Check the front brake pads, the lining probably broke loose from the backing plate and shifted causing the vibration.

I think you will find that no " Inspection Station " will put it on a rack and pull wheels, they don't want to pay for a messed up seal or any other problem, most they will do is a walk around checking lights tires wipers things like that at least not for the 12.50 they charge you. If your...

If your meaning state inspection, I get it at a local place ( same as the rest of my vehicles ) although at first they said they didn't do big trucks but when i pointed to there big international rollback wrecker an asked where they got it inspected they changed their mind. I do all my own work...

Welcome from Buckhannon WV, I think you will find a very helpfull group here . My only advice is start a parts fund now for all the little thing that come up , or the add on' s that you will be doing . ( never satisfied always upgrading ) because the parts can get down right expensive! But they...

I put mine on the drivers side firewall to, I didn't like the idea of spilled brake fluid in the cab and its not a bother to drop the side panel to check. I used hard line all the way to the master cylinder, just a small piece of rubber line at the new reservoir.

Wow ,I wonder what R.P.M. the engine hit with that one !!!

That will be a killer truck when done, keep posting the progress

I have $410.00 in with oil , I looked for a used unit and the cheapest one I found at the time was $500.00 , since then I have seen a couple around $300.00 But you can't tell what your getting with a used one and at least now I have had my hands on every gear and know exactly how well its put...

Yes I agree with you about the plywood, I used a 3'x2' 1/2" piece with a chain attached to it and used my tractor to drag it out.

I got all the gears and gaskets on ebay , I bought all the bearings from waterloo specialties ( m-35tom on this site )

I read a lot of posts on here about different ways of removing a deuce transmission, and liked the thought of a cross post from the dash to rear of cab, well while gathering parts for the transmission I thought I might try to come up with abetter mouse trap so to speak. I took a piece of 2 ½...

Yes, transmission is in the truck works great! And Thanks For asking.

Thought I would give an update, after teardown it lookslike It needed fifth gear drive and driven gears, 4th&5th gearsynchronizer, all bearings. If you look in the photos ( new parts photos alsoincluded, bad parts circled in red ) the damage started with the synchronizer,the teeth that mesh...

Well I got it all back together in time for veterans day parades, Thank goodness!

I wanted a remote reservoir for the brakes since it's a pain to check pre trip, this turned out to be the most frustraighting part of the truck yet ! I wanted hard line all the way except where it connects to the reservoir but had a heck of a time getting the cap sealed.The threads in the cap...

Latest update , I blasted and painted the axle from backing plate to backing plate, installed it on the truck then removed the drums to blast and paint. Cleaned the brakes and painted the inside backing plate, repacked the bearings and replaced the seals. I don’t have the tires to single it...

I have state farm on my deuce, It required a commercial policy ( I am B plated ), liability only but it only cost me 215.00 a year. You might want to check with another agent mine had to call the main office to figure it out, but they will insure it and they wanted pictures.

I used the measurments off the XM381 site, and added 3 more inches so my axle will probably be 8 inch further back.

Thanks, I used a sawzall with metal cutting blades, took a cutoff wheel to start the hole in the bed. I used a cutting torch to cut the bed off the subframe.

I got a little more done in the last couple of days , Installed the spare tire mount , Reinstalled the air tank brackets and air tanks ,The air lines, Fuel tank brackets, Rear wiring harness, I decided not to cut it and shorten it I just folded it up and zippy tied it. Spring brackets and...
