Look on the uglytruckling site, they walk you through how to do the master cylinder upgrade. It is less than 1/2 price of a stock master cylinder. I would absolutely do the disk brake upgrade. I have them on mine (along with the master cylinder) and love it. The stock brake parts are actually...
I would guess that if you took them apart and blasted/primed them you would have some pretty valuable rims. I don't know 2-300 each, maybe more to the right buyer.
Most likely, you can take the CA inspection paperwork and get it inspected in AZ without driving 500 miles to have it done. You then send it to the previous owner to do the paperwork. You will now be paying to title it twice and be at the previous owners mercy (as far as getting him to do anything).
I thought I heard of a weakness or inferior design with the early front ends? There was a reason the high HP guys preferred the later ones. Steve any truth to this?
I think the reasoning is that you will have steel on steel. If you had a bronze bushing in there, it would wear (which it will) instead of your axle shaft after a lot of miles.
Every M34 I have seen didn't have combat rims. I see he's from Oregon, didn't the Canadian deuces have combat rims?
EDIT-The Canadian ones i've found have 10 bolts not 16.
I understand that they are de-splined. I just don't see it making any difference on a stock deuces steering unless you had other problems. As I said, I can't feel any difference in steering if I unlock mine. (unless I had the T/C engaged)
