    Tools for bobbing a deuce

    I used a hand band saw by Porter Cable to cut off the frame. Made a real nice clean cut. Harbor freight sells a cheap version that uses the same blades. They sell the quality blades for their cheap saw. An angle grinder with flap discs was great for removing the rust from the frame. A torch...

    I know it justin, But I already have these. Did you see how I configured the rear crossmember and hitch? I measured it all out so it will all just clear and the tailgate will hinge strait down.

    Ethan Crane (HIAB) Bobbed Deuce Build

    It was several years ago, but I think it was $150 to $500 per cylinder. This was cheaper for me as all my cylinders had to be shipped from Germany. The snow has melted off, but the weather is still cold and miserable. I am trying to clean out my garage and have a garage sale so I can get back...

    5 ton front springs on bobbed deuce?

    Thom, I am currently working on bobbing a deuce and am planning to use a set of 5 ton front springs for the rear. I had the same thought that it would provide some extra payload capacity. The only problem I see is that a duece rear axle is 3 1/2 inches square and a 5 ton axle 5...

    Why are threads or posts erased?

    Maybe you should change the title to the earlier thread to one that is related to what the subject is actually about? instead of "Ummmm, what??" So people can recognize and find it in the future. Bill Michigan
