My Bobbed deuce used to be a firetruck and it still has the rear PTO which I assume ran the water pump or something. Also a reserve tank behind the seat for something as well.. I have the original data plate on the door from when it was a firetruck as well.. Not sure if that helps you or anyone...

Thanks for sharing the trick, I am usually a one man show so that will help allot!

Wait I thought you said you have all the time in the world?? Ha ha.. the TM's can get a bit tedious but well worth it. I have re-read a few and still didn't make a dent.. If you are a Fireman.. Matt you may be interested my bobbed deuce used to be a Firetruck.. see pics in my album..

Awesome! Congrats! I bet some people on here would kill for that rear winch.. Especially those who like to piggy back vehicles in their bed.. Best of luck with it!

I would check out Craigs List.. That's where I found mine, but look around in neighboring areas as well. Use the search function on the side type in "M35A2" or Deuce and a Half" that worked for me. But of course look on this site in the classifieds. Last resort.. Egay. Arrgghh can't stand...

Wow a dealership that sells deuces! That's the first I have heard.. Well if you are looking for those Deuces without any mechanical issues good luck! If you find one without brake issues then it's just a matter of time till you will have some.. If you are not mechanically inclined there are a...

Same thing happened to me, driving my deuce all was well then all four rims were dragging, turned out to be the Airpack. I just posted my rebuild recently. I am still having the rears dragging a little but I think it's just out of adjustment now. Check to see if you are leaking any fluid out...

My cousin used to work in the army in helicopter repair.. When I was around 12-14 I got to sit in a Cobra, that was pretty cool never got a pic though.. the second coolest thing was getting a tour of a live Nuclear submarine in the Groton Naval base in CT. My buddy still had an active pass...

Frog, with all the beating you got from the trailering I decided not to post.. Don't let any criticism get you down.. take it as a learning experience.. I got my deuce drove it home 40 miles+ without knowing much about it.. the rear brakes were locking up..etc.. Got a little "tough love" as a...

Those seats look great.. where did you get them? Nice job by the way.. Looks awesome!!!

That's great I was hoping for a TM reference.. Thanks!!

Thanks for your insight.. Hmm how do I adjust or check for adjustment without taking off the drums? If there is an easy way to adjust I'm all for it.. she does stop on a dime now.. Thanks!

So now that the Airpack is rebuilt I wanted to drive it around today. I still had trouble getting up hills. The truck just slows down. It started to smell like brakes... crap.. turned around and went back home, only out about 3 miles round trip. Walked around the truck to check for hot hubs...

An Airpack vent cool! Guess they thought about the 5 ton a little.. Mine spit at me through the slobber tube as I was right in front of it! Guess I got lucky..Ha.

Heavysteven, did I ever mention your video helped me decide to tackle my airpack rebuild? It should be a pre-video to my airpack rebuild thread. Thanks!!

Yeah looks like its leaking out the zipper. check it out and see how bad it is. You probably have to replace either way but the zippers do leak to a point. When you do replace there is some sort of silicone or something similar that you smear on the inside of the zipper to keep it from leaking...

Good luck Scott, it's not that bad if you take your time and be patient about it. If you are fairly mechanically inclined it should be no problem. There are no real tricky spots just your standard springs and bolts. Just be careful not to scratch up the piston rod when taking the piston off...

No problem, I just wanted to make sure the o rings weren't going to break down on me.. I am sure there will always be debate on what oil to use where..

Ok, I calmed down a little now.. that WD40 scared me for a minute.. I googled it and found this scientific study on chemicals and oils and what effect they have on O rings.. Based on the study looks like the O ring doused in WD40 was OK no sign of any change. Not saying it's the best thing but...

Crap! Thanks for the info.. I'll get me some of that O ring lube.. if I can't find it is there anything else that will do?
