I watched her roll down the street with her new owner at the wheel...and I have to admit... a tear came to my eye. You guys will like Unclemike....he seems like a great fella. Everybody that inquired and showed interest...thank you so much. Jimbo

I took my duece to town today to pick up a load of steel for a trailer i'm building. After leaving the steelyard I shifted out of 1st high and hit 2nd and the tranny locked there. I couldnt get it out of 2nd for love nor money. I putted home that way on the side of the road....maybe 2-5 miles...

I need a little advice . I'm guessing the switch on the narrow/front end of the duece airpak is the stoplite switch. I have had a steady drip from my master cylinder <I thought> and DOT 5 is getting pretty expensive. Anyway.....I changed my oil today and since I was a greasy mess I checked...

Backing the duece out of the garage this morning....I ran over my wifes lawnmower. damn I didnt see it.....hardly even felt it but crushed the shit out of it. 400 dollars later she now has a new Honda mower. I sure coulda used that money. Jimbo

I was mowing the backyard today and out of my rear garage was a huge explosion. No sh*t...it scared me for just a minute. It sounded like a 105 blast simulator. I ran over to the garage... the ten foot rollup was up and looked in.....no fire, lots of dust. I couldnt for the life of me figure...

I have been looking for some GI green material to recover my seats. I just happened to ask a buddy of mine who is a surplus dealer if he had seen any. He mentioned that nam era shelter halves were the same material and they were extremely plentiful and better yet.....cheap. I picked one up...

Like most of you, my duece had cracked and broken windshield seals. It was getting too bad to drive in the rain so I ordered a set from Teds Trucks. I was dreading doing this but as it turned out the job wasnt too bad at all. I had a bad drivers glass I had to replace anyway so it was a twofold...

I had had my duece fo a little over a year....all this time my wife has been wondering "why". Yesterday I showed her and all is well in my world. We recently moved to rural Utah after I retired. I bought an acre with no landscaping. Its almost spring here so I decided it was time to amend the...

I have been reading what you guys that live in the cold country write about the Duece and snow. This morning I found out. My Garage is 50 yards behind my house......I needed to move my Duece out so I could do some welding for my nephew. Between the garage and the street is 50 yards of 2...

Driving thru Cedar City today I saw something that caused me to stop, back up, drive down the street and turn around and do it again. It was an M35a2 with a cut in half wrecker truck made into a trailer, pintle hook and all. The wrecker was cut just behind the cab and a six inch pipe tow hitch...

It warmed up enough today to do some work on Bubba. I dont know if its a common problem but my hood rattled terribly. Made the truck even more noisy than normal.My hinges were really worn and loose. I bought a set of hood hinges and installed them....man what a difference in sound. Well worth...

I dont know how to do a link but it should be easy to find.Ebay Its whats advertised as an M35a2.....but it aint.....it looks to be a long wheelbase M36......with a late model glass frontend......and the cab has been cutdown and modified to look like a WWII CCKW. It says it has a 50 gallon fuel...

What are the bolted on loops up and down the frame on both sides of my duece ? I have seen them used for handles on the hood but nothing else . Jimbo

I just recently moved from Las Vegas to South Central Utah. In Vegas I had half a dozen requests to use my truck for the Veterans day parade. This week I called VFW and American Legion here and asked could they use the duece for their parade. Oh.....we dont do too much here for Veterans...

I see Lance Buschs duece for sale on ebay. Guy didnt keep it very long. jimbo

Hey guys....a question. If I was to go to the diesel parts guys and ask for tubing to replace the tubing from my injector pump to the injectors, what would I ask for specifically and what size ? Thanks in advance

Drove the 200 miles Saturday morning. My truck ran like a dream, not even a shudder. The best part about the whole trip up I-15, which can be quite hilly, was that I never once had to downshift.....never even got close to downshift range.... DAMN I LOVE THIS TRUCK. One problem though....i'm now...

I have been trying to win a set of cable pull air tank drains for months ,on Epay. They always wind up going way past 40 dollars. Yesterday I went to the Kenworth truck dealer here in Vegas. The parts guy sold me a complete set of two, with cables, for less than 20 bucks. Ebay is nuts. jimbo

I just scored one of the new electronic lite switches....new in the box. All it cost me was a pair of 900x20s and a camo soft top. Now im gonna go install it. Report back in a bit.

When I bought my truck it had the camo softtop. I was really wanting a hardtop. As I posted here a while back, I found a nice hardtop in Utah. I stripped it today prepped and painted it.....its now on my truck and it really improved the looks. It was a lot more work to install than I was...
