    Chevy/Ford Body on deuce frame??

    ya something like that but i would mount my front suspension farther forward. i think one of those old 1970s gmc -white cab over cabs would work nicely or one of the ones from the ford cab overs like from 1960-1980s

    from what i have seen and read that turbo wont clear the starter being on the pass side thats why you have to use the 5 ton bell housing adapter and run the starter on the driver side

    will a 5 ton lds intall to a deuce

    it depend on which lds you are talking about .the lds 465 has a waste gate turbo that wont clear the starter being on the pass side the lds427 has a turbo very similar to the one on the deuce and will clear the starter just fine.they run different turbos on motors that shouldnt have had them ...

    Going Single

    i dont think running the tires to the outside will change the load on the wheel bearings that much .either way you put them they are mounted to the hub off center so the wheel is trying to leverage the hub wethee they are pointed in as singles are normally run or pointed out with the hubs being...

    Aircraft Insulation in the Deuce?

    i would use some rubber work out mats they have nipples or ribs that keep them off the floor and would create a gap for air to dry things out and they would do more for sound deadining than weather proofing.but it would still be a big improvement over one layer of metal

    will a 5 ton lds intall to a deuce

    it has been done several times. i would think you would need to use the clutch disk from the deuce but they might be the same spline.you have to use the bell housing adapter from the five ton and it puts the starter on the driver side to make room for the bigger turbo

    possible deuce turbo problem

    i done run exhaust manifold gaskets on any big block fords as they will blow out and make the bolts break off. they dont leak without gaskets either as long as the surfaces are true it will seal up.i use a honing stone to flat sand them .they are rearly flat

    possible deuce turbo problem

    yes there is definately suppose to be a gasket between the turbo and the exhaust manifold .any exhaust leaks there will drastisticly ruduce the effectiveness of the turbo as it relies on the exspansion of exhaust gases to drive the tubro thats why they work better at higher egts. and a tubro...

    M35a2 block heater

    yes in a house it is different as you are talking about 20 ft not 20 inches and it is a 3/4 inch pipe not a 2.5 inch hose that .it.s more comparable to a bath tub.any water that goes into the tub levels out at a temp.if you add hot water it warms it all .the waterpump has a tube that goes right...

    Aircraft Insulation in the Deuce?

    i was thinkin that it has a removable top and the army designed these trucks to be used with or without the top and they even washed the trucks out with fire hoses after training exercises. so they surely wouldnt make it where it would hold water .they water proofed the gages and put canvas on...
