    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    Great weather today so I decided to continue my engine swap. Here is another shot of the passenger side bellhousing mount that was finished last week. Tons of room in the engine bay. Note the surface rust on the bellhousing mount from a few days in Louisiana humidity (even with the hood...

    bobbing a deuce

    Wow, Canadians don't type "eh" at the end of every sentence. :D Good luck on finding a MLVW. They have an auto transmission, singled out wheels/tires, and ether start on them (I think). That makes 'em a little better than our M35A2s IMHO.

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    My goal is to make it a daily driver for commuting to work (20 miles round trip). Parades will be much easier with the automatic transmission because I won't have to push the clutch and brake pedals in each time a youngster jumps out in front for that special piece of candy that caught their...

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    Tom, I planned on wiring the 12v fan clutch using my PCMDS that I purchased last year. It isn't installed yet, but do you see a problem with running several 12v and 24v taps from the distribution box? Link here...

    Exhaust Smoke

    Every time you crank a deuce the white smoke is the spirit of a little baby seal that dropped dead at the North Pole. I haven't killed one in a LONG TIME, but I hope to be on the road soon. Black smoke is just dead pulverized dinosaur juice.

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    Finally got back to working on my deuce. For the past few months I've been really busy at both my day job (engineer at a chemical plant) and at the website consulting business that I own. Attached are a few shots of the companion flange that I purchased from Drivetrain America in order to...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Finally got back to working on my deuce. Finished installing the custom Black Rock Fab passenger side bellhousing mount on my Cummins 6BT. Next, I installed the new 24v starter. If the rain holds out tomorrow I will install the driver side bellhousing mount and measure for a future custom...

    Lock outs, locking themselves problem.

    I have been self nominated to help you with a small grammar lesson for future posting purposes. You posted: "I have sense bobbed..." and "I have sense installed..." What it should have been: "I have since..." Just trying to make sense of it all. :beer: On another note, how do you like your...

    New Custom Hitch Install

    Nothing until I finish putting in that 5.9 cummins! rofl I think Kyle at BlackRockFab said the hitch was designed to pull eleventy billion pounds. Heaviest thing I could think of would be my ex-gf on roller skates. I might need some detroit lockers for a load that size though!

    New Custom Hitch Install

    Great job on the custom hitch. I envy your fab skills and completed budget. I raise you one pic of my hitch. :) I outsourced it to BlackRockFab, but I didn't mind.

    Cool Video of self driving trucks

    Shoot the spinning thing on the roof. Computer reboots. Truck comes to a screeching halt. Looters run wild.

    U bolts up or Down?

    My rear u-bolts are up, but I'm running deuce front springs in the rear. The front u-bolts are down because I haven't messed with the front suspension (other than grinding on the bottom perches to change the caster).

    Air assist drag link too short

    You need to chunk that puny steering riser arm before somebody gets hurt. Attached are pictures of my riser arm that has a 8" rise over stock to account for my lift kit. The riser arm is 1" thick and has a 3/8" gusset. Just give Blackrockfab.com a call or email and he will make you one just...
