    If something happens to the brakes on a truck and things end up in court and your talking to a lawyer, Ill bet that truck has single zone brakes... :roll:

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    I'm not familiar with what M35Tom is referring to. Can any more information be provided? When the truck was designed it was customary and acceptable to have a vehicle with single zone braking. Today, this is not the case. I read all the time on this BB where people are chided for driving...

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    If the brakes are actuated by air alone, operating the vehicle will require a CDL with an air brake endorsement. The conversion would probably generate an interesting conversation at inspection time I'm sure. But I think it could be worked out in the end. It would be far easier to find a...

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    I think the majority of the cost would be in the adaptation of the new parts. There is bound to be some intricate machine work and fabrication. Not that it would bother me, it would just get spendy. I personally like the idea if an all airbrake deuce. Especially if it has parking brake...

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    I see your point. The truck doesnt have a prop valve now so what would be the advantage to putting one on after moving to a multiple zone system... I saw the drawings and assumed:roll: it was indeed a prop valve. so with that said, how would one calculate the requirments for volume and...

    Yard work..cranetruck style

    Bjorn, there are a few tires leaned up against your trucks right front tire, what size and brand are those? I was thinking those would make good snow tires for a deuce. Any thoughts?

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    on top of that, in all of my research to find parts, I have never been able to find the correct proportioning valve. I'm sure that I could find one that worked but it would be guessing at best. If I knew the specs of the original it would make things much easier.

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    just a guess but I think liability has a lot to do with it.

    Lost Second Gear

    I am looking for an experienced opinion here. So, just for discussion's sake, since the hub isn’t supposed to turn on the shaft anyway, and if the shaft and hub aren’t too far gone, couldn't they be cleaned up new keys inserted and put back together or would the increased clearance between...

    HEMTT Wheels for Your Deuce are READY TO ROLL!

    donk, yes, the 251 is digital. it has just 2 dials as well, voltage and wire speed. rat, it does spray very well. But it is in the upper levels of the capabilities so the duty cycle will eventually be an issue. Not that it really matters, I never push it that much anyway. The 251 belongs to me...
