I think you would be easier off to get a bobbed truck not much bigger than a four door pick up truck. You get around a lot of restrictive laws by loosing the third axle and not running commercial plates because now it can be plated as the same weight class as a one ton truck. Im in the same boat...

I bobbed it because I have a five ton I do parades with so I really didnt need a full sized deuce and now with its multi fuel capabilities I can run it around town on waste oil virtually for free. The truck being bobbed allows for much more versitility I have a cargo cover and bows for the...

Finishing up the back end one more filler panel to weld up and were off to finish the paint. Made a rear bumper from the two pieces of frame rail I cut off welded all the holes shut and heres the almost finished product. Made a set of rear fenders from the back of the passenger seat I took out...

Where are you located near chicago I am 30 miles west and have a MEP 003 here I got running I may be able to help out.

The 813 will stay original for parades.

I plan on cutting the bolts near flush and useing heater hose to enclose them after painting them I have several ground wires in various locations just a way of eliminating ground problems before they start. Thoes 1/2 inch carraige bolts are way more than is ever going to be needed three on each...

Got to put the filler panel in the other side and bolt the fender in than its done.

Today was fabrication day for the bobbed deuce I mounted the bed permanently today useing seven inch carraige bolts through the aluminum bed to the angle iron tabs bolted to the frame. Next the question how to make the fender wells look "right" on the truck bed to balance with the front so I...

Sounds like coked up injectors to me the extra ash in WMO builds up on the injectors over time.

Anyone going to poofs this spring from minnesota could bring it down with them I can bring it down to the chicago area Joe has been here several times so he can pick it up from my place.

I got my springs and bushings off ebay very reasonable and easy to install new parts so its practical to get rid of the worn parts and replace them.

Probably king pin bushings and springs I have replaced every one in the 1008s I have owned and it makes a world of difference. All the springs I have taken out when doing king pins were fatigued enough to be 3/4 inch shorter than the new ones. Very easy fix dont be scared to dive right in I was...

Nice truck Todd if you have any issues with it PM me I have worked on enough of these to fix them in my sleep.

That overspray really looks bad it will be taken care of after the rest of the truck is done. I may redo the rear wheel wells and make them similar to the fronts may add some fender extensions to give the fenders a balanced look with the fronts. I took the bed off today to install the original...

Its real nice to have all the D rings in the bed I chained it up and set it myself with the tractor.

Well I had enough time after work to set the new bed on the bobber I have a few things to work out yet to make it right. Im going to have to loose the pintle hitch to make room for the step bumper Im going to add a reese style hitch to the frame rails instead. I have to raise up the bed a bit...

Yes the holes are there I should have closed them up before painting it I know better but old timers strikes again carraige bolts work perfect for closing them up.

Its getting done a little at a time I worked on it all day until 745 last night I was one sore old guy this is getting more like work every day. It will be finished for poofstock and haspin this year I have the cargo cover and bows for a shelter to camp in too.

Got the 395s mounted on the PLS wheels and on the truck now to get the sandblaster and clean the CARC off the rear tire. The hub flip was a pain but its done now to finish cutting the bed off the 1102 I will have the tongue and surge brake set up plus two stabilizers from the trailer left over...
