    Stock deuce rims with 15.5's yes or no?

    I was going to also make 10" rims. First rim I made was 12" but I think it is a touch wide. But the tires are calling me, PUT ME ON".

    Stock deuce rims with 15.5's yes or no?

    Ok I heve read posts where the stock rims are used with wider tires. Some say yes and some say no. I know the 15.5's and 395's list a 10" or 11" rim to mount. Who is running the tires on stock rims and how are they working? Is there any sidewall issues when running the narrower rim?

    46" XL's on a deuce

    RE: Re: RE: Re: How they/you do dat? I have 2 new 395's and 6 used 15.5's. 15.5 are close to full trad, guessing around 95% without measuring. I was thinking of using the new tires up front and used in the rear on the Duece. Just making sure they are close to the same size. Front axel will...

    715 progress

    Winch lools like the stock LU4. If the bumper did not slope back on the outter edges it might look ok with the top plate on it.

    395/80 20 which rim

    Going with super singles on the deuce. What width rims. I know the 395’s came on a 10” wide rim but what would be wrong with putting them on the stock width rim. Other than a little sidewall bulge what would be wrong with using the stock rims.

    Ferret price

    Anybody know what the average price is for a Ferret. I know I have to state, the vehicle and not the animal. It is complete but in need of restoration. It was said to have been running when parked about 10 years ago.

    Interesting brake problem/ resolution.

    My brake peddle got real hard to push too but there was no air escaping. The brakes just started locking up. Was able to drive the last couple of miles home but they got really hot, 700+. The truck sat for a few days and the brakes started working ok again. They almost seamed better than...

    Hard to start.

    Had been diesel with maybe 10% gas until my supply ran out. went 50/50 because gas is about 35-45 per gallon cheeper. Air temp yesterday was around 85 so I dont think temp is the cause. Will cut back on the gas and see.

    Hard to start.

    67 M35A2. When I got the truck it would start right up. I have put around 3000+ miles on it. It would turn over 4 or 5 times and go. Now you have to crank for 10-15 seconds or more before it will fire. Changed the filters, bled air. Top bleeder will pump fuel 3-4' in the air. Fuel is mixed...

    Whats the secret for split rims?

    I've had better luck with the duckbill hammer than the slide hammer. Soap and hammer away moving a couple of inches each time as you go. I have used grinders and sawsall as the last resort. Even used a cutting torch before, lots and lots of black smoke. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER STAND OVER...

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    RE: should I change my plugs and wires and distributor If every thing else is 24V I would leave it and convert back. I converted my M725 to 12V but I also swaped in a 350. Wish now I would have left it 24V. Only a few more $$ to get a 24V alt and starter. I had a wire issue last weekend...
