    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yeah, I know about the "little bit of coolant at a time" thing. Just curious. My block drain is further back towards the flywheel housing. Thanks again.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    From the connection at the rear of the block, where did you route that hose? The way I have mine routed, wouldn't it basically bypass the thermostat when the stat is closed? Feeding hot water to the heater and then returning the water to the rad side of the stat? Sorry if I am making it...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I still have not found any good advice on this. My AC compressor is in the way of plumbing it the way the instructions say to do it.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I can't use the ports shown in the diagram as my A/C pump is in the way.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    So I have read up on the heater installs and such. I plumbed mine like so: Green and red to heater. What I am wondering is can I use the purple and yellow ports for a coolant filter? And do I need to change the green port the to lower port in the lower right of the photo, on the water pump...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yes sir. Mine is sitting in the yard with the sprinkler under it now!! It was fun but clean up is never fun! On to the PlyDeuce. I have been working on the A/C and power steering. The A/C system is a bastard of Gm/Ford/Amana/and god knows what else parts. The GM compressor mounted up like it...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I've had goo luck with this design from my rock crawling days. I won't have a problem of being too low for a jack when the air bag fails! I have this same style "swing arm" suspension on my 97 F350. It's been great for the past 8 years with only minor airline/fitting problems.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    My dad calls it the Douche-mouth.......Not funny!! Hahah. Yes, it needs a track bar/panhandle bar/insert name here. This is the basic idea. I build the trailing arms out of 2"x4" 1/4" wall. The front pivot bushings are For SD front leaf spring bushings.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I ended up using the deuce dash and trans/tcase covers in the Plydeuce. It's coming along. I need to have it moveable on the 9th for a VIN inspection. The rear suspension is mostly finished. It is a Peterbilt-style low air leaf set up. Simple, great ride quality and easy of maintenance.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Thank you sir!! For sure! I am trying to get it moveable so I can trailer it to the State Patrol for a VIN inspection. They used to come to your house and do them but stopped a week ago.... Always a day late and a dollar short! Just the front. I wanted to 4-wheel steering but I am spending...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Well, It's not much of a deuce any more!! 1947 Plymouth P15 sedan body. When finished, it will have at least have air ride and AC! !

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I drive mine up and down the streets of my very small town. It has no doors, no roof, no grill/rad, no bed, no plates, no nothing..... Everyone loves it. They all honk and wave. I think it would be rude to call them all hillbillies or rednecks.... haha

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Of all the dirty, filthy, rusted and muddy parts on this truck, the injector lines were great! I only had one line that was slightly upset about being disturbed! The hardest parts of this whole deal was the slight wind and 27* weather in my outdoor shop! I still need to reinstall the lines today...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Prepping to do an HH reseal.I sprayed it down with some WD today. I will probably pull it tomorrow if the weather is halfway nice! !

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It was work-on-Powerstroke Day today but I was able to get the right oring for the preheater injector. I didn't write down all the measurements but it was 16mm OD and it works great now, no more leak. Then I proceeded to drive around town for a bit, annoying all the cheerful folks! I delivered...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    This is a quick photohackjob I did as a rough rendering. I don't have a title for the M35 so I can't do much with it and it is only half the cab anyway. I have a clear title for the C600 so, BAM! Problem solved but creating 100 other problems....that's just the way I do it ;)

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I did a little to my newly acquired deucer. It seems that my preheater injector is leaking out the plunger end. I pulled it apart today and it seems the orings are a size that I did not have. It still leaks. I'll need to try to get the right orings tomorrow. I don't really forsee needing the...
