    Trying to modify my Deuce to tow a U-haul, inexpensively

    Yes, I have questioned this also. I dont want to fabricate up a hitch, then show up and they say that I cant use my truck, but if I show up without a hitch at all, or try to show them a sketch of what I am going to use, they will dismiss me immediately.

    Trying to modify my Deuce to tow a U-haul, inexpensively

    I am trying to tow a 94 Mustang GT from riverside California to Tacoma Wa on a U-haul Tow dolly. Just 1200 miles of I-5. I am half tempted to just take the stock Pintle hitch off, use a large chunk of angle iron, making use of the two big bolts that already exist for the stock hitch, and...

    Trying to modify my Deuce to tow a U-haul, inexpensively

    Ok, I am making preparations to tow with my truck. Im trying to do it inexpensively, but Im not sure how to determine weight ratings on a home grown job, and Im not sure what U-haul will require to prove its weight capacity. The two most important requirements: Must have 1-7/8" or 2"...

    My first heartbreak...

    I just recently had to replace the window on my 75 C20, and that also involves pulling the wing window out. (My family has always called it a wing window, is that not correct?) I can say the job is not too bad, but having a second pair of hands helps A LOT! The window track is part of it, so...

    is all deuces hard to get in second gear

    I have just recently bought my truck, and all my standerd shifting experiance is with sports cars and japanise motorcycles, and one C20 with a 4 speed. I was taught that you do not ever ever EVER NEVER hold the clutch in at a light. This was pounded so hard into my head that when I drive with...

    How many problems am I gonna have?

    In Washington you have to have them look up the VIN, and find the last registered owner. They/you do your best to get a hold of the original owner, and get them to sign a lack of interest form or whatever its called. Then they print off a good title. If you cannot get a hold of the owner...

    Looking for the specific difference between "Split Rings" and "Split Rims/Widowmaker"

    Thank you all for your clear and helpful responses. I doubt I will be able to convince my grandfather of this either way, but at least now I understand it well enough to attempt. I also have added a few items to my shopping list, thank you all!

    M35A2 Recovery in So-Cal

    Thanks! When I get some cash to start fixing the truck up I will make a thread to conical the whole project as I go. Just for that reason ;)

    I want to tow my Corvette with my Deuce... Suggestions?

    Depending on the paint condition of the car, I also think you might consider having it shipped or put your things in a trailer and the car in the truck at a loading dock. Towing a car like that one just has a high likely-hood of damage to paint, damage loading and unloading, ect. =/...

    Looking for the specific difference between "Split Rings" and "Split Rims/Widowmaker"

    Looking for the specific difference between "Split Rings" and "Split Rims/Widowmaker" (Not sure if this should be under Deuce or Safety) About a year and a half ago I picked up a 1980 C20 for $150 from a GI on Fort Lewis. I brought it over to the folks house to work on it and my grandfather...

    srodocker's "little" project

    Scott! About a year ago you let me drive your truck around a bit. I wanted to give you the finger for giving me a full on OD Infection! Lol. I ended up breaking up with the girl that came with me that day, which meant all of the sudden I had money again. I saved and schemed and worked two...

    Quick newbie question about LEDs, do they care about 12v VS 24v?

    Thanks all, the signals are made in a cluster, and I assume made with the resisters specifically for a 12v motorcycle system. For some reason I thought that LEDs didn't care much between 6v or 110v. I was mistaken, thanks all!

    Quick newbie question about LEDs, do they care about 12v VS 24v?

    Ok, really simple question. Would Leds designed for use on a 12 volt motorcycle care if they are run on 24 volts? My truck had the original turn signals removed and big bad spot lights put in the place of the turn signals. I like the spot lights and have some motorcycle LED turn signals...
