Thank you 59apache those are some awesome threads. I really like the high low trailer thread that uncle Mikey used for a shelter. They do make a cargo bay cover for the Deuce. It jacks up and down. It bolts to the bed and has no floor. There is a link in an earlier post on this thread. They are...

59apache that is an awesome build. Very well done and the jacks are an inspiration. My problem is that I not yet know what question to ask. I am still gelling my ideas based on what is available. Unfortunately I think I am a bit late for the cheap deals on the trucks. Most for the price I can...

I have read all your posts and am impressed.I wondered where you went. Glad to hear you are back. Here is a thought on it. Vortex compressed air cooling. Google it. We used a lot of them in the factory I worked in. They are for point cooling on machines. They have both a hot side and a cool...

Wow the second one is what I am looking for. I have tried to find every shelter build on the site but apparently I missed Peashooters. I was at first thinking of what I think they call an Alaskan pop up. That would work for what I want nicely. I wouldn't even have to mess with the bed. Thanks I...

I suppose the definition of catastrophic depends on if you run into the back of another Deuce in convoy or a Honda. I agree PMs and rebuilds are probably the best direction. doghead I don't wish to lead you astray. I would have to study the plumbing of the brake system and then figure out...

All of you are right sort of. The road I am talking about is the main highway between Franklin and Highlands NC. Semi tractors are not allowed. There are a lot of heavy dump trucks pulling heavy machinery however. The road has a straight wall up on one side and a straight down drop on the other...

I wanted a dedicated shelter made low for a lower center of gravity. The truck is quite tall with a shelter on it. I would set it up so that if I wanted to swap it with a cargo bed I could roll it off on a loading dock and then roll the other on it. I checked on line and they will make me a box...

This was intended to get other's ideas about it. I appreciate the interest. Yes I think that perhaps the system would have insufficient fluid once activated. Even with extra fluid available you would probably have to pump the petal to get more in the system. You are right an aircraft system...

Well they work on airplanes. I suppose it is an argument on no brakes or partial brakes. I was just thinking about it as a possible solution to a single brake line problem. I blew out the lines on a VW bug at fifty five in a panic stop. I took the shoulder and hit a berm. I passed the car in...

I want to put a shelter on my M35. I am thinking if the spacer is removed and wheel wells cut into the lowered bed I can get about a foot less height. I am thinking this will help aerodynamically and help handling as well. What do you think?

I am on the verge of committing to this hobby. There are seven possible buys in my area. They run the gamut of $1000 parts heap to an unbelievably nice one. It looks like it has a brand new green camouflage paint job. The only one I am sure is for sale that I can afford is the M36. Unfortunately...

On the bobbing threads they remove the tandem axle assembly. I want to move the bed back about a foot and move the assemble back the same to maintain the aesthetics. I am thinking using a winch extension to support the bed and lengthen the frame. The purpose of t this is to make an extended cab...

Hello Gentlemen and Ladies and I hope you are. I was studying the single line braking of the M35b2. When I worked on aircraft they had a fuse for the individual brake lines going to each wheel. This was in case you lost pressure on one of the brakes in use. They are velocity sensitive. If a...
