You know it does look just like it. I'll double check when I get home later as I don't recall taking note to if the screwdriver holes go all the way through. Bottom line I don't know if it is re painted one from harbor freight or it was copied from. Either way it is a cool idea and works well...

Okay well in spite of the work schedule and unending rain here I managed to get a few things done today. First off, I was able to seal up my fuel sending unit, which once I removed it I discovered it never had a gasket on it to begin with. And a gasket with a light film of RVT on both sides...

Well I got mine and it worked perfect. I have a deuce which is much louder than a 5 ton but it has a Donaldson muffler so it isn't as bad as a straight pipe. The installation was quick and easy. If I put the original green cover over the bulb it is very quiet but after drilling a couple 1/8"...

I ordered them from an online vendor. They are an inexpensive mod. I ordered mine from Big Mike's motorpool. Definitely look around as I found that his kit wasn't complete. You only get the valves and then need to locate and purchase the elbow, strap for cable, and bolt that mounts the strap...

I like the air tank drains as well. Allows you to do it without crawling under the truck and at 6'4" it makes that easier. The headlight conversion was really simple. I feel it was well worth it. The pair of lights from those military guys was about 55.00. Seemed like a relatively inexpensive...

Here are some pics of the airtank drain install. First pic is the original set up, second is the nipple. Then all done, I just need to shorten the cables.

Okay, well got a few more small things done yesterday. Hopefully later today I'll be able to work on it some more. Yesterday I installed new H4 headlights that I got from those military guys, new rubber pedal pads, new speedometer cable, and a set of airtank drains. All went well, except I had...

Horn sounds great!! I'll P.M. you the address. I'm posting some other pics as well.

Well at the suggestion of a few others I figured I'd start a mod thread for my deuce. As many of you may or may not know I just picked up my deuce the weekend of July 31st and June 1st from Steel Soldiers member FORD MECHANIC in north Carolina. Here is the link to my recovery thread which was a...

They are 395 Goodyear MVTs on A3 rims with beadlocks.

Hello guys, not trying to just resurrect an old thread. My speedocable is leaking, haven't replaced it yet but I bought a new cable. Anyone know if they come with the seal you guys were talking about?

Thanks Mike, really can't thank you enough. You went above and beyond to help me and really made the whole experience a complete pleasure. The truck definitely went to a good home and I'll keep you and the rest of the forum posted as changes occur. By the way...you lit the bug in my buddy Mark...

That is a great idea, others have so I guess it is my turn....lol

The trip was blast. The friend of mine that went with me has been a close friend since we were in high school. It was great to be able to take off for a few days and just be immersed in a common interest. I was fortunate in that my recovery trip will be a nice memory for years to come and not a...

Okay, so we got to Berlin Maryland about 10:00 Saturday night. Parked the truck, cooled it down and went inside to enjoy a couple cold ones. Sunday morning we got up and let to head North at about 12 noon. Got home to North east PA about 6:30 and that included dropping my buddy off and the...

Well the trip went very well. Left Friday night as planned with the car loaded with tools and fluids. Got to Berlin Maryland that night and left Saturday morning for N.C. Got to Ford Mechanic's house in North Carolina about 12 noon. First off I have to say that Ford Mechanic was awesome to work...

Looks great Dan! I can't wait to start working on mine!!

Good morning everyone! Well it is Saturday morning in Berlin, Maryland. We are going to be heading out for N.C. After some coffee and breakfast. I'll keep everyone posted and take pics.

Well got my insurance squared away the other day and just registered my deuce today. Decided to go class 7 which will cover me up to 21k lbs. leaving tomorrow night to head down to pick up deuce. Will be down in N.C. By lunchtime on Saturday. The only real prep the truck needs is I'm going to...

If it has an open diff and both wheels are off the ground that is normal. The rotational force takes the path of least resistance which is to spin diff which rotates the opposite side in the opposite direction. If you lock up the other wheel as mentioned above, the power should then rotate the...
