Wow, that looks great. The speedo and tach look lit up quite well. How did it work for the other gauges? I will give this a try.

MMMMM Just looked at the crimper tools. $300 for the tool, and another $100+ for positioners and turret.:-o:shock::drool:

Thanks for the info. One of these crimper tools is on my list. I think I can set a civi gauge up to make a Packard connector hook to it just like the military gauges with a little modification, but either way, I think I can make it work. Thanks again

Yes That's what I'm kinda thinking. Oil pressure, water temp, voltage or air pressure and maybe speedo. Maybe not the speedo since its almost impossible to go over the speed limit in the deuce.:roll: I'm going to see if Stewart Warner has 24 volt back lit gauges with Packard connectors. I will...

Are you talking about the two lights between the rows of gauges in this picture? I've been wondering what they do. I haven't been able to find anything in the TM's about these two lights either. I'm probably not looking in the right one.:whistle: I thought they were turn signal indicators but I...

Ahhhh, so the "6 Finger" Clutch is Ceramic, and the full round one is asbestos. Thanks for ending my confusion. And its just a standard clutch? No special military thing? I like that, makes it easier. I am thinking its a 14" clutch but I'm probably wrong. Ya know, I will bet that mine has an...

Sorry I forgot to mention, I noticed that the free play adjustment clevis on the clutch linkage appears to be set to it's shortest setting. The clutch pedal has about 1 3/4" of free play so it will be ok for a little bit, but I'm guessing that a clutch replacement is in my future. I was kinda...

Thanks for the advice. I did troubleshoot with a ohmmeter. I too thought it was strange that all three gauges were bad.(The volt meter, air pressure, speedo and tach all work) I made sure everything had power and all sending wires had continuity, I even turned the master switch on and unhooked...

Hey all, Another update. I did some more work to the Deuce. I determined via the Org. Level troubleshooting TM that my fuel level, water temp, and oil pressure gages are done for. I then flushed the brake system and oiled the air pack's air piston. I also discovered my source of brake fluid...

There are ready made brackets for the Delco Alternators!?! AWESOME!!! I have a Delco 150Amp 12 volt self exciting new/reman alternator that was given to me. If I remember right, I have had these converted to 24 volt in the past so that's no big deal. My issue was the mount system, but if they...

Hey All, A little update to the thread. I did some work to the Deuce last weekend. I changed the fuel, ran the return line at the tank into a can and got ALL the old red dye out of the system. Then I changed the fuel filters. What idiot decided the location of the primary?!!aua Anyway, all the...

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm definately glad I bought the truck. Lol of course all my friends said I was crazy to buy it. Well, that just made me more determined to get it. The paint scheme on the cab does look cool but I do wonder what happened with that. Maybe the bed was replaced for one...

I agree, I will be getting everything dialed before I think about doing any mods. About the hotrod stuff, I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean, don't bother with the Ouverson seals and try to find NOS? I think Ouverson makes seals for stock Deuce axles too but I could be wrong? Thanks for...

I almost forgot, here are a couple pictures of my truck.

This is a good question. I'm going to try to do some diagnosing this weekend. I will start at the master switch. And I might look into the alternator also. I can't find the regulator and there is only 2 wires coming out of the alternator, so I'm assuming it has an internal regulator. Oh, is...

SeaFoam? Is that some type of IP cleaning additive? When I change the fuel filters, I was going to pour a little ATF in the final fuel filter can. Its been said that the ATF will help clean and lubricate everything as it goes through. Is that a good idea? Thanks for the help. Time for me to buy...

Hey All, Well, I finally got my truck! Its now at its temporary home about 45 minutes from my house. It hadn't ran in 7 years and it fired right up for me to load it on the trailer. It does have a couple issues, all gages with electric senders don't work, headlights work but no other lights do...
