    Aircraft Insulation in the Deuce?

    bjorn i believe you are right but maybe not for noise redution .rather they might have done that to leave an air gap so it could dry out if it got wet. that way it wouldnt rot the cab out of cuase mildew or mold to form.even thought the air gap would help with sound deadining and would give...

    Aircraft Insulation in the Deuce?

    printing them to size isnt a problem just print them off your computer .then go to kinkos they can do copies big enough to do them and they can blow it up from your orignal as long as you know how much you need to blow them up.so if you did them to scale it work just fine

    almost all duallies have a 34 inch frame as well as most medium and heavy duty trucks to its pretty standard with dual wheels since the frame cant be wider or the tires will hit the frame.

    Making a Deuce a (better) highway vehicle?
