Ok guys, I have been all through the resources and old threads. Maybe I have missed it. But I need and exploded view of the old style deuce airpack. Also if there is a TM for rebuilding one that I missed that someone knows about please direct me there. Your wise help and sage words of wisdom is...

Thanks a lot. I hate when things are done halfway. I never knew there were part numbers and casting dates on windshield hinges until I hit them with a bead blaster.

I would like to do a M211 gasser with a caddy 500 engine and an automatic.

Thank you very much. We are putting a lot of effort into this Resto-bob. I think the end results will be worth the work.

Spent all weekend cutting and grinding on the frame and body. We have the frame rails stripped down and are ready to disassemble the trailer. The cab and body restoration is coming along well. The doors are primed and ready for paint and reassembly. I bead blasted everything that could be...

You can buy the auto bleeders that use a pull string you can mount at the step. Why would you need an air pig. You have an airline access uner the glove box. Put a quick disconnect on it and carry an airline in the tool box.

You can flip the hubs if you want to run singles instead of duals. The rear wheel is mounted dish in like the front. Then the tires track even front to rear. If you want to run 46" tires, you can just got to singles in the rear and run them dish out. That works fine to.

M715s are great. Especially with a small block chevy and deuce axles with 46" tires. Welcome to the site.

Waste acid makes a great weed killer. Just kidding.;)

You could prepare your fuel tank ahead of time by putting a hole in the top and brazing in the discharge end of a hand pump or air pump (If it were air you could plumb a hardline with a valve to it) Mount the pump suction end down off the rear (tire side) of the tank. Pull up the LUST drop a...

I dont think a breaker or fuse would work because of the huge current spike to the starter when it is first engaged from the batteries. You could hook up a quick disconnect in the starter wire line in case the starter shorts out. You can get these at NAPA and other places. They use them in drag...

Looks pretty nice to me. I dont think you will have any weight issues. In my old Army unit we used to strap the trucks camo netting to the fenders and never had any issues. And that camo netting is much heavier than your box

Welcome to the site and the addiction.

The answer to your issue is easy. You should have 2 deuces. One bobbed and one regular. Problem solved.

Balancing is very important. It can really add to wear on drive train parts. Clint at C&C Equipment in Indiana has the tubing for sale.

You guys be careful out there. You are all in My thoughts and prayers.

Just remember.... That which doesnt kill us, makes us stronger.

My boy redid the first video from when we brought the deuce home and got it running. I am posting it now.

This weekend was the biggest yet in the resto-bob. My son drove to Maryland to pick up some M34 wheels from Maryland, Thanks Jesse They are great. Then Sunday we pulled the bed and rear axles. The bed was easy. I was worried the axles would be hard. I have read horror stories. But it was...

Very nice. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
