Maybe use a better term here, in the future... Also, if you search in evil-bay for "mrap adapter plates" you'll see some for ~$100 each. You're not likely to find less than this price.

What about noises you should be listening for, like sirens, can you still hear them?

Well, that was informative. So, Boyce doesn't do 22.5, but they referred me to a company in eastern Washington (Kennewick) that will do the larger wheels, plus they're close enough (300 miles) for me to pick up. A 22.5x14 (steel only), for the deuce is $570, painted & 2 weeks to make. Powder...

So, this is kind of experimental at this point. I currently have adapter plates on MRAP wheels (super singles). Which work fine, but no tire place will touch them. I've been thinking of getting a wheel specifically fit for the deuce. Now, I know there is a shop in the US (somewhere in the...

As it stands now, I'm not worried at all. I think the most likely scenario is a drunk ex-miltary who decides to go for a joy ride (I chain the steering). I'm just thinking about the future. Eventually, I hope to have some stuff in the cab worth stealing. I've also dumped a lot of money in...

I'm not really concerned about it getting stolen in the US...

So, there's a thread on this. But I have State Farm on mine, it's listed with them as a collector vehicle, and as long as I drive it less than 6k miles a year it's like $40/mo (bundled with my other cars). That's just for liability. At a certain point, I want to insure it against theft, not...

I removed most of the padding from the seat back. Probably gained 2-3 inches of space that way.

If you decide to go with 395's there are also a few different wheel types available. Really, it mostly depends on your budget. Adapter plates have gotten difficult & expensive enough, lately (actually I went on evil bay just now and they're about $100/ea), that going with a wheel might be the...

Looks like a cable for a radio. 8-pin connector was used on some military radios I believe.

Thanks. I'm busy this week, but I'll dig into it Sunday. Just have to run through potential solutions until something works. It's not the same problem he was having, though. It's not starved for power, it even seems to have a bit more...but that might be because the leak is gone. I drove...

Spoke too soon. When I went to pick it up, it started up just fine, idling at 800. On the highway in a couple minutes and it's feeling pretty good, first light I come to, I put it in neutral well before the light (I don't downshift when slowing down, it's a pita enough shifting in this truck to...

Got my truck back from having air lockers installed. While it was there I had them mount a second fuel tank on the driver's side. The lip from the tool box had to be cut flush with the box, and the step into the cab had to be trimmed back as well. This is an 81 gallon tank. Also had an air...

Don't know OP's age, but after driving a few thousand miles, I've really gotten used to the armstrong steering even at slow speeds, I just need the truck to move any speed and I can turn the wheel. I don't feel that power steering is necessary unless everything else is done and you've got an...

Ok, so the guy was busy all week and got back into to it today. He tried a few things and in the end replaced the filters & cleaned a fuel line at the same time and the problem went away. So, I guess there was debris somewhere. It'll be good to get it back, my neighbors are probably sighing...

Of my 13 points above, #1 is mounted, but not hooked up, #'s 4, 5 & 8 are done, and I expect to have #7 & 11 done in a month or two. Since I made this list, I've also added air lockers and hope to have door locks by the end of the month. I've gotten some of the sound insulation installed, but...

Nice having a vehicle where you just don't have to worry about little dings.

What do you intend to do with it?

I was researching isolation mounts for my cab mounted computer and came across a manufacturer that may be worth looking at. I would think for the deuce application, as long as it meets the specs it doesn't have to be a military part (unless you need that for your restoration). Anyways, maybe...
