:DThank you all for your inputs and info, very helpfull PDF dave!

Awesome, good to hear yours is working out, makes me more relieved!!

I think i will stop at one tomorrow after work. Do those dumptruck driveshafts have a carrier??? Like i said before, i really dont think i NEED one but again i am a jet mechanic lol we dont have driveshafts

I had thought of that, but i would really like to stay away from it if possible. I had planned on just installing safety straps around it, incase it lets go. hopefully they wouldnt need to be used!!!! besides we are fortunate enought to have front wheel drive to get us home!!

Hello all, I am working on a bobber project , but i am doing it a little bit different than the norm. i am installing my axle a bit further back than the usual bobber which (please correct me if i am wrong) usually requires a 5-6" longer driveshaft. I need at about 12 inches further. I measure...

I love how pi$$ed off they sound on a cold start.. like waking up an old man from a nap aua

Ive seen some dumb setups, worse than this before in the civi truck world, oak 2x4 lift blocks, stacked lift blocks u name it... still this seems pretty bad, shoulda at least made it as wide as the Ubolts, Does anyone else have a "good" picture of how they mounted a rockwell to their bobbed...

Reading all the horror stories makes me happy mine went as well as it did, i payed about 2000 out the door from GL in barstow, about 60 miles from its new home. Had a full tank of diesel.. i mean varnish, but **** its a multifuel! 2 new batteries $180. Started it up and gas pedal went right to...

most trailer shops and large truck shops make u bolts, i just had a set made for a bobber project 5/8" 13" long for 11 bucks a pop... as far as rot, looks pretty good to me for 40 year old bolts!!! just keep a ck on em! 2cents

especially not in the trenton area!, he should have invested in a MV before a trailer.. hopefully when it rips off of his sheetmetal mounted trailer hitch and wrecks the rearend of his car it will be as he pulls into his driveway and not on the freeway

Anyone ever seen the movie Idiocracy?? maybe its a prophecy! :-|

I have to agree, but hey at least the term "chair force" cant be used on this guy

I would put stickers on it, maybe a wing in the back, donk it a few feet, and then a 15inch exhaust tip? maybe some chrome spaypaint for the wheels too!!!! should make it go faster..... JK welcome to the forum, and you will meet smoke when you get down here.. Pretty sure he is the only one on...

Right on man, thanks for the input, ive never heard of it being done that way, but ill look into it, (im also new to this truck) sounds like a better plan, headed back to dirty jersey next month taking some leave, i think i might actualy have a couple sets of springs at my folks house from when...

For the suspension i plan on using one of the M105 trailers chassis and springs underneath the deuce frane, to avoid going with blocks. I know the controversy some people have about that method, like cutting and blocking the xmembers on the trailer chassis to make room for the driveshaft, but i...

Ya hopefully someone wants this one!! we all know how wives love looking at stuff like that in the backyard!

Started my bob project today, "won" a few months back a '70 kaiser 27k miles 460 hours (god only know if the gauges lie) not a speck of rust and just serviced by the look sof it. Pulled the bed off with my pickups 12k winch, worked out good till it caught my emergency air valve handle and broke...

Definitely forgot about the wipers!!

Thats the other thing i was worring about, to much oil... but still not sure if that would really screw anything up!
