Cranetruck brought up a good point, and I would think that the repair would depend on several factors, like any repair you need to have a good base to work with so if you just have a tear and the suranding materal is sound I would think with the proper clean up and prep. and a good match of...
I just used 1/4 threaded rod dropped down through a piece of black iron tubing( not sure of wall thickness just something I picked up at Home Depot) and washers, ran nuts down to tighten the brackets then put mirror on with internal star washers and nuts.
I think the star washers are a little...

G744 thanks for explaining to me the type wheel that was being talked about.
I wondering as I was writting that post if I was on the wrong page with my thinking.
I was thinking of the old split ring tube type tire and wheel ,not a tubeless tire wheel with a lock ring. Thanks for setting me straight.
I don't think you can put a tubeless tire on a lock ring wheel, the bead would be completely different and would not seal on a lock ring wheel. Even with a tube I wouldn't think the tire would seat correctly on the wheel because the beads are different.
Alot depends on the where and when. Would need more details like is this at a GL sale site or a privet sale location, would there be someone to load, does truck run, would you need a detatch lowboy or ramps, or is a dock available to load and unload,what kind of time frame are you working...
Your trucker must have a single axle tractor if thats all he can scale. With a 5 axle tractor and trailer you could gross 80,000 lbs. and if he can't load and scale 40,000 lbs. you don't have a truck that you can make a living with.
Sounds like he's trying to get more money or he was never...

That unit built rear door in the cargo bed has got to go but at least looks like the bows are there so you have them to but a nice new...
You need to be a little more decriptive on where the bolt is missing but unless the bolt would have a speicl shoulder as a line up any hardware store should be able to match you up.
Just check a bolt next to or in a simeral use for the code that is stamped on the head so you will get the same...
G.M.A. covers is a good place to get a brand new cover that are made to currant spec. and they do fit and look great, the price is very good considering you are getting new.
Not sure what Saturn or Memphis would get for N.O.S. if they have it, you will see sets listed on GL from time to time but...

I went to the WAC/B&G web site and if I 'm reading there map right it looks to me that all sites are sold out so but I'll ask my questions anyway.
If I buy the space and bring my deuce can I camp out on that space and is cooking out on site aloud. Could not tell from there web site if this is...
Anyone Need Deuce/5Ton Bow Corners?
Thanks for sharing this bargain, I will be sending your buddy an e-mail and try to get about 20 from him. I need all 10 for one set but at this price a spare set can't kill you.
Just got a quote from a local State Farm agent, $35.00 for 6 months as long as reg. antique,
does not need to be garaged.
This is no coverage on the deuce just the minimum state required liability, at this rate I should be able to add a little more coverage, will have to check out but for now I...
