    Deuce Differences in the 1970's and 80's..?

    Second important mod is a swap to power steering. (feeled) 38 turns from lock to lock is not contemporary. And in todays traffic it's also not save. Steering efforts at lower speed are to high, reaction times to slow.

    Deuce Differences in the 1970's and 80's..?

    Even with a PERFECT maintened brake system is a single circuit system unsafe. A buddy has 2! brake failures due a failing BRAND NEW brake hose....this is not the i've heard, someone told me...it is first hand experience. First time i was close to him, pulled his truck out of a hole and helped...

    Added 12v alternator, what size relay to use?

    FMHO ...200AMP continious load is way to small for the 24V system...the starter will fry it.

    Engine stand

    Engine stand

    thank you! To be honest...i have no idea. The 990lbs are easy, no drop / bend under load. I would rate it 1500. With this kind of engine mount the lever is very long....

    Engine stand

    Gentlemen, a little update. The torsional stiffness of a double T isn't the best. I know that, but i hoped the massive bracing would solve the problem. But it doesn't. With the 990 lbs from the cummins i got a noticeable sway (imagine the vertical double T as the rotatinal axis) . Just to...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    Looks good!! i like the look of the duals....and now it looks really grown-up! I can't wait to mount my 11-20 NDT's on my deuce...and i hope, due the rounder profile, i don't have your clearance issues.

    Engine stand

    I'm sorry, i don't think so. The stand manage the 450kg from the 6BT easily...i guess 600kg is noc problem. But more? And yep, that's exactly what I said...the cheap one is sold as a 1250lbs heavy duty stand and can't manage the 700lbs from a Ford Windsor. Scrap.

    Engine stand

    This was the stand i got from ebay...it was cheap. I bought it just for storage, not for work. But it can't manage the weight of a 351 Windsor....i'm pretty shure that not ONE part can handle 1250lbs.... :mrgreen:

    how many persons do you plan for? In case of emergency , 46 gallons are enough. If you use it only for drinking....in regular use it's also enough. You can fill up everythere. I see the problem in keeping more water drinkable...
