Hope this helps a little. It's the next best picture I have of it.

This past Saturday this old boy was helping us move dirt from smithfield pa to fairchance.

Hello Ryan, I bought a deuce and a half from aliquippa. It had a pa title and an antique plate. We went to a local notary and had the title and plate transferred to me with no problems. I called hagerty insurance and had insurance on it with one phone call. By the way I'm from near uniontown pa.

I'm using stock deuce front springs on the rear but the site won't let me load a picture. It does nothing when I hit attach files. There is not much more than an inch of travel until full collapse on the slip yoke I'm thinking thats not enough. I blocked the axle in place before I took the...

I didn't explain myself completely. I'm wanting to reuse my old shaft and need to know how far the slip joint should be collapsed when sitting unloaded. I haven't drilled for the spring mounts yet so I can adjust forward or backwards when I figure out where to set the slip joint.

I'm trying to determine the rear axle position on my M35a2 that I'm bobbing. How far should the rear slip yoke be compressed without a load. I tried to post a pic but the site wouldn't let me.

Mine was worn or out of adjustment to the point that the springs were not compressed at all. An old mechanic I know said the springs should be compressed until the metal stubs inside of them touch and the backed of until you can get the cotter pin in. He said that was how they adjusted them on...

It had some slop in both ends and I wanted to make sure nothing was broken or missing.

Thank you rustystud.

I tried a search not much came up. I removed, disassembled and cleaned the drag link on my deuce yesterday. How tight should I make the adjusters?? Just touching or should it compress the spring slightly. There was a good bit of play in the joints and nothing looked excessively worn.

Should I paint or just smear some grease between the leaves while I have them apart. I have already needle scaled off the little rust that was between them.

Found it on craigslist in northern Detroit for $300. Got springs mounting brackets u bolts shocks rubber bumpers the blocks that go under the springs the lower shock mount brackets and the upper shock mounts. I think I got it all.

Long drive but it was worth it. I'm gonna take the springs completely apart needle scale off any rust and replace the center bolts. One of the nuts on a center bolt is nearly rusted away.

I'm probably going to remove an axle and shorten the frame and bed.

Look everything over making sure it's safe for the road. Make more room in the seat for my large self and eventually bob it. It won't fit in my garage so I'm pouring a slab along the side of the garage for a safe work space.
