Hey guys, I know this is an old thread but was hoping to get some hits from it. I have just recently purchased another large bobbed A2 and wanted to turn this one into a full project truck. I plan on doing a crew cab build and droping in the cummins engine etc etc... My hopes are if someone...

Nice hitch!! I picked my deuce up about 6 months ago and have actually seen yours several times and looked at a lot of you build picks. Its almost like being star struck with you chiming in on the thread since Ive looked at your trucks build so much Lol... Did you get you engine conversion...

Yep I went with 5/8ths grade 8 flange bolts. The first set of bolts (closest to the rear of the truck) are 1.50 inches long and the rear two sets are 1.25 inches long. Reason being the first set I had to run through two channel flanges.

The truck frame really is not to hard to drill, what I done was got my receiver frame built and clamped it in place with C-clamps. I then took a sharpie and marked through the hole in the receiver frame where I wanted to drill, then I took a center punch and punched the center of my marks. I...

Yes it is a receiver frame. It's good to know you have pulled 6500k up steep grades makes me feel a little better about the load im fixing to start pulling.

Well since I built it and only paid scrap price it was only 14.71 lol...I paid more for the grade 8 bolts and nuts.

I built the hitch at work and designed it to be fully bolt on. I drilled the frame in 6 places (3 on each side) and used 5/8 - 11 grade 8 flange bolts. I did an FEA at work with solidworks software and it will handle anything the deuce will ever be able to pull and then some.

Just wanted to post the new hitch install on the deuce. I built the hitch to handle anything the deuce can pull but im really hoping the deuce won't struggle to much pulling 5000k pounds. Im sure it will slow down on the road but I hope it won't slow to a crawl on the interstate. I guess ill...

So not trying to hi Jack the post but I've been reading this post and I have a bobbed deuce with 14.00 20r on it and I plan on pulling my drag car with it up around April once the car is finished. Right now my truck will cruise at 60 and once I hit a pretty good grade slow to 50 or so. Now my...

No, I bought it off Amazon for 49.99. Really good price.

This winter has been harsh. My truck starts fine in the lower 30's upper 20's but this single digit business is really pushing my truck to start on it's own, it will start just hard on it. This block heater truly has made a difference and for only 50 bucks not a bad investment.

I picked my deuce up for 8,000. Mine was a private party seller truck was already professionally bobbed by Carolina truggies and had Goodyear 14.00 20r on it that are practically new it came with bows and tarp and trailer too. To date I've probably got around 9k in it after the mods I have...

Ok so before I decided to install a block heater on my deuce I searched the forums and found info on them but no install photos or where to hook up at. There are several types of heaters but I decided on a 1500w Kats recirculation heater. After my install I plugged it up and worked like a charm...

This almost sounds like what I was experiencing when a bought my deuce. I didn't think mine worked at all, then one day I turned and turned my air knob until it actually felt like it was going to unscrew and fall off. I Probably have to do between 10 to 15 full revolutions before mine comes...

Installed new seats in my deuce, installed jatonka spin on oil filters and changed the oil all in a weekend.

Thank you all for the great feedback!

My seats put me 2 inches closer to the wheel. Now one the you can do is switch steering wheels, put one in from an A3 truck or 813. You can get one off EBay for around 150. The difference is our A2 trucks run a 20" steering wheel and the A3 runs a 18" wheel which makes a big difference, I'm...

Whhheewww, finally got the new seats in the deuce!! Seats are from a 02 dodge Durango rear seat these fit in nicely. I had to fab up some custom seat risers for the correct height and angle of seats. Next on the list is dynamat and carper the inside for a quite ride lol.. If anyone else is...

So I done the reading that m16ty attached and the conclusion I gathered is multi fuel engines will more than likely have a short life. Now my question from reading that is was there any improvements? I have a 1987 Hercules multi fuel engine LDT 465 which I would hope they made some...

Hey guys I am curious at what the realistic mileage is for a deuce before complete engine rebuild or tranny? It seems every deuce I see for sale has somewhere in the 30XXX range for miles (mine included) and the highest I've seen was around 47000. So with proper maintenance is it possible to...
