Actually that would be pretty awesome. I may start looking for a 4 x 4 MDT because it also would be great to have 10 lug buds and not have to deal with wheel adapters.

Anyone ever put a deuce cab on a MDT frame? I have a 1993 International 4900(2wd) with a DT466 and Spicer 6+1 trans which I was thinking of swapping the motor into my deuce. Then I thought, would it be easier to do a cab swap and in the process swap the axles and xfer case into the International...

I still have 30 or so of them. Not the easiest to ship to AZ, but not impossible. Mine are 8 lug and I can send pics and measurements. - Bill

Not currently tagged or ins... Not really reliable to drive 600 miles. She has sat for the last 4 years and tires are not great, no lights, etc...

I have a 1980 C-80 bucket truck that needs to go from Norfolk VA to Dillsboro IN. Truck runs and is pretty big, picture power company line working truck. Thanks Length: Approx 24' Width: 7' 6" Height: 10'

I assume the beadlocks force the beads against the rims? Where can I get my hands on 4 of them? Thanks everyone!

Tried copious amounts of soapy water. Is there a preferred position of the tire? i.e. laying flat, standing up, leaned over etc? I tried wrapping it with a ratchet strap with the tire standing up to no avail. I figure this can't be too difficult since they can be changed in the field...

This is the first time I'm trying to mount tires on 2 piece rims. My buddy got 4 aluminum MRAP wheels and some Michelin XL 14x20 tires. I put the rim in the tire and bolted it together but the bead does not seat when I try to inflate the tire. I've only ever mounted tires on my cars and...

Looks like I have 36 of these wheel, brand new located in Norfolk VA.

Headed from VA to KC MO along RT 64 with a 24ft box truck with lift gate in mid Feb. Contact me if you need something moved that direction. -Bill

Thankk for all the suggestions, I verified both holes in the MC clear when I put the rebuild kit in it, and even with the service port plugged air exhausts from the exhaust port on the airpack when I release the brakes, But I guess it's either not enough, or something is causing air to leak into...

I drilled an 1/8in hole in the plug and the brakes work much better however if I hold them on for a minute or 2, the air pressure goes down and I can feel the 'assist' fade away. I can at least drive it around the yard:) I may try a new plug with a smaller hole since I don't plan on...

The brakes on my 1967 M109A stay applied after a couple pumps on the brake pedal(hard pedal, brake lights on, truck no-move). I've read many threads about the possible causes of this and have tried all the solutions to no avail. I can get the brakes to release by opening the drains on the air...

I'm headed from KCMO to 29 Palms CA along the 40 with an empty 24ft box truck w/lift gate on Thurs 29 Aug. to arrive Fri 30 Aug. On a tight timeline so can't deviate too much but wanted to throw it out there.

Looking to get a deuce hauled from Jackson Mississippi to KC Missouri in the next 2 weeks, any chance? Truck runs and drives.
