I found a cheaper opened end wrench and a cheaper socket that had thinner walls and with a extension got them out. Most wrenches and sockets were too larger or had too thick of walls to work.
I got the box seat out. It has 4 bolts. I had to find a cheap socket that has thin walls to sit down on it. My good stuff had thick walls and would not work. Got it out, cleaned the cab and painted the dash, floor, fire wall, shifters, back wall and door sills today. Oh, I painted the base...
I changed the fuel filters, oil and oil filters and front shocks in my 68 deuce, changed the oil, filters and lubricated the 71 deuce. I painted the dash in the 68 yesterday and am trying to remove the box seat in my 68 right now to replace it with a springer seat. I have having a heck of a...
I am switching out my box seat for a spring seat on my deuce. The only problem is I cannot get a wrench on the four bolts on the inside corners that secure the seat box to ther floor. I cannot get a standard opened eneded wrench on them with much success or a socket because they are so close...

395's will work. I recently had a local tire dealer mount my 395's on stock rims and it works. You can use the flaps that are inside your rims now but you will need to get larger tubes. I think the tubes they put in mine are either 12x20 or 14 x 20 tubes.
Take the bags and put a 25, 10, 1 all stacked together. Really want to speed it up, heat the oil and it will run through like crazy. You can heat it over a propane burner and just warm it up. It will fly through the filters. Or when summer gets here put it out in the sun to naturally get...
I have a set in my truck. They came out of a Cessna. I got the whole setup on ebay for $35 (two headsets and the intercom box). I think its cool. Makes talking much easier, especially at highway speeds.
I have the 395's on mine and have been having issues with front end shimmy and bouncing at speeds above 40. I checked the drag link and its fully tightened. I then checked the shocks, they looked nice, but....after pulling them found they are shot. They do not respond and push back out. I...
Well this weekend I got it inside during the rain and changed out all the fuel filters and put on new front shocks. I thought it could use a new set and it did. The old ones after removal were determined to be completely shot. I now know for sure looks are not everyting especially with...
I took a drive shaft I had lengthened 5" when I went. I took the springs from a duece and a new set of U bolts from memphis equipment with me. Joe was ready and we got to work. If anyone is in the south east and wants to bob a duece and get it done quickly, affordably and with quality...
