Sigo, flyusn99 here with the rubber rope. Sorry to hijack your thread but I can't PM you because your inbox is full and they no longer provide a way to email direct. Please either email me at flyusn99@hotmail.com or clean out your inbox and let me know. You're #1 on the rope right now but I've...

Yup, he's a small-boy rotor-head. He's my first in-advertent OD Green convert. His truck is in top notch shape, Uncle Sugar put in a new engine and exhaust in it before surplusing it out and Curt has done a bunch of work on it. He converted it to a Hard Top and repainted the whole truck...

Greetings All, I'm hopefully about to transfer to Oak Harbor, Washington on beautiful Whidbey Island from hot and humid Jacksonville, Florida. As such I am in need of someone with a step deck flatbed to help me move my two Deuces and potentially an M105 or two in the back of them. Total...

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm mostly curious about the overall height (which the pics have shown pretty well) so I can figure out if its feasible to have an M105 in the bed of the Deuce and then have the Deuce on a step-deck flatbed when I PCS back up to Washington State. It looks like...

Gents, I've searched and searched but not found any threads on this question. I've heard tell that an M105 trailer can be flipped on its back and loaded in the bed of an M35. My question is how to flip the trailer without damaging it and how is it actually placed inside the bed of the deuce...

BlueDuce, Here are the pics I promised. The one with the cooling fins zig-zagging in between the cooling core is the newer cheaper style. The one with the cooling fins running the entire horizontal row capturing the cooling core and locking it in place is the older more Heavy Duty style. The...

No problem, that's the newer replacement style. Notice how the fins are separate from each other and don't span the entire width of the radiator? That was a means of cost savings. On the type you have, when they manufactured it they simple coated the find with soder then placed the entire core...

Blueduce, Pretty standard stuff to look for on a used radiator; Any white crust from previous leaks (esp around the upper and lower reservoirs and where they sodered the two halves of the reservoirs together as well as around the input and output tubes) Any indications of damage to the...

Depends on what core you get. I opted to go with the old style HD core where the cooling fins actually lock the core together rather than the el cheapo radiators the Govt started using to replace the radiators in the deuces. Those one look like they were just pressed together (which they were)...

Ironhorse, Great post!!! Is there any chance you can post a few more pics of the bed? I'm interested on how much higher it sits when down and also what the hinges looked like with the mod you did on the bummperettes. I'm planning on doing this to one of my Deuces but just wanted to see how the...

I'd say if it is only in that one spot you could probably get away with JB weld. My upper reservoir had quite a few little seepages and the fins were seperating so I had the whole radiator done and re-cored with the older style HD core, so I have the piece of mind that barring any major event...

I would echo the sentiments of a great many on getting it from a fellow member or a reputable source. The GL trucks are great if you: 1 Preview them 2 And they go cheap (sometimes they don't) 3 Aren't in a hurry to actually get take them home 4 Are content with hidden costs 5 Don't mind...

Peashooter: What was the nomenclature you used when you ordered it from Memphis and if you don't mind me asking how much was the replacement? I had the same thing happening on my Deuce but had a spare engine I pulled the thing off... James

I've read the threads on SS about people having problems with David at mvdataplates.com but my experience with him has been nothing short of outstanding. I'm not trying to be a cheerleader, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I wanted to get the other side of the story out...

Deuce history One thing I forgot to add that might be of interest. If you just got your truck as you say you did, and it came from a US Army or NG unit one of the members on here (CARNAC) has a re-curring thread somewhere on SS that if you send him the serial number, year, make bumper markings...

Definitely compare the full frame serial number with the data-plate on the dash board. If a discrepancy exists go with the frame serial number and just order a new dataplate. Some guys on here have had issues but I've always had good luck with David from mvdataplates.com Also, if you're having...

It seems like everyone I know who has bought GL EUC items are getting them back in about a week if they've had previous EUC submissions within the last year. The first timers are also getting lucky with roughly two weeks being the best I've heard of. Sorry AMRAM but your clearance doesn't...

A couple things. First I know what you're talking about with the HF bud socket, I have one from their 3/4" impact socket kit that is ONLY a bud socket. I wasn't aware there were the combo sockets that had both the bud and the 1 1/2 drives together in one until recently. Personally I think there...

Radiator re-core That doesn't sound unreasonable. I just had my Deuce re-cored and it was about $700. Obviously the Deuce radiator is somewhat larger than the Jeep one you're talking about but the cost ratio seems about the same. That $700 was for a quality old-style core with the interlocking...

Based on the length and geometry of the pylon mounting cut-outs I'd say there's a pretty good chance you're looking for a transport aircraft. My initial thought is C-130 but looking online the number and variation on the wing tanks is more than I can count. They also look slightly reminiscent of...
