I dont know about you guys, but I actually thought my idea for this was pretty straight forward. Two parts, re-plumb some brake lines, fab up a brake pedal, and done. Now these may not be the exact parts I'd use, but something similar enough would absolutely do the job. Tuff Stuff 2124NB 9"...

I'm just brainstorming here guys, try to be gentle if I'm totally off base, but why couldn't you use a medium duty truck MC along with its vacuum booster can and then get an electric vacuum pump. If the power is cut, for whatever reason, I assume the check valve on the booster would allow you...

I have been working on my deuce every weekend for 3 months. Its almost finished, and once I start driving it, i'm sure the repair jobs will start to mount. We'll see!

the stock deuce system will not run a 3/4 from what I've read on here, it takes some upgrading, tanks, lines, adapters, etc. that may come in time, but for now I just needed to mount my tires. Also, even if I get a 3/4 gun, I'll still have that tire tool, the grade 8 bolt, and my 4 foot bar on...

Well I did figure out how to use this tool without the issued cross bar or a TR5 bar. I put a 6" 3/4" Grade 8 bolt through the tool, then put a 1" pipe inside a 11/4" 4' long pipe and was able to break the lugnuts without bending anything else. I used a high lift jack on the free end of the...

Yeah I already found both tools in the catalog. The problem with the catalog is that the diameter of the TR11 isn't stated, so I dont know if its still a 3/4 diameter. I was hoping somebody on here had some first hand experience with the TR11 or the TR5. The tool catalog doesn't have the...

I dont think I'll justify this with an answer. Moving on. I would like to ask my original question again and see if anyone knows if the TR11 will fit in the standard deuce tool? If not then maybe the TR5 with a 6ft 1 1/4" pipe is the ticket. Just afraid I'll bend that bar too. How long...

I have one exactly like this that I just bought. I looked up Ken tools and found the TR5 and the TR11 cross bars. I know the TR5 will fit, not sure about the TR11 (which is supposed to be heavier duty and longer) . I need to find out though, I am trying to change my tires right now and I bent...

I am currently making my deuce a 4 door. I'd never done anything like it before, and the cab itself was a cinch. The big issue, as I see it, will be the top. I think I will take that to a body shop and have them stretch it for me. It'd probably be pretty easy with a slip roller, but I dont...

Well first, the deuce is geared so low for a couple of reasons. One is due to the engines relatively low power to weight ratio when compared to the weight of the truck. That is why you have that 1:1 and axle ratios of 6.72:1 (most civilian truck applications are 4.11:1 or 3.73:1) Another...

If somebody wants to buy my next deuce for me, I'd be happy to keep it or change it to their specs...but so long as I'm paying the bills...I do what I want. ;)

The thing about non-bobbed trucks and there lack of shocks is that in a trundle suspension system there are torsion bars and packs that make up for a true shock, but the torsion bar is still dampening a ton of that vibration. I bet the ford F550's and f 650's have shocks...and I know that all...

I'd say do it. All vehicles have shocks...might as well go with the flow and put them in. wont hurt a thing, and it might be a nicer ride.

cool, all I needed to know. thank you for your advice.

I have some 15.5's and some hemtt wheels I need to mount soon, and I was wondering what the pros and cons were for innertube use concerning offroad applications. I understand the wheels were built to be tubeless, but I wanted to know it it was safe to use tubes, and also, what advantages...

anyone have any idea what color carc they use on US army helos? Its an extremely dark shade of green, definitely not 383, but still light enough that black shows up nicely....anyone? Thats going to be the color of my deuce!

I just wanted to give some serious rep power to Derek with TTC. I just got home from a 12 hour round trip drive to pick up a load of deuce parts. He could not have been more helpful, his prices were extremely reasonable (and less than anyone else I found), and he seems like a good guy in...

Not sure if this has been discussed or not, but the international bus is most likely going to have an international 7.3 liter in it...yes, it is the same engine used in the ford pickups until about 02-03 or so.... Dont just limit your options to a bus, any diesel pick up truck engine is going...

Workout 2 is coming soon. I'll be lifting the cab, mounting wheels and tires. Pics posted in the next week or so.
