Thanks, it was in great shape other than the front end being smashed and a bunch of broken parts. Having a title was a big plus too. Here is my set of Mrap rims.
Put some troop seats in today. Wood is pretty beat, will put new wood on this spring. Have few a few things to do to get back on the road this spring. Have a bad brake switch on one of the air packs to replace once it warms up. Some how manged to nail something with drivers side axle boot that...
I still have a few things to do on it. I want to rebuild the pto before put that on. I have no headlights or turn lights. I need to trace the wiring to find the bad ground.
Here are some of the extras I added:
Locking door handles
Battery cut off
A nice add on someone before me added
A preview of what is to come
Still have a muffler and spin ons to add
Isspro dual egt/boost gauge, it's huge
Been busy putting parts back on last few weeks.
Got rid of the cheesy steering wheel and transfer case lever
Front drive shaft put back in.
Drive side fender
Battery box
Air box
Passenger fender
Front end back together
I have the room but no where on my property to hide the trucks from view. To keep the wife happy and from killing me, I only have the shelter and the 73 deuce at the house for now. The af deuce is at friend's place parked on a concrete pad which has been nice to work on and have the exrta set of...
I went a little crazy ordering parts the last few weeks: spin ons, boost/pyro gauge, h4 highlights, battery cut off, muffler, and another set of 395 xzl's with mrap rims. I couldn't help myself and bought another deuce. This one has no title and the cab is shot so I won't be fixing this one...
Pounded out some dents in the hood today and straightened the brush guard. I got it straight enough for me. Ordered a bunch of new parts for it and should be picking up a parts truck soon. Plus picked up a S250 shelter to throw in back and make a camper. Should be back on the road shortly.
Have gotten a bunch done to the truck in the last week. Figured out the clutch problem I was having because I made a dumb mistake. Bypassed FDC and had a new fuel line made up to replace the crushed front copper line. Got a new line and fitting so I could hook the air assit back up. Also put on...
Originally I bought the truck for parts but as I tore into I realized it wasn't that bad. Once I heard the truck run, I knew I had to fix it. Plus the truck is really good shape other than being alittle beat up from the wreck. When I opened up the axles the brakes and bearings were in great...
I finally got back to working on the truck this last week. I got it running just before I quit working it this cold long winter. Tore into the front axle replaced the seals and boots. Was able to piece a tool box back together from 2 wrecked boxes I had. Was able to straighten the grill guard...
I got the oil pan and front leaf spring installed that I picked up from Kublo's. I'll probably try firing it up this weekend since it's going to warm up.
It's a sickness! Everyone thought I was crazy with one truck. I use to spend my money collecting guns but NY put a stop to that. So the trucks fill that void for me and empty my wallet now.
I can't help myself and went looked at another deuce not to far away, a 1968 M35A2 W/W. It has been sitting a long time and in rough shape. It has no title and the cab is pretty rotten so there is no point in fixing this one. The canvas top has withered away and the tires have sunken into the...
