Instead of being referred to as a "deuce-and-a-half", a bobbed deuce should be called a "half-a-deuce"

I'm over my head here therefore this may be a silly issue but will using a Rockwell front axle assembly in a rear position effect the way the ring gear and pinion needs to be back lashed? Seems using a front in the rear will mean having to turn it in the opposite direction. Is this something...

Well this is a first for me --- being the non-purist that I am but isn't there something else to sully like perhaps an M43 rather than chopping up a very rare WWII piece of vintage iron? It's a free country and if you own it you can do what you want but WCs are rare.

We had M37s in the 505th Tactical Control Group in Vietnam. Outside of Red Horse, I'd guess that the 505th was the first Air Force unit permanently assigned in Vietnam. No doubt they are still there. I remember one time going on a scrounge mission with a couple of Marines to "appropriate" a...

The term "bobbed" has been used in the trucking industry for years. A semi tractor running without a trailer is said to be "bob" tailing. Short trucks have been called bob trucks for as long as I can remember and I can remember back to when Pike's Peak wasn't nothing but a hole in the ground.

I just checked the load rating on the 395s. Wow! ... these things are rated for 9,700 pounds @ 95 PSI. I also took some pics --- attached. Hopefully letting some air out --- even though they don't appear to be crowned will make it stop wondering around the way it does. It doesn't do it (wonder...

Thanks for the insight on this. Knowing that under inflated tires tend to bounce what do you feel the symptons are for over inflated tires. Actually, according to the side wall pressure specs I'm not over inflating them BUT I can see where since I am so light @ 10,000 lbs I probably don't need...

My wheels have been modified to make them wider. I haven't measured them but my notes say (I think from a conversation with John Tennis) that they are 11" wide inside to inside.

John Bizal @ Midwest Military Midwest Military Home Page has is a good source for parts and M37s.

This is an interesting thread. I'm running 395X85R20 Michelins @ approx 90 PSI on my bobbed deuce and though they don't ride all that bad they seem to walk around a lot. I have to stay on top of the steering all the time. We've got the tow-in set at 1/4". Given that I only weigh arount...

I did a little fishing during a conversation with Memphis Equipment the other day. If memory serves me right they are getting $7,500.00 ($9,000.00) for a "gone over" stock deuce. They go through the brakes, replace the fluids, new hoses, 80% tire life, replace/fix anything apparent. Trucks...

People pay what they want to pay. No problem.

Read the threads in insurance.

There is a way to fix the rough surface on the yoke. I think the proper name is speedy seal. It's a ring that presses over the yoke. They are easy to use. M37Dodge your black font is nex to impossible for some of us to read. I'm getting to the point where I don't even try. When I see a post...

Thanks for the insight. Looks like it's Walmart time.

This has probably been covered but I couldn't find it in the search nor in the TMs. I have a question about the expansion factor in the deuce radiator. I know if you fill it to the top it will spit out a certain amount until it's reaches the required/desired level. Does anyone know how...

I'm preparing to do some fender repair work on Rosie. Some rust is starting to showing up between where the exhaust stack comes out of the fender/s and the body side cowl. Just as the M-37 fenders always rust under the headlights, the exhaust stack area seems to be first area rust starts to...

Sorry but I can't buy into this line of reasoning. I don't see where mounting a wide tire on a narrow wheel will make the overall "rolling diameter" larger. The narrower wheel might make the edges of the face of the tire look rounded to the point that all the tire isn't touching the ground...
