    Bobbed Deuce

    bb- you are an effen genius! I also have been thinking about how to bypass the rivet work. I was thinking of torching the plates off at the bottom of the frame and just leaving the plate and rivets on there. I like your idea of making 2 frame cuts.

    U Bolt size for BoB

    The reason I used the blocks was to level out the truck. The 105 spring hangers mount to the SIDE of the frame making it about 4" lower in the back. Front Deuce hangers put the spring directly UNDER the frame. Another option is to weld a 4" spacer to the bottom of the frame and then mount the...

    U Bolt size for BoB

    I did use 105 springs- they are the same as front Deuce springs if you leave the overloads out. Heavy enough for any bob job.

    U Bolt size for BoB

    The springs are 2 1/2" wide. I used 5/8" stock, but some guys use 3/4". You need to figure out how long they will be considering if you are using any blocks, how thick your plates are, etc. A mock-up of the spring/axle combo is best so you can get an accurate measurement. Here is a pic of...

    Deucey Bobbie is DONE!!! Pics!

    Thx- I'll go check it out. Is your wheel connection a one time deal, or will there be some available? You can pm me on that one if you want- I could use some. I think the 12.5 would be a perfect fit on a stock wheel, though. I have a set of new 12.50s waiting patiently to go on a bobbed D...

    dm- thanks for the good info on hubs- BTW- NAPA has the left and right nuts in stock- they were cheap, too-$1.76 ea. This one took us a couple of weeks in between real work. I think we could do one in 3-4 days now that I have a better idea of how to do it. The hardest part for me was getting...

    Thanks! Here are some progress pics from today. Tomorrow all I have to do is mount the taillights, paint the bed, get her cleaned up inside and out, and if I can figure out how to flip the rear hubs- I may try to do that tomorrow. It doesnt look too bad with the rear wheels sticking out a...
