Brentzilla, it is real easy to put locking door handles on. I bought one set over a year ago, and two more sets this week. All 3 are keyed alike, so one key gets me into all 3 trucks! Good luck on getting her running.

How about stainless for 3 cents each? Marsh Fasteners-Internal/External Star Lock Washers 410 SS

No one really owns the name of a truck in my opinion. A recent vet came by yesterday while I was working on the old girl and I offered him a ride. "No way! I rode in them enough this lifetime!" Most are anxious to jump in though. :)

I did not have a helper so it can be done by one but the engine lift is almost mandatory.

In total it is fairly easy. New seals in the PTO are usually a good idea, lots of other tips and tricks in past posts. Here is one: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/52153-installing-winch.html

That pintle hitch looks like it is in great pain! Nice job.

I forgot about the scoop! I was just thinking about the metal punch-out. Thanks Gunboy

Sounds like the heater intake. If so it is just a knock-out and you would have to fabricate a replacement. ETA are you referring to the 2 holes shown in this photo?

And still no pictures! You lose 10 points. :)

There is a little switch added to the e-brake handle. What is it wired to? Did engine oil, filter, fuel filter, tran fluid and filter yesterday. The list is getting a little shorter.

I can. It is their lot though. Some are great, some are not. Consistency is not a given. :)

I am still trying to figure out year of manufacture on mine, SN 504806 The axle tags are all late 1998.

I drove 300 miles last week. No need for pit stops, drink all the fluids you want and they just vaporize into the air!

A ground rod is important. You would wire your load to the box on the side, but it does have 2 convenience outlets on the front. They seem to be good for 1000 watts or so on a good day. Here is a pic of the MEP 003A panel, it is a 10KW whereas the 002A is 5. I think the wiring box is similar...

It is Dot 5, it just looses color with use. You can buy it surplus by the gallon, $30-50 per gal. Did you bleed it? Several threads on "how to" I re-read that you got fluid out of the wheel cylinders so you must have bled it, but it still sounds like air in the lines. Good luck

Here is your earlier post. Finally found it! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/2008-mystery-solved-origin-odd-deuce-hub.html

There was a thread about those just a few months ago. Let me go see if I can find it.

That is a work of art! Thanks for posting.

Here in WV you would probably be best to title it as a homebuilt trailer.

My meds just allow me to kill time. :) On mine the tires looked OK (except for one) but when I tire gauged them only 1 had 50, another 30 and the others didn't move the tire gauge at all. Def. plan on a gladhand hose. BTW mine had a hose in the toolbox, now I got two!
