Looks to me like he just ground down the paint to bare metal, so he could get a good clean cut with the plasma cutter. Way less of a smoke show, and no interruped cut.
He's bobbing the truck, not lengthening it back to a long 6x6 chasis.
SS member "BlueDeuce" is having trouble with truck, and currently this site/internet, so he emailed me this question that I'm posting. Hopefully he can chime in, in a little bit.
Here is the deal. I have a popping sound coming from the front end of the truck when I turn the wheel while I'm...
Just leave the trailer box bolted to the trailer frame, and cut the tongue off. Then mount the entire box/frame assembly on the deuce frame rails (with the wood buffer between) You already have it, and it won't cost you any more money to buy more material. I think the trailer frame is four or...
Just a suggestion, Why don't you install an electric fuel pump, to said carbureted truck?
That way when you try to start it, when it has been sitting for a long period of time (dry/empty carb fuel bowl) you don't have to crank and crank the engine over, for the mechanical fuel pump to pull...
So that means that you have more than one......would you be interested in selling any? I'd be interested in one, if the price is right. Drop me a PM, if you think about it.
I did it mostly for the easability of servicing the oil filters and fuel filters. Or anything that needs work on that side of the engine bay. I no longer have to work over or around the heater, that's always in the way up on the fender.
Before and after pictures.
I had a Deuce tailgate that was pretty banged up. So much so, that shuting it was impossable. It was destined for the scrap pile. I had nothing to lose, so I tried to give it one more shot at life.
I cut out the bad section with a cut-off wheel, heated up the piece, and reformed it. Clamped...
Resurrecting an old post from the dead. I took some pictures today for a fellow SS member of my heater hose setup, that he wanted to duplicate. So I thought I might as well post them up here for others also.
I never much cared for the way that Deuces, with heaters, have the heater hoses just...
cidrick,
What's the story on your wheels? Custome made I assume.
My 16.00 XZL's are on a 10" wide wheel, but I'd like to ditch them and go to a 12" to 14" wide wheel some day.
It sure isn't a stacked trailer frame, that's for sure. :lol:
Judge for your self, I have nothing to hide. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/50778-lifting-bobbed-deuce.html
I didn't even have a tractor in mind when I bought it.
I was told about an old wrecker by a guys barn, that had been sitting for about three years. So I stopped by at the house to look at it, and inquire on it. Turned out to be '54-'55? International R-190 wrecker. I needed somthing bigger...
