    Practical uses for a Deuce

    I think for the average guy, they might haul some bits and pieces of construction work occasionally, but nothing you could pay the rent with. I'v got a farm and growing hay, likely youd suspect I'd be hauling hay with the Deuce, but its too too friggin high for that, one load and you'd be...

    HEMTT adapter plates & cost

    Now this is what I'm talking about guys/gals, this responce you give now is going to be a barometer for ATD, for all we know........it may not be do-able even at the upper range. the costs of materials could be more than the price of a finished unt will bear. Lets hope not, and again .......be...

    Chinese IP Head

    Sounds sort of like a part made by New Star mabe? My experiance with Chineese is that they do great copies, often-times just a scoush less finnished looking ie. crude looking. Their alloys are ALWAYS inferior to ours. I would warn you, advise you rather, that so often because of the softer...

You sort of blindsided us with that one.........why?, it looks like a lot of work to do to 40 year old wheels ?...... to come out with what exactly ?? Is it a bead-lock your after ?? LIKe M543A2 says.... mabe a...

    Engine Swap

    I suggest you do a search here on the forum, there are about 4-5 in-depth threads in here about just such an idea.
