I had a similar experience. Installed brass hose barbs in place of the axle vents, ran a clear plastic hose up to the bed crossmember or firewall for front axle, terminated hose with a cheapo small engine fuel filter, and presto. No more stupid sticking axle vents....and better water proofing in...

It prompted me to refresh my memory and indeed, there was a REB kit made by Memphis Equipment which removed the sprag overrun by using gear wheels with more teeth and adding the manual engagement: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/reb-kit.13496/

Woo hoo! Congrats! Nothing like jumping into an unknown Deuce and driving it on a long drive that hopefully ends at home! Truck looks good...enjoy wrenching and getting to know your Deuce! Do you know anything about its past? The fuel fired heater is a nice upgrade. Does it work? It probably...
