I have a chance to buy some 16.00R20 tires for my bobbed /air ride deuce. I realize these should be on wider wheels, but I haven't found any yet ( I am looking at having the stock wheels widened,but would love to be able to mount them and drive my truck while this is happening). Has anyone put...

Pics up!..My bob/air ride is on its' way to getting done! I am finally making progress with my M35A2. The old suspension is gone (man, I hate those rivets). I picked up the back half of a road tractor with a freightliner air ride, cut the suspension from the frame (alot easier to remove than...

I have my old bed gone,fixing to cut out the tandems,and have my m105 trailer in standby. I found a good source for a freightliner air-ride suspension. Is there enough room to keep the spare tire carrier and fuel tank with the shorter wheel base using the 105 bed? I forgot to measure the length...

The turbo has a metal pipe heading towards the oil pan, with a short section of rubber hose connecting it to a nipple just above the oil pan. Mine is leaking ,is there anything special about the hose? Can I just put a temperature rated rubber hose from an automotive application, or do I need to...

My original thread about a possible IP problem sort of shifted gears into what deuce am I actually looking at, it is titled and marked as a 1952, but the general consensus seems to be that it was probably a gasser upfitted by the military at some point to a hercules multifuel, the only info that...

Help me buy this deuce, problem ?PICs up..BOUGHT IT TODAY!! I looked at a 1952 M35A2 today, it has the hercules engine with the D turbo, while driving the engine would sometimes hesitate on constant throttle ( like someone turning a light switch off and then on,very quickly), and a couple of...

I recently had to change my flywheel. Instead of dropping the whole unit, I put 2- four inch long bolts in the bottom 2 holes betwwen the engine/tranny. Removed the 4 crossmember bolts and dropped the driveshafts at the diffs only,while a jack supported the assembly at the crossmember. After...
