How do you guys get it to spool back up correctly, if pulling in under load, it bunches up on one side to the point of almost getting stuck, and even with thick gloves, there is too much tension to guide it so it will spool right. I need some sort of guide, what are you using or what do you...

So I went out to Pismo Beach to the dunes, and met YellowBronc but did not get to spend much time with him. I aired the deuce down, 15 pounds sucked, so I dropped the back to 3-5 pounds and front at 15 or so, and it mashed up over down around literally anything except for steep dunes. Didnt...

This may sound like a really dumb question, and I have searched, but aside from the "VIN" number on the dash, I have not found the frame plate yet, and all the engine tags have no markings on them, like they put blanks on there that were not stamped with the actual details. How can I find out...

So in the next couple weeks I want to take my deuce to the dunes. I have talked to a couple people in passing who said they do great, just air down, and if they get stuck, they are super easy to dig out. Anybody done this? What would you air down to? Any suggestions for taking the deuce to the...

So I went out to move the deuce last nite, and the brake pedal goes almost to the floor, with a tiny bit of grab at the last inch of travel. Looked around in the dark, and it really does not appear to be leaking anywhere, my first thought was wheel cylinder. Anything else common that would...

I have looked and looked and have not been able to find a thread on this. My deuce is currently green, and I want to camo it to the pattern found in the manuals. My question is how is this done? the current finish is quite nice, so I think it would make a fine base coat. Are there stencils...

So took my deuce up into the hills with some friends this weekend! was a blast even though we ended up with a flat front tire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYH2fYJsaPQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F90iHTrdWE

First off I would like to say a huge thanks to all of you for all the valuable info on this site and for answering the newbie questions I have posted. I am not sure what year it is, the data plate is blank since the rebuild. It runs perfectly, I just added the soft top. Picked it up last nite...

This may seem like a dumb question, but I searched and cannot find the answer. On a truck that does not have the air engagement for front drive, how does it work exactly? Is it always engaged? Isn't this bad for road use? I am about to pickup my truck tonite and realized I have no clue how...

Hello guys again, Found a possible deuce I am looking at. He is asking $4500, not sure on the year, but it has a plate inside that says it was completely gone over in 1989. It has 8000 miles and about 252 hours since then. Cosmetically its fine except the seats, a bit of rust/rot on the doors...

I have been looking for a while, and found a listing for a 1953 flatbed deuce. It is really cheap, $1500 but the ad says it runs and drives well. I am hoping it is not a gas motor, as I am really not interested in the gas trucks. I am about to give the fellow a call, and suggestions on things...
