Just found this these photos on GP, and it's showing what looks to be two different single piece 6 lug wheels with 10r22.5 tires. are either something that'd fit on a deuce?

Where did you manage to find those? Do they have any left? I'm just south of you in Vancouver, and finally pulling the trigger on replacing my lock ring rims. I'll go the MRAP route if I can't find rims, but being able to run 22.5s would be so much easier in the long run.

Jumping in here, but a recent thread on air-o-matic is too tempting to resist; does anyone have the specs for the u-bolts or know where to source them? I just acquired a working pull, but it was missing the u-bolts, and I can't find measurements anywhere.

I'm moving to Vencouver, selling my place in Portland; though with the current situation, I might end up renting it out for a year instead. Funny think about Vantucky... My other home is Kentucky 😹

I'm in Portland/Vancouver, WA (in the middle of moving)

Thanks a lot! Dimensions/drawings for the 52022 mounting plate and pitman arm would make this a reasonably inexpensive and easy PS upgrade; the 52022 seems to still be easily available at a reasonable price, there is no frame cutting needed beyond a couple of holes, and it's obviously been well...

Yup, I did. Turns out that is either an HFB 52013X or 52033X (same casting number). I'm *really* curious how how the mounting holes match up, etc. Looking for the maintenance manual at the moment as well, but not seeing any digital copies available.

Can't quite read the info on the steering box; it looks like a Ross HF52 of some sort? and it looks like it is mounted on the outside of the frame? Interesting, in that a lot of the power steering discussion on SS has been focused on the HF54.

I came at this from a real newbie standpoint, first time with a deuce, or any big truck, really. I trusted the guy I got it from when he said he hadn't been having any problems - if you aren't sure you can trust that, maybe run fast and far. I guess a random list would be... - when someone...

So one thing that made no sense to me. Up until about Idaho, pedal to the metal would never get above 56MPH/2600RPM. Then, at some point near the Oregon border, all of a sudden, the deuce would start pegging out the speedo and trying to climb into the 2700-2800 RPM range, even going up hills -...

And I made it in four days, no major problems! Can't wait to start cleaning this deuce up!

A friend recently needed a new daily driver, and I had an extra vehicle out east, so we swapped. I'm now driving the beast home. The friend had installed a fresh brake master cylinder and steering column/box before I picked up the thing, and the only real problem I've had so far is the...
