:ditto: They pull fine behind a pickup if the tires and bearings are ok.

WM, this could open up a whole other can of worms if you are right. There are many trucks (including mine that's in my avatar) that are running around with the same markings they had when in active duty. Mine were on the truck when I got it from GL. I never thought about it but this could be...

There's another school of thought that says that water will collect in the system with DOT 5. Because it won't mix the water collects in the low spots, still causing rust issues. I honestly don't know which school of thought is right. I'm running DOT 3 in my deuce. Mainly because of the price...

Are you asking about tubeless wheels? If so you'll have to go with 22.5s. They can be found with the deuce bolt pattern.

Memphis Equipment has always been kind of high. I kind of depends on what you get from them though. Some stuff is sky high but other stuff (mainly small items) is reasonable. I have delt with them and they've always been very helpful and great to deal with.

What's wrong with the keys? If they aren't rusted I can't really understand how they could get damaged. Have they been deformed? If they are deformed I'd guess the winch has been overloaded in the past. Make sure you're running the correct shear pin when you get it all back together. I don't...

I have no idea if they are shill bidding or not. I have had several items that ended at my exact max bid. It could have very well been coincidence. I don't think they would actively shill bid but it would be very easy for them to see what somebody's max proxy bid was and make sure they pay it...

I just looked up GL on the BBB site. They have a A+. :???: Of course, I also saw in a news show (20/20, 60 minutes, or something) awhile back that the BBB was corrupt and would give you a better grade for cash.

Ok, I've started a thread trying to get all the info posted but I'm not sure I like the way it's going. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/63367-dump-conversion-info-thread.html I'm wondering if a should just give a brief commentary on each build on what was done and...

More pics.

Here's one by stretch44875. Here's the thread link http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/3104-dump-conversion-2.html Had fun getting the bed up. Attached a chain to the front of the bed, and to a tree behind the deuce, about 12 feet up. Drove the deuce foward, and up went...

While that may work for pullers or drag racers, it won't work for a driving truck. It will overheat. The block isn't really a problem anyway. I know some of the pullers are having problems with the blocks but they are more than likely heavily modded engines. The main problem with getting more...

Here's one by 100dollarman. Here's the thread link- http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/25680-m35a2-dumpbed-pics.html Here are some pics of a Deuce converted to a dump that one of my customers had done. The conversion cost him about $4800 complete. I looked it over...

Here's one by Nap159. Here's the thread link- http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/46772-dump-conversion.html?highlight=dump+conversion Here is a few pictures of a dump conversion my brother and I recently finished. The truck works great. The box dumps at a 45 degree...

I'm not really understanding what you are calling a "mounting bolt". The bolts that I call mounting bolts are nowhere near the shift lever. I don't recall the location of the keyways but they are not 180 deg from each other. I had a shaft that seemed to be twisted one time. It wasn't a whole...

Here's some pics of a dump that Jatonka did for Surfdog. I don't have any info other than the pics. Jatonka or Surfdog, if you have anything you would like to add PM me and I'll add it here. Here's the thread link-...

Ok, I'm going ahead with my project to compile all of the deuce dump conversion threads. This thread is going to be where I'll start posting all the info. It's a work in progress so it may not look like much at first but I'll be working on it.

Thanks for the offer stretch. Sounds like I need to get to work. Let me think about the best way to do it and I'll get started.[thumbzup]

For some reason this post made me think of the Geico commercial with R Lee Ermey. Disclaimer- Yes, this post is a total waste of bandwidth. I thought it was funny though. :grin:

No, on my end. Never heard anything back from the powers that be. I'd still be glad to do the legwork on this if given permission or a place to put it.
