Deuce putting the top down?

[FreightTrain]

Get you a piece of metal rod.Round off one end,and drive it all the way throught to open it up.Also watch for areas where the lip is bent too far out and tap it back into shape.Finally,use a little lube.Petroleum jelly works great.I can go from totally topless to fully installed Frame and top in less than 5 minutes.You learn to do this in the south.6 months of Hot,Sticky,Humid days with 20-40% chance of rain EVERY DAY!Never know when your gonna look in your mirrors and see a thunderstorm following ya.

A Marine friend (he joined our Corps on June 1941) told me to rub soap on the part of the canvas that slides in the slot at the top of the windshield. I tried it and it works.
One of the few. Frank USMC RET.

M215, Dave, superb fotos of the trucks! That's exactly the look that I want for my deuce. Right now I apply the OD-24087 paint. As for the markings - the 8GP family of trucks gets larger and larger, soon to be joined by my deuce

Regards,
Mark

When I first got my Sharleen from Maine it had no top but I put on the soft top and haven't had the chance to remove it and take it for a ride.
