RE: unflipped hubs
No offense, but in the past whenever I saw a dually with only the outsides mounted, I would laugh to myself and think: ..... "Poorman's duals".. Why not, if you arent carrying alot of weight.It would be the same as a single axle truck, and they carry alot of weight. And...
As some of you know, I have been repainting the 211. On the chassis and attached parts, it was painted glossy black. This black paint was covered with couple different coats of O.D. The green paint is scaling off and the black is in good solid condition. The axles are O.D. I was under the...

:D I picked up the paint today and left work early and gave it another shot. This time was flat Olive Drab. Didnt cover as well as the last coat but it is half done and the rest is on order. This is the color I was intending on using. :roll:
