The rear axles on a deuce are mounted on what's called a bogie and trunion assembly. The two axles are mounted on an inverted leaf spring set with the middle of the leaf springs mounted on a pivoting trunion between the axles and the ends of the leaf springs rest on top of the axles with torque...

I was reading the specs on them and marveling at the current draw numbers. On a 24v system, 1.0 amp draw on low beam and the high beam current draw is 1.8 amp! That's amazing considering the amount of light you get from these! I want a pair so bad I can taste it! I remember how inadequate the...

I could only hope Santa drops a pair of those in my stocking this Christmas! :beer:

Exactly why I have the original steering wheel chain locked on the wheel in my deuce and a matching padlock on the step box door! Not to mention the hidden cutout for the main power switch. :roll:

Ah gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. :driver:

I was about to ask when they named a lake after my sister-in-law, but I looked again and see it's "Elephant Butte". I read it wrong the first time! rofl

You've got several options for parts for your deuce: C&C Equipment, Boyce Equipment Axles and Military Parts, and of course Military vehicles for sale, surplus military vehicles for sale to name a few.[thumbzup]

Ok, I'm a little confused. You're adding that little sleeper, that part I get, but are you gonna shorten the bed, lenghen the frame, or go for the long bob with one rear axle and M105 bed behind the sleeper? :popcorn:

Looks pretty good, but you could probably stand to lower the muffler about 6 or 8 inches. I have a muffler on my deuce and it really makes a huge difference in the decibel level, but the whistler comes through loud and clear. At idle, the exhaust note is not much louder than a whisper. Also, the...

G.M.T.A.! [thumbzup]

Interesting concept, but I get the feeling the modifications to the shelter box would be a nightmare. In my opinion, it would be much cooler if you could either get an M36 chassis to drop your crew cab onto and mount a standard M109 shelter box, or do a chassis stretch by joining 2 sections of...

May your drained gear oil be chunk-free! [thumbzup]

Congrats on your new aquisition! There's something about a deuce that puts a smile on your face weather you're standing outside just looking at it or out driving her down the road. You'll also notice the difference in the looks you get after a little while and you can tell who the vets are with...

Congrats on the new aquisition! Looks you're off to a good start! :driver:

Congrats on your aquisition, and welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy! A winch and a hard top definately aren't deal breakers for what you paid for that combo! You have an awsome foundation to build on! Some of us would call it a "Do it yourself bobber kit", and the purists all cringe and...

Well Mike, since the original deuce rear end setup is what's called a trunion/bogie assembly. The 2 rear axles are joined together front to rear with leaf springs on top and torque rods on the bottom. the leaf springs are hard mounted to a spindle called the trunion with roller bearings and an...

Welcome to the Green Disease! As a fellow bobber fan, there's tons of info and pics to be found here, youtube and through the regular net search engines. There's a plethora of different ways to do a bobber, as I've found in my research for the past couple years. If you study and compare, you'll...

My favorite method is to put the water contaminated oil into 3-Litre soda bottles and prop them upside-down in the sun for a couple days. When the water is all settled at the bottom, I crack the cap loose, and carefully loosten the cap enough to let the water run out as I gently squeeze the...

She looks great! Nice job on the paint! I can't wait to see what she looks like as a VN-era gun truck! :beer:

DH said it first. Good catch! I forgot to mention that 2 or 3 quarts of ATF makes for good IP lube, but ya don't wanna get dipped because of the red dye in the ATF. :whistle:
