    Move Stock Deuce Bed Back

    Like WM said, I'd go with air ride if I was going to do something like this. Your off road performance will suffer though if you do away with the stock suspension.

    Anybody planning to go to KNOB CREEK

    I didn't think I was going to make it but it turns out I'm heading out bright and early in the morning. Never been on Sun before but a friend of mine has and says it's a good day to go (less crowded). I worry that all the deals will be gone though. Gimpy, when you going to be there? I'll give...

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    Yes, water injection is a common mod to a diesel. The main thing with water injection is to have a good regulation of flow. Too much water injected and things can go really bad.

    Tanks for the memories

    If you do in fact get it, I've got a rig that can move it. I'm sure we could work something out.

    Tanks for the memories

    That's what you and Elmo need, a tank. And you thought that old wrecker would put you in the poor house.

    moving tandem axles?

    I think there are some pics floating around here where somebody has done it. It would be fairly easy but you're going to have to watch your driveshaft angles and find a new place for your fuel tank and spare.

    Move Stock Deuce Bed Back

    Most flatbed trucks are set up 60% in front of the axle and 40% behind the axle as this is considered the ideal bed placement. The problem is deuce is already almost 50/50. I'm afraid if you move the bed back any you'll have too much bed behind the axle and won't balance out well loaded. If I...

    GL site problems

    It just started working again. I got my bids in so all is good. Only thing that could be better is if the site goes down again, nobody can bid against me. :razz:

    Corn head grease in winch

    I filled mine but I don't recall. I know it was more than one because I remember changing tubes in the process. I just removed the drain plug and the fill plug, threaded grease gun hose directly onto the drain hole, and filled it until grease came out the fill hole. Treeguy, I wouldn't worry...

    Deuce Tailgate Crane

    I haven't done the calculations but there is tremendously more force at the mounting point than the weight of what you're lifting.

    Deuce Tailgate Crane

    Don't mount it on the tailgate. The tailgate or tailgate chains aren't strong enough for this. If you're going to mount one you need to mount it to the bed and add reinforcement under the bed to tie the crane to the cross-members.

    What is this?

    You got a great deal on that truck but it has several major items missing to return it back to a operational pipeline truck. Good luck on finding the parts. Short of the major dealers that will charge you through the nose, I wouldn't know where to start. If you're not worried about being...

    Rust removal inside doors

    You could try electrolysis Rust removal by electrolysis . It should work and may not even harm the painted surfaces if you can find a tub big enough to hold the door.
