I will be there..had a blast last year..anyone have 6 Hemmt rims that they want to sell?? while im there??

Am interested in possibly adapting the deuce to plow snow, was wondering if anyone has done this and can offer me so advice or pictures of the installation, or advice regarding how the deuce does doing this type of work...thanks for any comments:tank:

Think these vets wouldnt mind if I showed up with my Pinz?? This sounds like fun.

Check the important things portal axle seals, check to make sure the lockers are all functional, that the trans shifts smooth and that the electicals work as designed. These vehicles are expensive to repair and the parts cost is prohibitive compared to a deuce or other american MV. I love the...

OK so I have a guy willing to sell me 7 fmtv rims that I would love to single out my deuce with but will need to have adaptor plates made, are there any members with the skills and the resources to do this and keep the cost reasonable? Let me know if anyone is interested ....thanks Pinz

Kohburn, I would love to see pics of those adaptors you are planning...whats the cost going to be?

I dont want to use the stock rims with my 395's although many have done so I am hesitant as a few expiereienced tire guys have told me I am stretching the boundaries by trying to mount them on stock rims and they all flatly refused to do them for me. I know that there are several machinists on...

Can any one tell me if this rim is a good fit to single out my deuce? I understand that adaptor plates would have to be fabricated but just wanted someone with more expierience in this give me the go...I think these rims go on a 5 ton???

I have a friend that has one set of these left...I bought the other set for my Pinz...PM me if interested

Thinking it is probably a synchro....

I met Kenny awhile back when I wanted a 5 ton steering wheel for my deuce..He has a nice shop, a good inventory of trucks and parts and this is a family owned and operated business...good people!!

Completely new...all the way around!!!:beer:

Thanks Gunfreak I have seen alot of folks with 395s mounted on original rims on this site but see others trying to discourage the practise, as for me..nothing ventured..nothing gained2cents

Yup went to my local tire shop and was told that he would mount them on 10 inch rims but he didnt want to mount them on stock 9 inch rims because of liability. I will eventually get the hemmt rims after I find a set of 6 for a reasonable price..so in the meantime..I will mount them myself!!!:-o

SORRY....wanted to thank the proper person for the lead on the tubes...gentlemans handle is Monkeythumbs.....my bad!:mrgreen:
