    Thanks G for the info. Funny, I know I replied to this thread a couple days ago.....................

    Tom is correct. Overson will sell a double splined axle and one hub, install on the front rear, drivers side. I am still looking for some Milemarker hubs at a decent price, called the factory they have 72 sets in stock # 11167-01. I just think the Milemarkers look like they belong on the truck...

    Mraps on the front

    Yes sir, from the high side. A little play in the wheel as well but this is a 1940's steering design.

    Mraps on the front

    My brakes were covered in grease and oil as well last year when I replaced them. The insides of the wheel cylinders were full of rust pudding so I replaced all the wheel cylinders, shoes, seals and rubber hoses front and rear as well. Added a remote reservoir while at it. The most difficult part...

    Mraps on the front

    Finished the caster modification this morning, took about 3.5 hours and I believe I have a different truck!.Immediate results are 1. 80% better driveability, the swaying is down to a minimum but still does it on a country crowned road. I can steer with one hand, could not do that yesterday. 2...

    Excellent. As usual, you are a great help to the folks on here. By the way, your wheel adapters are working perfectly, good job engineering them.Did you have to do the caster mod to stop the swaying, I will start on that this morning. Good day sir.

    I did mean caster Tom. What is the commonly used procedure for measuring toe in on a deuce?

    Thanks, was a bit of work but worth it.

    Hard to steer is the wrong term, the truck wanders all over the road. The caster fix and correct tire pressure will take care of it.

    I will tackle the spring perches this week, as I can barely steer the truck right now. Thanks Angus, I will try them at 85lbs and see what happens

    Mraps on the front

    I kept the wheels and tires intact. Truck rides smoother but wanders all over the road, like I knew it would until the camber fix this week. Need to adjust my brakes which are new as well then it will be a pleasure to drive. Acceleration if you call it that feels a little better to me. Anyone...

    Got them all installed yesterday. A big difference in ride quality, much smoother. I will have to change the caster as it takes a little getting used to at speed.Overall very pleased with the MRAPs .

    That's where I got the idea, from mdmorgan's wife's truck, it looks great. After seeing her truck I had to get me some.

    I understand from here that 1 on the center rear is all that is needed,but 2 would work as well.You can buy single hubs I am told.

    Mraps on the front

    Two for the front and one for the center rear axle I understand to stop the skipping and hopping when turning

    Never thought of a Deuce looking sexy but if you say so. Thanks . I still have to flip the hubs on the rear so it might be a day or two before I drive it.Still have to change all the gear oil as well.

    Thanks guy's. I think it will be worth it.

    Mraps on the front

    Well It's tough by yourself, these are right stout(I did get the neighbor lady to help) but the fronts are on and man what a difference it makes. Makes the stock Deuce tires look silly. Now to flip 4 rear hubs and continue. I used 6 adapters from Peashooter and the machining and fit were...
