This is a real delima for me. I love the way a deuce looks in stock form.

Originally, That is what I wanted to do. I fianlly decided against it when I relaized how well this truck can support our hobbies. Well, as soon as I over come the limited cab space anyway.

I did not think of installing doors on the rear section. That does sound awsome. And, I bet it would not require that much more in fab work. I was consdiering the idea od a semi sleeper. But I do nto think it would serve the dual purpose I am looking for. I need more than just a place to rest. I...

In my quest to make our deuce more versatile I am trying to figure out a way to make the cab comfortable for the three of use while traveling. My dilemma is I do not want to sacrifice bed space but I also do not want to stretch the frame. So, the only reasonable solution I can come up with is...

Thanks. I will give them a look.

As any old Dodge truck enthusiast knows, there is not a lot of aftermarket support for our trucks. I am fighting an uphill battle now trying to locate the parts I require for the auxiliary fuel tank on my 72 D200. I have been all over the internet and called multiple places in hopes of locating...

That was a little over my head.

That sounds like the perfect set up.

You just brought up somehting I have not put a lot of thought into yet. Where and how to mount both the alternator and the AC compressor.

I was hoping to mount the third battery elsewhere. However, it does make sense to keep them all in one spot.

That is a very goof point. Those can be pricey.

I know who you are reffering to I worked for them about 12 years ago. They do or did have a lot of starters and alternators for many applications. They rebiult them right there so the prices were usually pretty good.

Tonight when things calm down I will draw up a qucik digram of what I have in mind then scan it and post it. I will require some input. I have biult wireing harnesses before but not from scratch amd certain not begineing with a whole new charging system.

You know what man. I think that pushed me the rest of the way over. I have made a choice. I will go with the seperate 12V system and retain the stock 24 as well. I will have to make sure I plan out the project down to the last detail though. Once I biuld the wiring harness I do not want to go...

Very true. I have been through that beofre and I do not like it. I also like the fact that the stock 24V system will continue to work and get me home if the 12V system fails.

By the way Hunter, that is a awsome photograph in your avatar. I am starting to really agree that a 12V system is the way to go. However, I am still on the fence on whether or not I should convert the whole truck to 12V or just add a 12V system. Parker I am from Seffner. So I might know the...

Now that was informative, thanks. From my limited knowledge I am leaning towards adding a 12v. I think biulding the wireing harness will be time consuming but not all that complicated.

Um, yep. That did it. :shock:

That is interesting. I just assumed all of them had generators. I do not plan to take this truck through deep water. But then again we never really know where we will end up until we are there. So short answer, no I do not plan to ford this truck. I do want it to perfomr in a large varity of...

We were typing at the same time. No man, just the opposite. I am learning a lot from this thread. I see it will not be as simple as I had though. So I will have to plan very carefuly and make sure I have room to ad on later.
