    Convert M49A2C to M35 troop/cargo?

    Where are you located at? I have a nice Deuce cargo box complete with troop seats/side racks and bows laying in my yard if your looking for one ;-) I also have the canvas cargo cover I got with it, but I never had it on, so I don't know the condition if it. I doubt I'll ever do anything with it.

    Bobbing "Loud & Proud"

    Here's some pictures of the finished widened rear fenders. I'm happy with the way they turned out and look, plus it gives the duals a little more coverage so they no longer stick way out. I primed and then just spray-bombed them to some what match the box for now, some time in the...

    Aberdeen parts lists

    "jcappeljr" I sent ya a PM. Anyone else with a suspension seat to make this a pair? If any one needs any rear axle torque-rods (dog bones) for a Deuce, let me know. I have six in real good condition that I can send down with Pierre. If there is a need for them, let me know by tonight so I...

    Aberdeen parts lists

    "NEEDED / WANTED" I'm looking for a pair of complete, Deuce suspension seats. My neighbor Pierre Jalving is going down to Aberdeen to sell a huge load of parts/tires, and said if I could get a pair of suspension seats there, then he would bring them back for me. So does any one have a...

    Bobbing "Loud & Proud"

    I'm going to keep running the dual tires in the back of the Deuce. But I think it kind of looks funky with the M-105 box because of the width that the tires stick out past the fenders because the trailer box is narrower than the stock cargo box. To help compensate for this I'm making some...

    1400R20 on 900R20 Wheels?

    I've heard this before, but what's the reasoning?

    Is there a easy way to remove the rivets?

    I just did mine. I cut the rivet heads off with a torch and then I used a grinder to make sure there wasn't any part of the head left over. Drove them out with a hammer (the largest BFH you can use works best) I didn't drill a single rivet. To remove the side plate that holds the tandem...

    How do you drain the air tanks?

    My Deuce came with a stencil reminder painted on the door. I still forget some times:oops:

    Bobbing "Loud & Proud"

    Sorry, I lost track of time and forgot to update this thread as I built it:oops: (I actually drove it today:-D) I used the springs from the trailer for the conversion. So I got from others here, that it takes a 3 to 4" block under the trailer springs to make the truck sit level. So I made a 1...

    Bobbing "Loud & Proud"

    LOL.....I didn't even see him in there. It's my wife's little Toy Poodle:razz:

    Bobbing "Loud & Proud"

    Here's some more. The beat up old Ford comes in handy at times. I made a spreader-bar to lift the trailer box evenly when I lifted with the wrecker. I'm using the trailer frame as well as the box. The welded on U-bolts that stick off the bottom, at all four corners of a M105 trailer frame...

    Chinese wheel bearings...

    I could be wrong, but I have not seen "anything" with a good quality or a long service life come out of China.

    Bobbing "Loud & Proud"

    Well I started to take the Deuce apart for the bobber. I'm not going to use the 12' cargo box, but instead I'll use a M-105 box. I like the way that both, a cut down cargo box and a M-105 looks, but I prefer the wheel well look on a shorty Duece. To remove the box I unbolted the bolts that...

    2nd 10 Ton Tractor

    Dang........them things are BIG! Good score. Is it possible to park a Deuce between them, for size comparison, so we can get the full effect (for us little deuce owners)

    Drive shaft differences, Why?

    This is a bad question, or no one knows the reason:?:

    Brake line thread and size?

    I'm with ya on the bleeding, I just didn't want to pull the axels and just leave the lines dripping and empty the system more than needed. I want to keep air entering the system to a minimum also dirt/grime. Plus with the cost of DOT5 :evil:

    Brake line thread and size?

    That's easy enough, thanks man.....

    Brake line thread and size?

    I know the steel break lines on a Deuce is 5/16" but what is the size and threads of the flexable rubber lines off the "Y" block between the rear axels? I have to remove the rear tandems tomorrow and want to disconect the lines at the "Y" block, and use a plug temporarily in their place so I...

    Steel vs. Fiberglass hardtops?

    I will always run a cargo cover on the box when I get the truck done, so I don't think a window will add much benefit. If I do install a window, it'll just be a fixed window, I have no need for it to open.

    Steel vs. Fiberglass hardtops?

    It came off a Deuce......so I'd assume it's a Deuce top.
