Owen, no, this is the full disc brake setup that replaces the existing drums. It's a Ford 15" disc and F550 caliper at each corner. I would never run a pinion brake setup.
I tore down my front/rear axles, cleaned them up, and replaced the seals, boots, etc. Black Rock Fab sent me a front/rear disc brake kit, so I removed the factory drum brake setup including the backing plates. Those were some tough rivets to take out on the rear plates. I reached a snag on...
I finished the demo on both axles of my bobber in preparation for installing disc brakes that arrived last Friday. DID I MENTION THAT I HATE RIVETS! Just when I thought I was done removing rivets from bobbing my deuce and recently installing power steering, I had to take out 24 rivets on the...
John,
I ran 1600s on my bobbed deuce for a few months with the factory manual steering in place. Mind you I didn't take it off-road in any deep ruts, but interstate and city driving were no issues. My only advice is to drive "crab style" with your thumbs out! I have since gone to a power...
I had time today to fabricate an air compressor intake "fording kit". Simply connect the intake tube on the air compressor to the tube that sticks out the back of the air filter housing.
As always, many more pictures are on my website. HanksDeuce.com "click modifications".
Catch up time on my modifications.
1) I took final pictures of the power steering install.
2) I took a final picture to show how I tied the 1/4" OD poly tube vent system into the air filter housing.
3) Today I replaced the transfer case vent with a compression fitting elbow and connected it to...
Jim, take a look at post #98 on this thread for the brake line info.

I have not driven it with the power steering yet because I'm waiting to put the front/rear disc brake kit on. My boots are torn and I need to rebuild my axle...
I installed a cheap slobber (road draft) tube on my bobbed deuce over the weekend.
I removed the existing axle vents and replaced them with a vent system that purges into the air filter housing under the hood.
As always, all of my pictures are on my website. HanksDeuce.com "click...
Well, I'm 99% done with the install of the Waterloo Specialties power steering kit for my deuce. All I need to do is pick up my NAPA coolant filter kit, fill the coolant, and crank it tomorrow!
Tom Bauer made one nice power steering kit for the deuce. I had to call him a few times for...
Yes. They were selling caged wall sections that I thought about using for dog kennels. No measurements were posted, so I asked them what size each caged section was. It took a few days, but they posted measurements before the auction was over.
I pulled my deuce steering box without touching the engine mounts or injection pump.
1. Pull the pitman arm off. Autozone had a puller I borrowed.
2. Drain the steering box.
3. Remove the steering column. (may not be required for you, but mine was already out)
4. Temporarily remove the 2 brass...
Thanks for the critical feedback, doghead. If my thread is in the wrong forum, then a forum moderator/admin should move it to the appropriate forum. That person should also move the 5-10 other topics that are in the Website Help Forum into the correct forum. Both of those things will help...
I reviewed other posts in this forum like mine, and it looks like no other moderator chimed in that their post was in the wrong forum. Sometimes the mod did their job and piped up to move the thread, but other times they did not. Confusing isn't it?
