Probably about 3000# with the floor and the windows taken out. It's been over a year since we got rid of it that I can't be sure. Here's the semi-finished result.

Thanks, Guys. The wheels will be well chocked. Got the jack stands covered. Don't know about quality, but they're from Harbor freight, 12 ton size, and look pretty good.

Does an air actuated front axle HAVE to have air pressure in order to stay locked? I need to lift the whole rear end of the truck, but will have to do the work (rear-end change out) in my driveway, which is at a slight decline towards the front of the truck. It'll be well chocked but I'd like to...

I figure carbon footprint of production = price of said POS to produce without subsidies. As for parking, I never park it anywhere where it is likely, or even possible, to box it in.

Can't help you with that sticker, but I have this one ready to go on the bob.

I run 1100-20 Michelins and have the hubs flipped for running singles. I ran out and took a few pics for you. My bed sits on the original deuce wood (1" ?) and there is not alot of extra room in there, about 2" diagonally. You could raise the bed a couple of inches and trim the ends of the...

That's a decent looking crane, should do the trick, with some caveats. The winch is really not much good for pulling heavy things up; rather use the hydraulics for that. I used a HF crane in bobbing my deuce, and when I picked up anything heavy I brought it up as far as it'd go, blocked up the...

Thanks! One more question: Does the vent have to act in only one direction, or can it act in both?

I don't want to hijack a thread but this is very similar to a problem I'm having with my bobber. I did finally make a power bleeder and this worked great for getting the pedal up, no play at all. Did back off the brake adjustments in the rear (after the brakes had heated up badly) and this gave...

What is the shelf life of unopened gallon of DOT 5 brake fluid. I just got a gallon of NOS, dated 1994. Is it safe to use? (And yes, I did search and couldn't find anything.)

How about using a short bus and a mid-engine install?

If you have to ask, then a Bob is probably not for you. You'll know if and when it's time to bob when the truck (figuratively speaking) grabs you by the collar and yells "BOB ME!" All other reasons for bobbing are just used to justify the uncontrollable urge to turn your stock deuce into...

A minivan seat is a good place to start. They usually have seatbelts incorporated into their frame. (Of course, if it makes sense it's probably not legal out there.)

Here's a sleeper bobbed deuce me and Badga worked up. Did this a few years back with an ambulance chassis and a stand up sleeper. The kids loved riding in the back.

What you are describing is a Vietnam guntruck. This has all been done before in Vietnam, and they tried sandbags between the hardened plates (no mild steel) and when wet it became too heavy. Only very early guntrucks were based on deuces as the armor and equipment bogged them down too much...

I just cut up one of those last weekend! Safety tip: Don't let any of the pieces fall on your foot!:shock:

I think the Bad Guys zeroed in on the word "Soldier" in the site name.

5500 btu won't cut it except to blow some cold air at your head. I actually did this with a dc powered ac generator (a dynamo?). Have never seen another of these. 24V input inverters are also very expensive and not in the same class as the 12v chinese invertors. It'd be less expensive to run a...

Paid about this at Inland Truck in Austin. I looked them up but they don't have any locations out with you.

Those would look and work really great on my Bob!
