    P/S "kit" on ePay for $2,850 with free shipping. It is a full bolt on hydro kit but you do have to cut your steering column. His itemized list has no disclaimers or "off road only" statements.

    I can provide power steering CHEAP & RELIABLE

    What blows me away is the entire tone of this thread. By that I mean what this Nation of ours has turned into. It sickens me to think what John Browning or Sam Colt would think if they read this thread. Instead of being excited and encouraging invention we have been reduced to this. Warning an...

    help with title!!!

    I bought my Deuce in Texas with only a bill of sale. I had to get a vin search done on the truck. TxDMV - Title Check Once the vin has been cleared you take that paperwork to the DPS and buy what's called a bonded title. The bond is figured on the value of the vehicle. You will need three...

    Cab floor mats

    Cab floor mats

    I used 3/4" interlocking foam mats. You get 16 sf for $20 at Lowes. Used them and some construction adheasive to replace the black foam insulation on my hard top. Works great and has survived a summer in Texas without a piece falling or warping. They also offer a great deal of rigidity to the...

    US6 found

    I pulled the dip stick and to my amazement the oil looked clean and fresh. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. I'm almost half tempted to throw a battery in her and some fuel to see if she'll start. Don't worry fellas I'm not that stupid. I will start tearing things down this fall. She is...

    US6 found

    Set two. It looks to me that a pressure washer would improve conditions considerably. I took a closer look at her belly and I can see no significant rust or damage. The floor pan of the cab is solid. Even under the seat. The main trans to dif driveshaft spins freely. There are no puddles under...

    http://www.popularmechanics.com/scie...s/tips/4327161 This link was in the same thread. I like the idea of the long piano hinge. More stability I would think. But with the side cut like that it may be harder to weather proof and lock. Any ideas about a lockable closing clasp and the best way to...

    Maybe I'll Keep It!?

    I used to run heavy equipment for a site prep comany in TX. I ran a cabbed up Komatsu 350 rubber tire front end loader and those are the exact tire it had. We use to road them from site to site and she would easily do 55mph. But that was for short distances 5 to 10 miles max. And believe you me...
