I recently bought an old GMC school bus with a 427 gas engine and allison at 545 trans. Has anyone tried this swap in a duece? Also can the 545 be adapted to the multifuel?
dual 1400s
Thanks for the input guys. Would 1-1/2 inch space between the tires be enough to prevent rubbing with a moderate load. Also, has anyone tried mounting the inside wheel between the back side of the hub face and the brake drum, then redrilling the hub and use longer studs to...
Just finished flipping the hubs and mounting the 1400s. My duece is not bobbed but I moved the single rear axle back. I wanted the 4 wheel drive but did not want to loose the use of the drop side bed. Anyway, I don't like the look of the back tires, look too narrow, they don't fill up the huge...
What is the stock wheel width and back spacing on a duece? Found some 1400 20s and some 15.50 80 20s on gl. Michelin says the use a 10 inch wheel width. My duece is bobbed so rear is no problem, but wondering about rubbing while turning on the front
What is the max tire diameter you can run on a duece without lifting it or having steering/rubbing problems at the front? Can we run the 53" tires using aftermarket wheels without clearance issues at the front?
Are their any pictures out ther of a big tired long wheelbase 4X4 duece? I have the bed off, rear axles out and seperated. Time to permanently mount one back to the frame. Would like to reuse my dropside if a long wheelbase truck isn't butt ugly.
Just did mine lasst sunday and have to agree with Ridgerunner on the side plates. I started with small chisels and worked my way up. CAUTION!!!!! twice, as I was driving the bigger chisels in, they shot out with incredible force. Landed about 30 feet away. As for the vertical rivets inside...
Got my first duece home a few weeks ago with full intention of bobbing it. After asking CARNAC for help with the vin and such, he informs me that this might not be the best duece to chop up. Apparently the combination of the drop side cargo bed with winch is less common than many other...
To fill out my SF97 They REQUIRE that I list the vin #. Is that the same as the Serial Number? They also REQUIRE the year and make of the truck. Is their any way to determine the year and make? Also, What makes this truck any different than a typical M35A2. Is it just the dropside bed? Thanks...
After seeing how cool these trucks look bobbed, I decided I had to buy one and bob it. However, after driving it for the past week it's really starting to grow on me just like it is. Anyway, I plan to use it in my wrecker service as an off road recovery vehicle.
Thanks for the try, looks like I gave you bad info, sorry. As listed on the data plate, the mfr. # is NKOBRJ, and the Reg. # is 0425/11662. Also the stock # is 23209260875.
