There will be at least a 5 to 8 vehicle convoy heading down Friday afternoon from the DFW area if anybody want's to join in. We will be traveling I35 to Waco, loop 340 around Waco, Then 6 all the way in to College Station. If your interested let me know. Exact departure times will be decided at...

Looks good. Do we have a price per unit yet? Make sure you have them in 2x for us big boned fellas.

I agree. This truck in this condition is a rare bird indeed. I'd sell a kidney for the $ to buy one.

That depends. If the weather and my back hold out I wouldn't be opposed to throwing an air mattress in the back of the deuce. However, I will also have to have a plan "B" if either one goes south on me. Plans are in progress to discuss options at the next few MVCC meetings.

I'm all in.

Keith, The truck is looking awesome. Sorry I missed you guys at the movies last night. I hope someone took some picks.

M35M, That's a super nice rig. Do you have plans to paint? If so what scheme are you going for. Here's a pick of my rig after paint. If you have the chance, check out the "Dallas, TX trail ride" thread on SS. It was the clubs first off road outing. We will be doing it again in the spring.

Indeed, M35M Welcome to the fold. Once you get your rig let me know I have lots of spare parts.

That's funny. I was thinking the exact same thing just last week. How do I install a small cheap'o window A/C unit in the bed, run a piece of conduit through the back window and not look like a total gypsy redneck while doing it. I have 12v in the cab. would a power inverter be strong...

Kinda hard not to wear shorts especially here in Texas unless you want to heat stroke behind the wheel.

Great idea on the flags. Do you have any picks of the setups. I have been looking for ideas since my last parade. My truck will be in the Ft. Worth Veterans day parade. I'd like to have things in place by then.

If you open your windshields for ventilation make sure there screwed down tight. At highway speeds a strong gust could slam the windshield shut. This will scare the crap out of you and is a good way to loose windshield glass. Be careful and never jump out of the cab on the drivers side...

I drive with my bed cover off and troop seats down as much as I can. It offers much more visibility on the road. What ever is on the seat beside you will be on the floorboard the first time you hit the breaks. Secure your gear. Whenever you park your deuce for more than a few hours always cover...

If I get my convoy lights installed in time. JCknife, you just gave me an idea. Thanks.

I found a neat trick that worked great. I used copper pipe insulation on all my poles and spreaders. It stretched the top the 1/2" or so it needed and quieted the wind and chatter noise considerably. Here's before / after picks.

If you have a good working T/C and are driving 90% on road with your truck is there anything you can do as far as preventive maintenance.

Your right.. Sorry, I should have looked a bit closer.

I noticed the bed you have on it now. It looks like a bed off of an old WWII Chevy 1.5 ton or a Studebaker or something. If the bed isn't damaged or altered that bed could be rather valuable and highly sought after. I would consider doing some research and getting the word out. The sell of that...
