OT - New Photo Display Site for Me

[hot rod deuce]

Hey guys I posted some pictures on a new photo site. I just have the truck pictures posted at random, no captions yet, but I did do a "My Other Life Section" you might find entertaining.
I hope to keep updating it with new pics of my work in progress with crew cab mod.

THOSE PIX ARE SO KEWL! That shot of you going through the mud is just AWESOME! And you've got a really nice set of Super Singles on your deuce!!!

Where did you get them and which arm/leg did you have to give for them?

The only guy I've talked to wants $400 each per wheel PLUS s&h from the west coast and THEN add the tires. That would total at least $7k just for wheels and tires. That's more than I paid for my deuce.

I am BIG GREEN with envy! Way to go HRD!!

wallew-

The setup that HRD is running calls for HEAVY modification of the stock supension, drivetrain, pretty much EVERYTHING!! Check out the saga in

Man, you took out a good perkins to put in a small chebby? Was it a 6.354? Those have about the same potential as a 12valve cummins does. Sorry, had to pick on you a little.

Man Hotrod I had you figured for an old Pharte. You're a youngun like me!

Its always interesting seeing people from this forum for the first time. Its usually never what I picture in my mind. I too figured Hotrod for an old guy. Looks like your fresh out of high school in the tux picture. Lots of really cool pics.

It appears to be the 'BROWNING' logo on the front of your 'mini hot rod tractor puller'.

Is this correct? Why did you pick that particular logo? LOOKS WAY KEWL of course, just curious.

Sweet Truck

what wheels are those ?

i have some 1600r20's that i want to put on my M35 when i chop the rear axle off and convert one of my M105 beds to fit it.

Hey That was my old man that did the perkins he took out the chevy and put the perkins in. It was in 1979 when all you could get was a 350 diesel (just a beefed up 350 olds)in a half ton. the truck only had 3K miles, from going and getting the new perkins in Texas from a surplus joint. Then the chopping began. By the time i got to it the perkins was long gone, she had seen a 400 and 502 in the mean time but for a daily driver i picked another 400 chev

yeah im not sure how that pic got in there, but anyway just outa high school is right. thats how i used to get so much stuff done. they were all "school projects" the cummins swap got me a whole score of credits in the math/Geometry department as well as welding and Ind arts. That 23 T bucked was another one that was a big time helper only went to schoold for about 3 hours a day the last two years and got all the right credits to go to colledge if i decide to

I fabbed the rims up from a total of 12. I cut the outside (as you look at a front wheels on the axle) and added it onto the same side of the next wheel. So there is realy two places for lock rings.
