What is a fair price for a dropside bed then?

Hey Phil, thanks for the reply. The project in question involves getting some dropside bedsides and cutting off my old bedsides. So it looks like it's just steel for hinges that I would need.

I have never seen a deuce drop side bed up close and in person. I am a proficient welder and fabricator and wondered if I could some hinges on and use existing drop side bedsides to make the conversion. I use my truck for hay hauling so the sides are nice since I bale small squares, but I would...

I've been reading, it's tough going because I cannot commit the time to sit and read it all in one sitting. I'm on Page 11 now and I think what I would need is a dual master with an extra airpack? Not that big of deal I guess. And certainly not hard to plumb and mount. But anyaways I'm still...

Thanks, that's some of the stuff I read, I'll have to try and find the thread.

Hello all, I was doing some searching on here and read a bit about some of the newer deuces having brakes a bit different than mine. I have a 71 with the air assist brakes and I want to put in a dual circuit master if possible to gain some sort of a safety measure and to keep the air system. I...

Well that makes me feel a lot better. It took me quite a while to get a new shaft to my door and I don't want to do that again. Hopefully I can get my old one in the lathe soon and get it doctored up.

So what you're saying is, if its a complete take out shaft from another truck, its going to fit or it is not. There isn't much room to **** this up.

Much appreciated thank you.

Hello all, I twisted a rear drive shaft coming off the Tcase to the first drive and sourced a replacement from a parts dealer. I put it in and it went well but there was only about a half inch in between the flanges with the shaft fully compressed. I know there is not an insane amount of travel...

Firestone T831 tires do not come in a 20 inch rim size anymore but they do come in 22.5!

I'm just not seeing any 395's I can afford. The ones on GL go for a good price but still just not something I can afford. So I am really leaning towards the 11R20 NDT and grooving as I stated. Cons, not as much top speed as the 395, not as good traction, tubes. Pros, Cheap, better than a...

Hey thanks for sharing that Denny! I was going to use a number 4 head but I'll take your word for it and use the number 3.

On the subject of cold stuff, For USMC survey I use a machine called the IPADS G, it uses satilites and laser ring gyros to acuratley determine position azimuth and elevation. Well long story short the backup battery on these use a 24V heating element and the mod just came out for us to remove...

Ok well if I have it hooked up correctly and I am still not satisfied then I guess I can still try putting the air inlet ducted to the inside of the cab.

Is that where you eat your dinner too? because that is CLEAN! Thanks guys for the pic and the PS article.

I see eastern CO so i know it gets purdy cold there. In 0*F weather and an artic grill cover this thing can keep the windshield clear and you warm?

I bet they are louder but how could you tell over all the other noises a Deuce makes.

The Deuce I am getting has a hard top and a heater, however from what I read the heater in these trucks leaves a lot to be desired and I live in MI where it gets a little nippy in the winter. my Idea was to run the fresh air inlet to the heater into the cab so instead of heating cold outside air...

OH MAN That looks good! I think I will do the center rib like that!
