once you have the duals off its actually a lot easier to do than it sounds once you get into it. it only took me about 2.5 hrs to do one axle. the hardest part was resafetying the bolts once you got the hub flipped and reinstalled on the drum. its so simple to do, i don't see why you should have...
ranchhopper, i've never liked the fore/aft spring flex you get from under spring lift blocks like this. i'll probably fab some under frame lift blocks for the perches. thanx for the pics, sanitary lookin truck...
my problem is that my deuce is an 85' and cannot be registered historic. as far as i know in this state and this state only you are required a class b commercial or above to drive a 6000lb vehicle with 3 or more axles. this is my main reason for bobbing. you can go with the same gvwr after...

does any body know anything about an FSC issued power steering kit for the m35a2, nsn#2530013884240?? i'm just wondering if its a full, bolt on kit. or if it requires extra parts not included. from the pictures i've seen it does'nt look like it comes with a pump. anybody ever installed one of...
very nice truck 55. the picks of your truck up next the other bobbed deuce shows that it just looks more correct moving the axle back on the frame than keeping the stock placement. i was trying to decide whether or not to move the axle back on my bob project and your pics sold me. thanx for the...
i picked up some brand new 14.50 xl's on ebay awhile back for $200 a tire shipped. there's always good deals coming and going there. just keep your eyes open.
