Looking good ! You can never have too many lights !

I'm sure you mean "where does the air compressor draw it's air from" correct ? If you look at the air compressor you will see an approximant 2" X 3" square metal housing near the top of the compressor head. That is the filter intake. There should be a course fiber material inside the housing...

Chevy straight six engines all had super tight clearances because of the longer stroke used in these engines. So the rod bolts had to have an "angle" cut in them so they could clear the engine block under the cylinder. If you install the rod bolts incorrectly you will hit the bottom of the...

What he said. Alcohol systems are really old school when it comes to keeping water out of the air lines. They were basically all discontinued by the 1970's as they found the alcohol ate up the seals in the air system. Really sucks to find you have no brakes because the brake application valve...

Disconnect the cable and spray some teflon fluid (your choice of brand) in it. Then work the cable back and forth. Sometimes you can get a small piece of debris in the cable and it acts like a oneway lock. As far as the water goes. Remember you get a wild temperature swing from day to night in...

They make a 24 volt model. You can also order the 24 volt heater kit separately

Thanks HDN .

It's fairly easy to go from 1st to 2nd . You cannot go from 2nd to 1st though since 1st has no synchro's. When I drove the Deuce with the platoon in back, I had to stop the truck at stop lights. Then put the truck in 1st. Then start the truck up in gear and go from there. Thankfully the...

Totally agree.

Now take that up one notch and learn to shift without using the clutch. It is a real good feeling to be able to shift by throttle and engine RPM alone. I had to drive a platoon of my fellow Marines back to base after the clutch got stuck and would not release. That was three hours of fun !

Your right. I shouldn't post when I'm tired. Though a simple "the steering assist uses air" would have sufficed.

Good to hear all is well !

Any vehicle that has power steering can make a screeching noise when turned to the knuckle stops. The over-pressure valve is relieving pressure and it makes a squealing sound. That being said your truck does not have a standard power steering system . It has an air powered "steering assist" drag...

Yeah I've seen this happen a few times. The problem is there is so much that can be damaged by an over-rev'ed engine. Like "ToddJK" mentioned you can have damage to the crank bearings, but more importantly your piston rods can be bent. Seen one engine that bent all six rods just "slightly" ...

That's a good price. Considering the market has all but dried up on Deuce's, (everyone has gone to the newer trucks) anyone making parts for them doesn't have much of a chance of making a profit. Their making them for the love of the Deuce at this point.

Here's hoping they don't find anything bad !

Hate to say it but you might have clutch damage. That screeching sound is a lack of fluid and the clutch trying to engage. That is also why your performance is bad. The clutch packs are slipping. There are not many transmission shops left that can work on a AT1540/AT540 transmission. Even though...

Thanks !

OK, that was funny !!!

That's a great find ! Who did you buy those from ?
