Using an aluminum bed for the weight factor sounds good in theory, but if you don't have enough weight on the rear wheels, traction could be an issue. I pulled the bed off a 69 Chevy Pickup once to redo the wood floor and took the truck to the store to get some sodas and ice for my cooler while...

When it comes to the antenna and coax, The 5 foot firestick has always been a great antenna and usually has a good SWR match without even trimming it. They can take up to and over 500 watts transmit power and aren't too horribly expensive. As for the coax, the best bet if you're not running a...

Sounds pretty kewl to me! SUBSCRIBED! [thumbzup]

A guy on here posted a vid on youtube of the seats he put in his deuce. They were leather with heaters out of a Caddy. They looked good and I bet they're super comfy!

Great looking truck! Congrats! Is it just me or in the first pic does it look like someone danced on the roof? [thumbzup]

Judging from where your springs are, if you use an M105 trailer bed, you're gonna have some space between the cab and bed. Perfect for a spare tire and some 5-gallon jerry cans. A toolbox or two is not a bad idea either. I myself plan to leave about 15 or 18 inches for the afore mentioned...

If you're planning to put the 5-Ton springs on a deuce and a half, you may wanna consider deleting an upper (shorter) leaf or two just so you don't end up with a "feel-every-pebble" stiff back-buster ride. Just my 2cents

Note to self: Pick up a spray bottle and a bottle of Dawn dish soap. :whistle:

OK, DUH! my bad! I got M35A2 on the brain right now tryin to figger out how I'm gonna make it the 500+ miles to do the recovery for mine. (it's a long story) :driver:

[thumbzup] I agree, make it work well, then worry about making it pretty. You can accomplish a lot just starting with a pressure washer! Good luck and above all, have fun! :grd:

When you take something apart to fix it and you start to feel like you've opened a big ol' can o' worms, just chalk it up to a good fishing trip and keep in mind how nice it'll be to know those things won't be a problem for a long time to come. then smile and admire all the looks you'll get from...

Sounds to me like you wanna feather the clutch a little while gently easing the transfer case lever in the direction you want it to go. When it drops in, hit the clutch again. It's all about finesse. :driver:

Definately a strong argument in favor of going super-single! Just my 2cents worth. :grd:

For most of us, having the green fever means doing it yourself where possible but for some of us, doing that requires 3 equally imprtant parts. The skill to do it, the tools to do it, and the motivation to do it. Some guys have 1, some guys have 2 but you gotta have all 3 to make it happen. From...

I grew up in a house that was 6 houses down the street from a National Guard Armory that happened to be a mech/transport division. I spent a good deal of time as a kid hanging out there BSing with the supply seargent and in the back yard climbing all over M38s, M35A2s and the 2 different M113A1...

Considering vinyl wasn't used for tops and cargo covers untill the late 80s or early 90s, your 66 would have come with canvas cargo cover, cab top and seat covers.

Kewl, thanks!

OK, Silly question time: Did anyone think of adapting to remote spin-on filter mounts and hanging them so there would be no drain back and you could remove them without dumping oil on the ground? If so, why wouldn't it work? :?:

Interesting concept! I agree it sounds awsome and I bet shoe-horning it into a deuce would be fun, I'm a welder/fabricator and I love a challenge! :driver:

He must be having trouble finding a buyer, it's back on ebay so I grabbed a couple pics so ya'll wouldn't have to go hunt for it. This is the truck I was talking about in my previous comment.
