My guess would be...the use of the putty is the cause of the failure. Use fine emory cloth to polish the crank.

That is my whole point here. That is the safe way to assemble the wheel.

You are correct! Ok, now do the math on the "hammer effect" of the lateral movement with the tolerances listed on the 6 axle lugs.

I designed and built this same conversion over a year ago. I do not have my exact figures in front of me. I do remember, the wheels at my shop having almost a 1/4 inch of possible misalignment. Not exactly 1/4 but very close. You have to add the possible misalignment of the back plate to the...

My deuce leaves black marks on my brothers concrete driveway everytime I visit. :D

Mike, the shoulders on the original studs are not long enough to go through the plate and back side of the wheel. This allows the wheel to move up to 1/4 of an inch on the plate which is enough force to sheer the lugs and possibly loose a wheel. The studs must be replaced with a stud that has at...

What an awesome adventure! I love your write-up!

I have heard similar stories while I have been out-n-about in my truck. I have noticed, these trucks bring back so many memories for some. Luckily, all of my encounters have been very positive. I love putting a smile on peoples faces! Philip

I love the open floor plan! :-P Looks good! Keep up the good work! Philip

I had Gulfway send me a policy. It is strictly exhibit insurance. It doesn't cover anything. It is full of restrictions. Read the policy before you purchase.

I live in the Athens, Ga. area. I have modified most everything I have owned and the property of everybody around me. If you can think of it, I can build it. I am a perfectionist. I have a very long list of completed projects. Many of them are 6 figure. A couple in magazines and and TV...

The center of a deuce wheel is 1/2 inch plate.

Here is a bobber that I have been working on. It is far from finished.

I love the 11.00 bobber look. Here is a picture of one that I have been working on.

Nice truck! Very clean! Looks like you payed very good attention to details. Just curious, do you know how many hours you have in this build?

Unless you truck is different than mine, my radiator installs with two bolts, two nuts with a spring, and two hose clamps. I am with Doghead on this one. Use a flashlight. This emergency is not worth potentially damaging your engine.

Mine did the same thing last summer. I just capped off the two fuel lines. They are going to stay capped off. A fuel leak on the turbo is an accident waiting to happen.
