I have been working many hours on the Deuce lately. The list of small things needing to be done seems endless but I have managed to knock some off of it. I installed the remote brake reservoir kit but still need to flush all the lines ect. I pulled the tunnel covers, cleaned and painted them...

Cab and Parts are painted A few months ago I was finally able to paint the majority of the cab and parts. It looks better then I hoped and its awesome to finally see it in one color. Been slowly assembling when I have time. Here a few cell phone pics as I didn't have a good camera with me on...

Sorry if I missed it but what kind of prep work did he do before paint? Curious as I'll be doing mine soon. Awesome build!

Its been awhile since I have been able to work on the ol beast. New job and new location so haven't had a bunch of time sadly. I did manage to get one of the rear doors ready and primed. Also picked up a few round LEDs for the roof I'm going test.

18 or 20 will work fine. That's what I have been using.

ya what ^^^ he said!

Cross measure your frame. That's a quick way to tell if you may have an issue. That will show you if your frame has a diamond in it which is one rail is shoved back compared to the other creating a diamond shape out of all the cross members and such. Cross measuring doesn't always tell the whole...

That thing is awesome! good job!

Awesome build. Looks sweet man! Did you weld the roof on or just bolt it and fill it? Also If you welded it did you do if full length or just tack welds? Thanks for this thread man it give me some good ideas!

Thanks for the reply swiss. The house paint idea is pretty new (and scary) to me as I have been in auto body business for 13 years. I want to use some of our industrial coatings but I haven't been very happy with the colors I have mixed. I would prefer automotive because as you have said it will...

Swiss could you please explain your last post. What don't you like about the behr paint? What urethane did you use? In a few more weeks I will be painting and I have yet to buy paint so would I like to see as much info as possible. Thanks for your input!

Here are a few supplemental pics from the previous couple of posts. Also I am starting on the tear down now.

I bought mine in washington state also with zero rust at all for about 3. Put some work into it, new batteries, fixed a bunch of wiring, new starter, rebuilt alts and such. I sadly needed the cash for other life priorities and sold it for 4500. It was in amazing shape like i said ZERO rust what...

Today I drilled out the rear door handle holes and test fitted them. I also decided that I wanted handles to aid in getting in both doors so I made a few out of square tubing. The first one was slow to build as I kept adjusting everything but once I finished the first on the second one was...

It's been awhile since I have posted on here. I have still been busy working on Deuce just nothing has been very spectacular. The things I have been doing lately are a bunch of small tedious projects. I have finally finished both rocker repairs as they where completely rusted out. I cut all the...

Agreed^^^ if this is how bad it already is there you may be having some more issues down the road with a big nasty deuce sitting in your driveway. May want to consider parking at a friends or something.

If you are waiting a few days and don't care to use the factory pump set up order the 24 volt external pump. To install it for good would be barely longer then what doghead said to do but like I said only if you don't care to use the factory set up. If you do then for sure go with doghead's...

Last night I sprayed the whole inside of the left rocker with rusty metal primer to hopefully help stave off future rust. I also had a few minutes so I started the grease zerk fitting project for the hinges. Knowing how fast pins and bushings wear on on normal cars I want to do what I can to...

So they must have some hardware the door had to clear I assume? I don't think this door was actually off this truck. The markings inside where different and the colors where off compared to the rest of the truck. That's a cool bit of information though thanks for clearing that up! I figured it...
