The best power bleeder in the world can only do so much if the bleeder isn't at the top of the chamber. That would depend on the caliper and how it's made. If the bleeder valve is at the top of the cylinder enabling the complete evacuation of the air from the the system at 12 o'clock, I don't...

You typically want to mount your calipers so that the bleeder valve is at the highest point in relation to the inside of the cylinder. When you're purging the air from your brakes, the bubbles will rise to the top of the inside of the caliper. You want the bleeder valve positioned so that the...

Welcome home and thankyou for your service! Good luck on your recovery and keep us posted on how it goes. [thumbzup]

Isn't it amazing how you can always find little silly things to fix that just make the whole truck just a little nicer? I've been dealing with all those little adjustments for going-on 12 weeks now. Sooner or later I'll actually get around to bobbing mine and slinging some paint at it. [thumbzup]

Hey SMOKE, I'm betting that book's got some good pics and info to help you build a better replica! I'm actually lookin forward to comin up there and helping you out with that project. You know it's gonna be awsome when ya got a master fabricator sparkin on it! 8-) :grd:

2600 RPMs @ 40 MPH? Did we forget to stomp the clutch, pull the TC into high range, and run through 4th and 5th gear again? I'm not trying to be a wise-guy here, but something doesn't sound right. :popcorn:

:ditto: Does that deal come with a kiss? Dinner and a movie? Some kinda lube? Take a look at 4-Wheel parts and see how much they want. Last I saw of U-bolts, they were usually around $27 to $37 a pair not too long ago and I can't see the price going up that much. http://www.4wheelparts.com/...

The 5-ton trucks are undeniably cool, but unless you have a class B license, you might have a problem. I aquired a deuce almost 3 months ago and I love it! Being that I live in The People's Republik of Kommiefornia, I would need a class B to avoid being written for driving out of class, so I'm...

Just take a good size piece of cardboard and apply a curve to it so you can shield your rim from your tire, and shoot the side of the tire with some PAM or other similar veg oil-based cooking spray. Then wipe your rim with a rag and a little acetone (just in case) and paint the rim. With the...

In my own defense, the "stripey seat cover" is an old towel that the previous owner wrapped around the bare foam as the upholstery canvas rotted away from sitting in the elements with no top on the truck for god-only-knows how long. I never even saw the passenger seat untill I got the trailer...

My stock bed is in decent shape. Not too beat-up and no cancer, just a little surface rust. Needs a couple of the rope hooks replaced, but if it were sandblasted, it'd look great with fresh paint. Lemme know if ya need it. :driver:

Silly question: What are you burnin for fuel? :popcorn:

Well jeez DA, was that an offer? Between the forklift and the plasma cutter, I could knock it outta the park in fairly short order. (not going for pretty yet) That just might make it a little too easy! I've done the research on the procedure, and I've crawled over my truck with a tape measure...

If ya decide ya wanna bring along someone to talk to for that scouting run, lemme know. I live right across the street from where ya saw us on Friday. :driver:

I know wacha mean! There was something in the air that set my allergies off! My eyes were burnin and waterin to beat the band! I'd like to see that bobber! I plan to bob mine as soon as the opportunity presents it's self. And by opportunity I mean someone with the room, the tools, the...

Oh yeah! Looks awsome! I can't wait to see the sides and seats done! It's gonna look groovy! [thumbzup]

Did we come up short a couple pieces?

Yes Sir! And I must say that is a mighty nice lookin 813 ya got there! [thumbzup]

Hey ryan77, I'm betting the dashboard shot was taken with an iPhone. How did I know you ask? I get the edge of my finger when I take pics of my deuce interior with my iPhone too! LMAO!

For a drive like that, I'd say those dogs should be Hoffy Bacon-Wrapped Hotdogs! These beauties are bun-length and sport a Yummy-Factor of 12+!
