they are home made 20X10.75 i made them a hair wider so that they would flaten out the tire and let me run a little more air so that it want quite so wishey washey on the turns. No fender problems after the 3 inch body lift, if you have fender problems just grab a set of gasser fenders and do some chopping, the only reason for the 3 inch cab lift is to clear the big radiator

hot rod duece, did you have to move your rear axle back or was there enough room in between the axles for the 16.00's?

There is not enough room as is. I don't even think 1400s will fit. A few :) mods required for 1600s

Is there an easy way to spread out the axles using five ton springs or something? Or do custom springs have to be made?

yup custom springs as well as custom boggie arms, its not as bad as you might think. 5 ton parts are WAY huge and the only way that would work would be if you had the long spread 5 ton suspension and use the whole thing. thats a lot of added weight for nothing. if some one is interested in any of the custom parts on my truck just send a pm and i can hook you up. Spring,links,rims,tire, any or all.

yeah i have this sweet spot for the ISB Cummins,,, if it were a woman i would marry it.... thats what will happen with the 24 Valve if and when the dodge body is shot, just not sure how i will get around the electrical computerized crap with a tranny.. The old 12V's being mechanical in ever aspect are a great setup for the deuce.

Hey hotrod,
I can't get any pictures of your truck to open up for me. Sure would like to have a look at it.

pics at hrd6x6 page

Hot Rod,
I am able to get to your home page that shows a deuce with oversized tires that look like they are on m34 or m135 rims. Is that correct? Which tires are those?
Would love to see the pics of the 1600x20s on the Deuce but cant seem to get to that page.
Did you make any extra extended control arms and are they for sale?
Thanks
