    Price being no object, which one would you run? (coilovers that is)

    New site looks great, wish that I had come by you sooner! Will the FOA coilovers fit the same mounts as a King coilover? 2.5" remote res.,12" travel. I set up my Chevy for Kings, but the FOA's sound pretty good.

    Off Road Fab, I paid a local machinist $400 to make me 4 sets of tube clamps for 2" O.D..120 wall DOM about 6 months ago. How long have you offered these? I was going to get them from ballistic fab but they hadn't made that size yet and didn't know when they were going to get around to it. WOW...

    It is a 1955 Chevy Cameo pickup (screenname 55Cameo :P ) tube chassis, rockwells, narrowed front, 2 1/2 ton discs, 2" overson rear shafts w/lockers front and rear, 502 chevy crate motor, th400, np205, NOS fogger, fiberglass body, coilovers, 4 links, and a whole lot more. Those pics are a couple...

    Thanks, I wish that I had purchased my axles for my other project from Offroad Fabworks. I wouldn't have had all of the problems that I did with USA6x6.

    It wasn't mine at mudfest, I wish that I had it finished I would have gone. Just finished putting the bed on today. Still have to put on the mudflaps and change out the clutch. Pics.

    I didn't know that there were Deuce wreckers. I had a 5 ton wrecker in the military and that was a lot of fun. Would have been great doing this project. My bottle jack has gotten a workout.

    Stazworks makes nice wheels. There is also a guy in Jacksonville, Fl. who makes nice ones, I will see if I can dig up his #. Got the bed welded together today and started lifting the bed up so I can back the truck under it. Not really a fun or safe job, but I do with what I have. A lot of...

    I don't know about a speed rating on the tires. I've heard people taking their trucks up to 80 with these xzl's (not on a deuce) My deuce was running 63mph with 11.00 r 20's at 2600rpm. With the 53" xzl's I haven't turned it over 1900rpm's so I don't know what top speed is yet. Needs clutch...

    No they haven't gotten any better. I ordered rebuilt and shortened axles for another project that I am building along with the wheels. Axles were supposed to have chrome moly lockers, they came with mild steel lockers (I paid for chrome moly). The 4 wheel disc brakes weren't set up correctly...

    Is this a direct swap? Clutch, driveshaft and everything? I do need to put a clutch in immediately, but I don't have enough 'road' time to see if I still need or want the overdrive.

    There are a lot of discussions on this site about putting power steering onto a Deuce using a power steering gearbox from a 5 ton or f700 or something like that. You would need to make a column though for the box sitting on the lower frame section to make the hookup to the axle O.K. The wheels...

    I believe that the only bumper height restrictions apply to vehicles under 5000lbs. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I know that there is a headlight height restriction of 53" from center of headlight to the ground or less that I need to address. I am, however, going to be putting another bumper...

    Haven't finished the bed yet, just finished the rest of the truck 4 days ago. Her are some pics of the side view. I will post a slew of pics when the bed is installed.

    Thanks everyone, it's good to hear positive comments after all that was involved. I can't wait to go to the rally. It looks like I might only be able to attend 1 day Sat or Sun. I hope that I can come longer.

    I have 7, 11.00 R 20 Goodyear tires on Deuce wheels that are going with me to the rally if no one picks them up first. Excellent condition.

    Yeah, I figured that if I don't get any bites before then I will just take them with me to the rally. Does anyone know what a set of 7 with very low miles should go for?

    My plan is to finish it up and bring it to the rally. It's only a couple of hours from me and this thing drives pretty good. Just got to cut down the bed and replace the clutch. Here are the pics of the front frame sections. Also, I have the singles that came off of this truck if anyone is...

    I will go out and take some front frame pics and get them posted. I was going to go to mudfest, but after the last week and a half thrashing to get this torn apart and back together and still needing to put in a new clutch and cut down the bed, I don't think that I am going. You know, wife says...

    I used a torch to cut off the rivet heads then used it to blow out a little of the shank inside. Then immediately use a air hammer with the straight pointed punch to hammer out the rest of the rivet. (Don't do this at night if you have neighbors, it really ticks them off) For the driveshaft...
