Might get to go see Jack the green iron guru in Tucson tomorrow and look at all his stuff, I'm sure that will help. Maybe he will sell me a good truck minus engine.

I was thinking the same thing, I could do some videos. Tour of the deuce and my donor. I was adding up costs off the top of my head and I think by the time I replace all the rotted out rubber parts, electrical, and do all the brakes, tires, as well as repair the radiator, I could've bought...

I will compare gauge panel to my later model parts truck. I think I have an ooooldie. The bell crank isn't electrical, it just engages the starter. Thanks!

Did I tick everyone off, or is the forum dead? Went and looked at the neighbor's old gassers. They have a similar number to my short number.

I know this is an old thread, but any of you gentlemen still around and interested? My deuce is "running", ways to go and I can go play.

Sounds logical to me. Be nice to get some of the guys with old deuces to chime in. :-)

Old mixed parts M35 VIN ID ?, please. So this is my old, abused, neglected, messed-with farm "water truck" deuce from my "Got a Deuce!" thread. Need to look into registering it. Tried CARNAC in '09, came back no such VIN. EDIT: turns out it's an M35A1, not a mishmash. DRIVER frame rail. Note...

Forgot to mention last night that fuel pressure has come up around 30psi IIRC and somewhat stabilized, and exhaust note at idle and rev has smoothed out. Maybe due to replacing fuel lines and/or running = getting air bled out, getting things loosened up.

Thanks. I only had a little time to fiddle around tonight. Valves are at the top of the list, probably next week. Going to pick up my Dodge and visit Jacks Surplus this weekend. I was wondering about the injectors. I'll have to search around and find a shop. I'm sure there's none around me.

Vid of it running, valve tick and intake pulse. http://s142.photobucket.com/user/DavidWhymore/media/DEUCE/A19DA89B-3C2D-43FD-9325-B4293BA12040_zpsagkhnqjx.mp4.html

Thanks for the comments and encouragement everyone. Any thoughts on the dipstick? Maybe it hasn't been relocated properly? Seems like I heard the oil pan and dipstick are supposed to be turned around when installed in a deuce? I'm a bit blind going into all this because mine is so messed with...

Went out tonight and just ran it and hung out with it, listening and learning. Used a temp sensor on the exhaust manifold. #6 ran 30-50 degrees hotter than the rest. I also had my mechanic's stethoscope out, and the valve tick is loudest at the rear of the engine. The front injector lines have a...

Note scale weights... Ach, sorry they're sideways. Tried uploading straight from phone.

Something is wrong with the dipstick or where it's mounted. I can't screw it in and every time I stick it in, it gets all bent up.

Air cleaner had critters living in it and the filter has ten pounds of silt in it. Had to heat the hat tube red hot and beat on it to get it off. Had already tried a needle gun and blunt air chisel all around it to loosen it up. Welding nuts to broken off cover bolts on bent axle donor punkin.

Winner. Midnight moonlight ride. Climbs much better with both rears pulling... Deuce power slides are fun.

I may and try to get some dyno time some day. Bout to fire it up and try the new third. Going to fill it with concoction of oil and ATF with axle off the ground (crane) and the rear driveshaft not connected to spin it and make sure it doesn't make any funny noises and flush out any old oil or...

One part of the truck is the right color.

Older than dirt, generation of make what you need. Not that I'd do it.
