Ditto!!

This coming Saturday (12th) Clinto and his long-suffering GF (the lovely Dawn) will be at my place to pick up her deuce and some other stuff. If anyone close to the LZ wants to show up and hang out (while Clinto does all the work on the deuce) you will be welcome. I want to set up the inflatable...

I used to spend a lot of time at Camp Shelby, MS. The Mississippi National Guard had a rebuild facility there and supplied the rebuilds to other guard units and their own units. I toured the facility several times and they did a very comprehensive rebuild.....dissassembled the trucks...

Not hard to do at all...flip one on top of the other.....have some wooden stakes to put in the pockets to keep the top one from sliding around. This all depends on how good a fork lift driver they have at the GL lot and if he will do the flipping for you. Some of them are afraid of damage...

Free is good...that being said she is one Sad Sack looking truck. Maybe you can bring her back to life.

My bobber will have a factory flatbed with gooseneck hitch on it. My thoughts were that with the heavier springs you could pull a gooseneck trailer with a heavy load if you needed to. Since my bobber will be for shows and light work I'll prob just go with the front springs off a donor deuce...

I haven't gotten that far into it yet.....I was trying to determine if anyone else had tried it...if so maybe I won't reinvent the wheel.

Yep...that is why I thought about cutting the frame and axle out as a whole unit and installing it under the deuce frame. Just from looking at them side by side it looks like it would be level doing it that way. I have not measured it side to side. I could always add a spacer block to raise the...

Since I have two ammo trailers parked in my Motor Pool I have been eyeing them with bad intents. I have a deuce I want to bob but no donor front springs or M105 springs. Has anyone considered using the heavy duty suspension from the ammo trailer for a bobber mod? They also have shocks which...

Armadillo, Kero is just diesel with some of the oil removed to make it smoke less in lanterns and stoves. Mix some UMO in it and go for it. I ran some JP-8 (jet fuel) in my deuce after adding some waste veggie oil and it ran great.

What you can't see in the bomb pic is "DO NOT DROP" stinciled on the bomb itself. I was in an ordnance unit and all the bombs had it on them.:cookoo: I always wondered how they were delivered to the intended target. Big slingshot maybe???

If you can't pick up a chick at Home Depot in a deuce you need to rethink your dating strategy.

Before you use that old diesel...FILTER, FILTER, FILTER. It may have algee and water in it. Mix it with new diesel and add a couple gallons of regular gasoline in it for pep. If you have some clean used motor oil put some of that in for heat.

I had them on my bobber but it had a flatbed on it. With a regular PU body you either have to cut holes in the bed or go outside the bed (which looks goofy to me).

Heating the bearing will cause it to expand and it may pop off. Apply the heat to the bearing and try not to get the spindle any warmer than necessary. One old trick my welding teacher showed me was to get it hot and put a candle on it and let the wax melt all over the offending stuck part...

Non-winch deuce weighs in at about 12,000. That 120X $7.50 (scrap price where I am now) equals $900.00 bucks per truck scrap value......less weight of tires and rims. If you sell the axles for scrap value you are losing a lot of money.

A set of axles will sell to the rock crawlers for at least $1200.00. I bought two out of a junkyard a few years ago for 400 each but the seller was very motivated. I parted both of them out because the engines were bad. I would lowball them at 900 each and see if they bite. If they will...

Awesome like a possum!!!![thumbzup][thumbzup]

Good recovery. Needs camo paint.

The above advise is good...the last thing you want is a blowout on the steering axle......which side blows determines which ditch you run off the road into.
