Got a little more done on Thursday. Not rushing, but time has allowed so I am "after it". Set the bed in place and got it positioned where I want it. Marked the axle center location on bed and frame, and marked the end of bed location so I can cut 9-1/2" forward of that to keep my...
Got a lot done yesterday afternoon. Gotta love the additional daylight! Removed the bed from the deuce and set it in place on the hay wagon frame. Looks good! It fits well too. I set the M105 bed in place on the deuce so I can figure out how much room I want to leave between the cab and the...
Got the air ride home and setting on the ground outside the shop. All in one piece and no cutting required. Got the air ride seats ready to install and seat covers are being shopped. Took the 105 bed off of the trailer, and took the wood flatbed off of the hayframe in preparation for the M35...
Got the air ride suspension home today, along with both air ride seats out of the Pete. Seats are pretty dirty but nothing a good cleaning and some camo seat covers won't cure. I measured the frame width on the Pete, and it was 34". Got home and unloaded the suspension and measured the deuce...
1/4" wall tube of that length will be difficult to bend if at all with a 3000 lb trailer, unless the trailer is rearended by something. It would be different if the trailer were smashing into the hitch, but being attached to the hitch, it has very little force to extend other than the rolling...
Deuce bobbed and air ride install in pictures
Had a productive day yesterday. Removed all the mudflaps off of the deuce bed so when it is removed it can be set on the ground. Removed the gun holder on the drivers side for more foot room. Pulled the M105 down to my other shop where the torch...
OKay, I went to look at the wrecked Pete and have spoken for the air ride seats and one axle air ride setup. The other one is available. This truck was hit in front and there is no rear damage. It is in the shop being dismantled right now. It also has a Cat 3176 if anyone needs that. Since...
Will the hand crank model work inside the deep dish dual on the rear of the deuce? All the pictures show them being used on the front wheel... I was looking at one on e-gay.
Yes, I bought it from a guy in Illinois, up near Chicago. It's been the neatest vehicle I've ever owned so far, as far as cool factor is concerned. Not sure about the practical factor yet! That will come as soon as it is bobbed on air ride.
Being an insurance agent may have paid off in terms of bobbing my deuce. Last summer a client of mine hit a tree at low speed with the front of his peterbuilt, and the insurance company totalled it. My insured bought it back. I remembered this and called him this week to ask if the air ride...
As far as what to look for in buying an A2, I would recommend buying a running, driving, already road licensed truck. This will ensure that there are no existing issues like brakes or batteries or engine issues that are unknowns, and having just a title to transfer makes getting it on the road...
I think yes and yes. May require a reducer if anything and drilling a couple of three mounting holes. Should be here tomorrow.
We pulled the deuce to start it this evening and I let it run to charge the batteries back up. I luv driving this thing!
Gonna see if I can get the air ride...
