Nice MG Rob! I think my new zombie plan is to make it to Kansas.

 

[robr]

here are some new pics of my toy after I started cleaning it up

Ok they got my new front spring made and installed it should be a softer ride.
they got my back springs made it should be a softer ride and with the overloads if I need to hall something heavy still I can

 

[Dblosch]

Hmmmm... A bed mounted MG aaaaaand a softer ride? Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?! You drive, I'll pick off the zombies.

My deuce knows what it wants to be when it grows up...

lol you will never here me say something cant be done
I have heard you cant make a Deuce quiet you cant do this you cant do that or my favorite buy a different truck if you want to do that

well as long as it is safe and you have the time and money you can do almost anything to a Deuce

no you need to put a smaller steering wheel on it so it doesn't smack your belly if, god forbid, you hit anyone.

 

[robr]

it has a 18" Custom Steering wheel
I have 2 different ones
and I wear my seatbelt

they got my back springs made it should be a softer ride and with the overloads if I need to hall something heavy still I can

Well I got the truck back today they had to add one more long spring to the back
I have to say the truck rides great a much softer ride and with the overloads it still retains it load capability

Just read through all 32 pages of this thread. I couldn't stop, once I got started.

I must say, Robr, you are the Da Man !!!!

 

[robr]

Here are the pictures of the new rear springs on the truck.
The setup is roughly the same as a 80s F600 so I can still hall heavy loads.
I took it for a 100 mile trip today I cant believe the difference the springs made its like driving a 3/4 ton pickup.

I got the new steering wheel painted last night machined a small Am General logo for the horn button and installed today
it looks much better than the first one I used

This truck just keeps getting better with each new post!

 

[jbingvtx]

I would put your truck up against the one that extreme 4x4 is doing. There is no way they can match the detail that has gone into this build.

I hope you guys are not getting sick of me posting about my truck mods

Keep doing what you are doing, and do not let anyone dissuade you from it, you are doing a great job, and the truck is turning out definitely improved.

Thanks.

I can't get enough of this thread!
I'm a newbie here and this is, without a doubt, my dream bobber.

If I lived closer, I'd be begging for a ride.

OUTSTANDING workmanship!
Adding all those creature comforts is brilliant.

Keep the updates coming.
