s you can see from my avitar, i bobbed a deuce and made it into what you see there. that being said, i wanted to get the advise of the members on an idea i have to make the truck ride smoother and steer better. i measured the distance from the frame to the floor at the front axle and got 32.5...
pulled the starer and a bunch of grease and oil cam out and has filled the bell housing. What causes it and how hard is it to fix? will it affect the operation of the truck?? should i bother fixing it or leave it alone.
i would like to know if the "D" turbo is a better turbo or if it is just quieter. i had a "C" and upgraded to a "D" after i got tired of the "C" whistle..
i run the same on my truck at 40 in the back and 45 on the front. i have have no problems so far, but now i am going to get off my butt and get my davit built so i can change a tire and not have to leave the old one in the bushes for a latter recovery.

the riveted ones are from early Deuces before they were send to depo for rebuild. they are fine to use, and they make it easy to get a center section for other rims. grind off the rivet, and heat up the shaft, and punch out the rivet. easier than a cutting torch, and much cleaner.
