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.
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...
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...
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...

Anyone we know? :roll...
Anniston hoist
HI RD:
If you buy the lot in Anniston, I will take one. Up to $100.00 per unit work for you? Also only fair to pitch in on your trip expenses...

[:)] 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...
I agree completely.......any of you gearheads want to tackle building an
airlock solution for the deuce? I can tell you there would be a market :burger:
haven't heard from sixbuy so they are yours...
Actually have two sets: just purchased two more M35A2's for conversion to a crane truck(with Bruce"s help!) and another that my nephew wants to convert to a dump. We are going to pick them up in the next 10 days...Don't need the troop seats for...
