I go or have been going all the time. It's my back yard. Going to Truckhaven this weekend.

That looks good. Black is as all-business as OD green.

I am furious at myself for missing this trip. :evil: Will someone please PM me or something next time there's a SoCal shindig in case I forget to check back? Thanks!

Michelin's are called tweels. They work good except for building too much heat. (EDIT) They only get hot at hiway speeds...

How much weight can you hang back there before the deuce gets nose light and handles funny? I guess not a big issue as the deuce is so heavy and slow.

Probably should post up in the hotrodding forum....?

I'm sure someone has hotrodded these engines...like you said, more air, more fuel, some timing tuning, etc = more power. Go for it! My '95 (all mechanical) Cummins Dodge has a modded pump, bigger injectors, bigger turbo, bigger pipes in/out....434 hp and probably twice that tq. One downside is...

horsepower, schrmorsepower....there's torque too you know. The deuce prolly has several times the tq of the Cavalier...apples to oranges. Your 3500 is a much more modern engine with a much differnt purpose in mind when it was built. How many cubes/how much tq do they make?

I agree '95 is newish (mine is).The pre '94s are stronger, cheaper, simpler, and UGLIER. :-D

Yeah. I should have said "with stock tires". That whole post was pretty disjointed. I traveled all day yesterday on 4 hours of sleep. Sorry. :-D I dig the heck out of your truck. Nice and cheap, simple and useful as long as you're not a namby-pamby. Did you bedline/dynamat it? Sidenote ...

Thank you, sir! There are some COOL trucks in that link. I like the bobbed custom crewcab. The red looks OK if you're gonna use it for a fire truck I guess. And white is fine for a utilitarian use. I think I'd go black or AF blue, or tan since I live in the desert.

...driving the wrong truck! sell it and buy an old dodge with a cummins. over 55mph in a cucv is crazy Best use of a CUCV is add big tires and use it for what it was made for...hauling stuff slow over rough terrain. If you want a modern truck capable of 80mph and comfartable, buy one...

I'd like so see one in semigloss black or maybe air force blue....or whatever else you've seen that looks cool. Thanks

Nevermind...I searched!:-D

How about instead of taking one axle off a deuce you started with a tractor and put a stubby bed on it. Then you'd be shorter and still have 6 wheel drive. has it been done?

How about a fullsize pic of the pickup? Thx

OK...I've seen this thread...how do I get to the rest of the forum? I hae a burning deuce question.

Hmmmm... Looking for a snatch block for my warn electric (sigh) 12k winch. From what I understand, to recover a stuck vehicle, you need roughly twice what it weighs. Also, when you put a pulley/snatch block on, it doubles the pull. SO I should need a 24k pulley. But I looked up the deuce...

Love them on my blazer. The thing is a beast. CUCV axles, Detroit lockers in both. Goes places it's hard to walk. Lots of clearance without a lot of weight.

Think you got it. Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Stryker_ICV_front_q.jpg
