Make sure you attach the cable to the little bracket to pull it away from the belt. It will tear up the cable and belt if you don't

I've removed A LOT of seized deuce lug nuts, sure wished they had anti seize on them. Even if the lube caused a 50ft lbs increase, that will not cause the studs to stretch. If you sit there and hammer down on them with a 3/4 or 1" impact for a while they will stretch regardless if there is...

If its anything like the 16.5" hummer bead locks with run flats it's not hard at all. I'm sure the parts being bigger and heavier will make it more difficult.

I was talking about the cracks. Just check out a vehicle with around 100K on the brakes most likely will have similar cracks.

Brake rotors do this all the time too, looks normal to me.

I guess I was more prepared, triple 12K axles, 12 14 ply tires and 6 16" drum brakes just on the trailer equals smooth sailing. That load could accelerate, brake and corner better than a stock unloaded deuce. Truck didn't even squat.

I've hauled a couple M35's now, you need a good truck and trailer to make it a smooth experience. My 2012 F450 handled the load amazing, cruise was on 70 for 3 hrs. The load was right at 24,000, GVWR for my truck is 33,000, so I was close to maxed out. I'd pull that load across the country if...

I know all about these suckers. One of my trucks snapped the bolts right off, the other was done previously and someone welded the bracket on. My current truck was untouched and I left it that way.

There are 2 bolts that go through the bracket into the bottom of the rocker panel.

If that's the case there is not back side of the bolt, they have threaded inserts in the rocker panel, you can not get to them. If they break or spin it has to be cut out and repaired or you can weld the bracket to the cab

Are you talking about the bracket under the cab?

Drive shaft length depends on the rpms it will see and tubing size. A good rule of thumb is never do a one piece longer than 72", at that length it's near impossible to balance regaurdless of tubing size.

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. Me plowing into a car with a stock deuce and a bobbed one is going to make absolutely no difference if that person wants to sue me. People get sued all the time while driving normal vehicles, happened to family members and a very good friend of mine...

There is no difference if I'm driving an all original empty deuce, and something happens. Seems every time a modified or weighted down deuce is discussed it will kill a bus load of nuns if it's put on the public roads. The fact is most of the military vehicles on this site are very old and...

I'd put 4200 lbs in the bed of a bobbed deuce, just get the load in the bed right. I'm around 4000lbs on my F450 when my camper is hooked to it. Whether the deuce is rated for it or not, it's parts are double the size of my pickup's, if it drives and stops good, I'd roll with it.

I'm in the middle of a resto mod and the cab is not on. I'm trying to get everything done while I have a lot of room. I figured the shifter bolted to the frame. Thanks for the help!!

Those pics still don't show where the shifter in the parts diagram is mounted. Where to the small carrier bearings bolt? Where is the shifter supposed to be, in the cab?

That's exactly what I have. The thread that was linked showed no pics or diagrams of it bolted up. It did tell me the shift linkage on the box itself is upside down on mine. The diagram on that thread is not the same shifter as far as I can tell. Just showed pics of the shifter just laying...

Found those and just skimmed and didn't see pic of the shifter I have bolted up. I guess I don't have everything, only linkage I got was the long piece with the little carrier bearings on it and the small tie rod that bolts to the pto shifter.

OK, I got the rear pto all bolted up and looks like it's going to work perfect for my needs. I got the shifter too and I have no idea where it mounts or how it mounts for that matter. Any body have any pics? I searched the site and yahoo, I found nothing.
