Since most of the information I needed was here already, I'll revive this thread. I had a trashed set of bows and stakes (none of which were in one complete piece). I'm wanting to make my own set and I have the lengths here. The only thing I don't know is how much curvature should be in the...

I'd imagine that the 5.9 weighs less than the LDT by about 500lbs then? That'd help out the front springs, especially on a w/w truck.

Unfortuneatly my truck is still down, awaiting a new clutch. Hopefully, I'll be ready to put that in once in warms up a little. If you could and want to help wrench one of these weekends, let me know and I'll give you a call when I get the parts.

Someone is putting a flatbed on a bobbed Deuce and mounting the stacks like you're describing. I want to say it's wreckerman, but I could be wrong?

Technically, yes. Safely, no.

Doesn't seem to be that bad. I printed off the sections of the 2815-210-34 TM's (-2-1, -2-2) that pertain to it.

Mechanically the truck has been great. It made a trip from Atlanta to Louisville and a round trip from here to St Louis and back. The StL trip home is when I noticed the clutch and that lead me to the rear main as well. I'll probably go with BKubu and put a new clutch disk and rear main in it...

That's not an option right now, I might be moving soon and there's no easy way to move a parted out Deuce :|

I can't afford it right now, I was just curious.

How much did one set of stuff for that run?

**EDIT** Not selling the truck anymore, I've made some money happen. Due to some circumstances beyond my control, I might have to sell the Deuce. I don't know what a fair price to ask for it would be. I know what I paid for it, but I'm sure it's not worth that now. It's a 1969 M35A2 w/w truck...

I can't help you ID the truck, but it looks like it's in pretty good shape.

Can you go into any details?

$5500 seems a little spendy for that truck. In my amateur opinion, $3500 would probably be more realistic. Nice looking truck none-the-less, especially for rolling off the trailer 11 years ago.

I didn't have the 2815 tm's, just the first set. The instructions in the -34's are very handy! I got all the relative articles printed out. Thanks for the advice.

I have digital copies of those TM's, I'll have to dig through them and find out what you're talking about.

That's an awesome tip on the pilot bearing! A short hijack, what's the best tool for the rear main? I'll be doing a clutch job on my truck soon and the rear main needs reaplced.

FWIW, other than acceleration, my NA truck will haul a$$ once it's up to speed. Bringing it home through the TN hills (from Atlanta to Louisville), I could still keep it over 50mph. Only twice did I have to shift down to 4th gear. It's needing a tune up now... filters and such, and the clutch...

I was asking in regards to a "commercial" dump truck for a construction company.

Looks like I'm just going to order up a whole set (oil/fuel) come tax time.
