    Dump Conversion

    BTY, what type of lift? I have a hydraulic driven by an electric pump and am very pleased with the performance. Especially prefer the power-down as opposed to bleed down. It is slower but allows more control.

    Dump Conversion

    Also want to think about the pressure of the lift created by the hinge point and lift point. Unless you change the bed or double rail bed and/or deuce, you are stressing a bed not made to perform as a dump. The farther back the lift and greater angle, the more psi on the hinge point and lift...

    Dump Conversion

    Recommend more than 45# ; but be careful north of 55 or 60 #'s because of the narrow track of the deuce. It can get very top heavy...

    bigger engine, and different tranny in deuce?

    With all the mods you are listing, there is very little "deuce" left. Are you looking for a modern truck with the military look? Also, I have never wanted to get my truck much faster because the brakes have always been the weak link in these trucks. If you do all the mods you mentioned then...

    I am in there for one if you decide to bid. BYW, I was going to get with you on the troop seats from the trucks I bought in Camilla. We were going to meet during my return trip. I made the trip while the forum was down, we couldn't hook up. However, it didn't make much difference because...

    The joys of owning a deuce....

    Great to go roaring thru town; Some of the guys (most of them in their 50's and 60's) will turn or walk to the curb to watch you pass.....that distinctive deuce sound is hard to forget.......especially if it was coming or going to pick you up for a ride in the back! I had to buy one before I...

    a good laugh

    [:)] I know how you feel..... However, I will confess to a much more stupid mistake.... When I was having the dump bed installed on my truck, the guy wanted me to drive it and charge the batteries so he could crank it without jumping it every time. Sure......... :hop: so I hop in the...
