can you do the OD kit on a deuce that has the larger tires installed?

i dont see a section for alternative fuels but how do you filter yours? my buddy owns a shop here in town and just begged me to come get his used oil. he has a couple hundred gallon holding tank i can pull from anytime i want so **** yes free fuel.

so i can run 50/50 used motor oil and diesel? are you serious? why didnt i buy this truck years ago. i just found one by sacramento thats hard topped but stock other than that for 3000 with 30k on it. is that a good deal? i can post up the link if that is not against the rules.

curious how you go about getting waste oil. do you just ask restaurants and you just pour it in your tanks? what do you do if its cold?

another question. is it out of the ball park to be looking to spend 7000 on a bobbed hard top deuce on 46's?

ah yes thanks for the info. so from what i have read 46" tires should get me a top speed of 62. is that something i can sustain for long periods of time? im really considering driving this thing across country. should be alot of fun either way. oh and does this truck also have a 24 volt...

Multi fuel has me a bit scared. The thought of used motor oil and other things in a diesel creeps me out. I have been a diesel mechanic in the military for 11 years and its always been red diesel or jp5 through our Paxmans or ALCO's or the various series of CAT i have worked on. I have always...

I bet its not the most comfy ride. So i have read about air brake issues but that seams to be the only problem i can find. If it being uncomfortable and noisy on long trips i think ill be fine. Which cummins engine is a more direct swap. I cant search on my phone or i would just do that instead...

Thanks for the info. Im planning to buy a bobbed A2 on 46" tires. You guys think that one of these could survive a cross country drive?

i am about to buy a deuce to start a bob project on. however i noticed that these trucks come in all kinds of configurations for power plants and transmissions. is there anything i should be on the look out for? which engines have more issues than others? transmission issues? that kind of thing...
