That means the...

When a tank rusts through to a pin hole, usually the metal in the immediate area is quite a bit thinner. I have had tanks with one or two pin holes and the process of sanding, as you described, all of a sudden presented a dozen or so more. Whether you solder, braze or JB Weld (I prefer Marine...

I would imagine that the wipers and horns don't need oil. If the delivery rate is way down as already recommended, it should not matter. If things get sloppy, you can add an oil separator to the wipers/horns. I recently lubricated the front and rear of my air pack with air tool oil. At first...

When you have been behind the wheel of your Deuce for four hours and you stop for fuel, and you go into the quickie mart to buy that huge cup of coffee you have been dreaming about for the entire drive, and you make yourself a perfect 24 oz cup of hot coffee with just the right amount of cream...

This is the same stuff my Deuce's PO swore by. I have continued to use it but I am about to run out. I'll get more, but in the mean time I added some 2 cycle oil.
