I made my own wheels. It took 8 deuce wheels to make 4 widened wheels. I flipped the centers around and mad them 12" wide. Its ALOT of work but they look good and they were free!
I meant to say " I bobbed,lifted and installed 16r20s on my deuce" Couldnt spell of type when in school and its been along time since then and I am NO better now!!!!!:mad:
The 16r20s will slow it down some. I bobed, lifted and installed 16r20s on it and it does really good. Alot of people told me not to do it because it would kill it and I would lose 5th gear. Well it didnt and I didnt lose 5th. It cruises pretty good I think! I have driven plenty of treucks in NC...
1985mustang I am pretty sure in NC if it does not have air brakes and you tag it for under 26000 lbs you dont need a class b. It does not matter what the gvwr on the data tag says. you just cant go over the gvwr on the data tag no matter what lb tag you have or class of licenses you have. Just...
slickdeuce I would just do it. It is pretty easy to install. Mine came from a freightliner and went in nicely. Rides GREAT! I dont know how the peterbuilt set up like dirtygrunt used goes in but it looks pretty close to the freightliner. If you need any help I would be glad to answer any...

I have a friend that put 53"s on his m35a2 with no lift.The tires are close to the front fenders and the bed.He said the front rubbed the exhaust pipe and the rear would rub the bed. I put 53"s on mine also but I lifted mine 8".No rubbing and plenty of room.It could be done with 4" or 6" but the...
That truck looks great! You did a really good job. How does it ride?What size tires are you going to put on it and what kind of wheels are you going to use?I look forward to seeing it.I like it!:beer:
DG I remeber you now. Yes I made the wheels. There is alot of hours in them but they tured out pretty good I think. What all are you going to do to your deuce?Its looking great so far!:beer:
