    Did I just say that I would sell my 109?

    i think you should hang on to it... Seems like you can use a shop van with the luck you have with the drop on its side truck. But if you must sell it make sure you price it high enough it won.t turn into a bobber and a shed?

    dual wheel cylinders

    dual cylinder setups work like this.. Both cylinders are applied at the same time from fluid supplied from the same source.They are not run separately .One cylinder is at the top where there is one normally the other is located at the bottom in place of the anchoring pin.

    dual wheel cylinders

    It would give more braking power depending on the size of the cylinders.There would still be some kind of adjustments in there .Drum brakes are not self adjusting due to the way the return springs pull the shoes back in . The return springs would pull the shoes in to far to have any brakes if...

    bobbing a m923?

    Not sure why you would want or need to bob the m923. Not like it is under powered and you are obiously use to driving big trucks. imo the rear suspension is what makes these trucks so capable offroad.

    Hauling a deuce frame.

    I would make a sturdy (ladder rack ) for the bed of the deuce then strap it to that leaving it to hang over the front and maybe a couple feet off the back. That way you dont have to worry about it hitting the trailer or tracking bad in tight turns.i would probably use some 2.5x2.5 1/4 wall...
