yup, me too :) I did a search on "split rim safety" and it made me reconsider the deuce! What's so great about split rims? They must have used them for some reason Can the split rims be modified to be standard rims, ditch the ring part? can the standard non directional tube tires run...

just seeing if anyone is along Highway 95 between Fruitland, ID and Winnemucca, NV and 80 between Winnemucca and Reno? it's a longshot, but just IN CASE anything happens....... Nah, I better not jinx myself

no kidding? call me a tire dimwit, but doesn't that defeat part of the purpose of radials, is that they're tubeless? Doesn't the tube increase wear? Do they make tubes that conform to the more square profile of radials?<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_idea.gif" alt="Idea">

are the stock split rims modified, or do you use all new rims?

will an 11.00x20 tire fit in the stock spare tire carrier behind the cab step? It looks like a tight fit as it is with the 9x20.....

will do, I guess Alamo really is a one stop diesel shop! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

just trying to gather up everything I might need for my trip back- is there a substitute for the 13/16" budd socket? I can't seem to find one very easily in town. Will a crescent do the trick in a pinch?

yes I am- thanks for the tip! I was thinking, would it be better to remove the outside tires, then the inners, then put the outsides back on? is that possible? It would keep the same stance. Again, I'm worried about wheel bearing load but since there's no extra weight the four bearings...

yup, sorry- the bolts holding the front flange on, the 8 1/2" bolts. My new flange is 1/4" so I'll need shorter than stock but I don't know the stock length, thanks!

cool, I may go the quick connect under the dash approach cause I'm more familiar with that. What would I need to hook up the glad hand to the truck? You say it's already on there, would I just need the hose with the glad hand adapter, and it plugs right in? thanks <img...

can you mount tubeless radial tires on the stock deuce rims? the stock NDT tires are tubed, correct?

rather than single rear wheel my truck the right way before I bring it home (lots of added labor and parts costs I'm more inclined to put off, plus time involved), is it possible, now don't laugh, to just remove the rear outside wheels? Will the truck still run, like there won't be a bunch of...

I'm just bumping this up in case anybody missed it :) I pick my deuce up Oct. 29th and hope to pop the flanges right on. If anybody knows the length, great. Otherwise, I'll go 1/2" coarse, 3/4 or 1" long to be safe.

yes yes yes! AR-TI-CLE AR-TI-CLE AR-TI-CLE sweet, man, I'm drooling over here. Great job, if it's no trouble could you snap some bigger pics and e-mail me ? I'd love to see some details of the longer tubes you made, the front lift and what mods exactly were necessary to fit the tires, and...

I've heard it was more a mechanical reliability problem, but they are less powerful as well

I was looking at a cross reference chart, and it appears that if the model is a turbo M35A2, than it has to be the LDT-465. Is this correct? there's no danger that the truck I'm looking at could have the 427 motor, right? thanks!

cool, it's good to know those are available. Are they just a standard thread or did you get them someplace special?

you know, I've noticed that myself. A lot of stuff I search for returns SS forum posts. Good thing. Well, it's bad for me since all the stuff I search for returns my posts on the forum! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif"...

GREAT JOB! thanks so much, will come in very handy soon

....#186 from Alex, instead I'm getting #380 listed on their site now! www.idahomotorpool.com check it out. Good news is I pick it up in two weeks, can't wait! This one has less options but it fits my budget much better, and sounds like a strong runner. Will keep you posted of course...
