Is there not a shear pin in that linkage?

Not many miles so the maintenance is easy. It should be the fun part of the hobby but I have not had to do a real big repair so far. Keep up the fluids and drive it responsiblly and the maintenance is minor. My wife's modern jeep requires much more maintenance than my truck. Bill in TN...

Excellent work and conversion. this idea certainly give more thought to getting a tractor and converting it. where did you find the bed? thanks for sharing, Bill WOR

RE: Paint how did you do your prep work? water blasting? Look great. Bill

Mike, I think you would need to remove the tool box and batteries at least, I have scraped my steps a little but really by going slow, don't seem to have much of an issue driving it where it can go. You have to plan your route a bit more. Bill WOR

Another good looing USAF truck. It looks really clean and well cared for. Welcome and congrats.. Bill

Outstanding shots...dueces do pretty well in the mud. That 5 ton really gets around also....glad you had good weather.. Bill WOR

Easy now, maybe it is just the weather..heavy snows.. Nice truck and are your tires 12.5 or 11's? Bill

Yep. those are XLs and mine look the same also.

Here is a C303 that was redone here in TN. A pretty amazing truck. Bill

Get a regular one, drive it some, and then decide if you want to alter it. Bill WOR

RE: nice find! I was watching it too as it was below 2K. Should be nice with a little tlc...

After seeing some photoshops, it is amazing in real life. How was the back cab joined up with the front cab? Bill WOR

12.5 x 20 XLs on my truck. Great traction and decent ride. Bill WOR

I think that there are some large enough but would really drain the batteries. Look around for a PTO one as they can be found on projects trucks. I think the HMMV use an eletric one. Bill

RE: Knock Knock again Mike, thanks for the photos as it continues to remind me the size of these trucks and I only have a duece. How long did this take you to do and easier or harder than a gas engine? Bill

Great looking truck and getting a runner is a plus also. Ford superduties are real nice trucks. A buddy has a F350 supercab dually that get around 18 miles pergallon with the powerstroke. Pretty amazing for a large truck..

Todd, thanks for the photos and sliding those big duals on the hubs must have been a real pull... Bill WOR

Let us know how it works. It might be good for running air tools with the extra air. Bill WOR

Steve, I also purchased a pair of heavy duty batteries from Mart Of Wal and with an solargarzier, they have lasted 3 years. Bill WOR
