Dog -- there have been enough rumors about this, that I thought it easiest to ask, and my hunch was right, that the SS crew would be able to point to the sources of some of this. Just what I needed to start things up. Now the question is, was an Executive order? and order from the...

Ok so parked it on the drive last night and shut her off, then went to crank it back up and no deal, batteries are dead. So there goes a Sunday project. this morning i got up and noticed a puddle under the passenger front side of the axel. The back side of the tire has gear lube splattered on...

Ranch -- sorry again for not trying to make a post from the GL lot and catch your message to me. I wish I would have caught it to help a fellow SSer. Aside fromt that, got to the GL and checked in, Seth was a help as always. Got out to the truck and started looking her over. Tires were good...

The bill goes into effect immediately. So I will contact the Sec. of State tommorow and see how soon they think it will be available. And btw, I asked to be put on the list for #1 for the under 26,000 for my bobber project . . . Now that the bill is signed I forgot to mention, these plates...

Guys -- thanks for all the good input. As for not bobbing it, I think I will call it a Duece "coupe" I got it to have fun with. We can have the debate about bobbing or not over beers.

I hate typing from my IPad. I plan on keeping the bumperetts and wanting to have the tailgate fold down like it does from the factory. the drive shaft if no biggie as I figured on having to get it lengthened. And yes I plan on using the stock bed cut down. i think it make s a better...

I tried searching, but me and that thing don't seem to get along or speak the same langauge. So when bobbing a duece, how much frame do most guys take off the back end? Looking at shortening the box, if I cut out 36" of the box, I move the front bulkhead to where the second stake pocket is...

Since my duece is gonna get bobbed next month i plan on calling it lil duece coupe

More good news, I have to confirm, but I am told the state changed their regs on Antique Vehicle plates and took off the 8000 LB weight restriction. If true, this means all the older dueces will be running for dirt cheap. and any of the new stuff like an A3 or 923 will get between a $400 and...

a little more on the committee and stuff. The committee has four dems onit that are considered targets. Meaning they will be targeted by the republicans this fall. As is the norm, anything that looks or smells like a fee increase they all vote no on. The Chairman hates new plate bills...
