This is a NICE cover I got from 91W350. I just wanted to show the world how good it looks on my truck. Can you say portable hunting blind??? Thanks Glen!
My truck seems to smoke a LOT. It is a NON-TURBO multifuel. It does not smoke at all when cruising under no-load, but as soon as I hit a hill I can literally lay out a rope of smoke. Coming back from a car show recently, my friends in a Model A had to ask me to let them in front, as the smoke...
We drove the truck about 35 miles to a car show last Sunday and my son shot this video. The 14.00's make the speedo off almost exactly 10 mph according to my gps. I had just flipped the rear hubs on Saturday, so it was a good test run to see if having the rear wheels track the front helped the...
I am sure that someone on here had done this mod, but I can't find it back... I'm interested in running my deuce exhaust either out the rear of the truck or out the side. If you have done this, please let me know what size you used and throw up some pics for me. It would be greatly...
I'd like to say that I am finished with my deuce bob project, but we all know you are never really done. The paint is Pittsburgh semi-gloss exterior latex applied with an airless sprayer. Yeah, it has some sags and runs, but I am impatient and painted it when it was 102 degrees outside.
I...
Well, the deuce is ready for paint. I'm going to go the latex route with an airless sprayer as it seems to work very well for many of you. Here is my question. I was told by a former military person that when the military painted a truck, they used some sort of water soluable jelly (I'm...
I read the TM and fully understand the 1/8" toe in recommended for the 9.00's. Using simple math, we should be at more like .150 toe in with 14.00's (1/8 is to 39 as .150 is to 47). I checked mine today using a staple in the tread at 23" from the ground on the front of each tire, got 66-7/16"...
I have the 14.00's mounted on my truck now, but I'm running the rear wheels dish in with the M-105 bed. I've read several posts saying there may be interference with the bed if you flip the rear hubs. I do have a 3" spacer between the frame and the bed. Will I be ok? Can anyone tell me the...
Hey all. I need a little help. Yep, I've searched. Yep, I read the manual. I need experience talking to me from someone who has had this issue. Please read all my info-it does not seem to match up well with any other posted problem, although I may have contributed to the problem!
1. I have air...
I have narrowed it down to Michelin 395's or Goodyear 14.00-20's. I'd like to hear from those who have each and why / how you like them. Specific questions I have are:
Does the diameter difference matter much- as in will I lose the taking off in 2nd gear ability we have with 9.00's, (and if...
My deuce just started this. I had some lines loose / off while bobbing it, and now the horn squeals until the air pressure gets to 30 psi or more. Very annoying! I disconnected the solenoid and tried to see if it was stuck, but my understanding is that the solenoid is always powered and...
I would like to know what part number / source you all have been using for the rear brake hose for your bobbers? Any pics on how you did it will be appreciated also. Thanks!
So I forgot to measure this also before I stripped the rear axles out of the deuce. Can someone please tell me the pinion flange angle on the first (forward) rear axle of your stock deuce while setting on level ground. I'm assuming zero degrees or vertical, but I want to get it right the first...
I'm installing an air ride on the rear of my truck as I bob it (see thread "getting closer to bob") and I failed to get one measurement before I dismantled my deuce.
What is the stock distance from the bottom of the deuce frame to the top of the axle housing directly below the frame?
I want...
Deuce bobbed and air ride install in pictures
Had a productive day yesterday. Removed all the mudflaps off of the deuce bed so when it is removed it can be set on the ground. Removed the gun holder on the drivers side for more foot room. Pulled the M105 down to my other shop where the torch...
Being an insurance agent may have paid off in terms of bobbing my deuce. Last summer a client of mine hit a tree at low speed with the front of his peterbuilt, and the insurance company totalled it. My insured bought it back. I remembered this and called him this week to ask if the air ride...
I sneaked home early from work today to change the primary fuel filter on my deuce. I had replaced both secondaries Sunday, and then proceeded to run my batteries down trying to start it.
I pulled the primary canister off, and was greeted by the brass "cone" setting on top of the filter like a...
I pulled my trailer in home just before dark today. Very nice, clean, and dent and rust free trailer. My Tahoe pulled it like it wasnt even there, except for when I hit a bump and the tailgate would flop- that would make a horrible noise. Couldn't close the tailgate cause the racks were in back...
OK. No boiling oil, synthetic or otherwise for me this time...I searched and found nothing. Someone will probably point out 15 threads now on this topic....
I am considering removing the plating between the front and rear door posts just inside the door. It seems that removing this would...
