    flipping the center-sections in riveted wheels

    When I did mine I used a torch on the first one then I tried a 3/8 drill bit on the rivets from the outside drilled in around 3/8 of an inch then used a punch, it worked great the rivets came right out saved myself a lot of gas and with a sharp bit it was faster.

    widened wheelwells on bed

    I widened the wheelwells on my 105 bed on my deuce this weekend. I had a beat up 105 that I cut 3 1/2" strip out of the wells and welded to the wells on the truck. It now covers the duals and makes it a cleaner way to mount the mud flaps(next project) what do you think paint not dry yet.

    What are these holes for

    are they about 14" apart square? they line up with the spring seat so you can run 2 spring seats instead of the fold down bench.
