About to acquire a new to me M-62 and was wondering what it would look like with super singles. If you have pics post them and let me know what you have done. Thanks in advance. Snakeater

was looking at my new conquest and it seems to me that adding power steering to a 135 would be a relatively easy thing to do with the steering box location being outside/on top of the frame. Anyone thought about this? Done it? I am assuming that it would be relatively easy to fab. a power...

does the pto in a 5 ton dump face forward or backwards or is it a double flanged pto? Looking at a 5 ton dump that has had the bed removed as a bobber project and was wondering if the pto that is in it would be applicable for using a winch on the front. thanks Snakeater

has anyone ever been into one of the cvc tanker helmets electronics? i am wondering if they can be retrofitted to be used as an intercom in a deuce? I found a few of them for sale on ebay and here locally. i thought it would be cool to use them as hearing protection in my big deuce, but have...

I am looking for way to make the bobbed deuce drive and handle a little better. Obviously power steering is going to help more than anything, but do lockout hubs in the front help any? I am in the process of acquiring the parts for the power steering conversion for my truck, but want to know...

Finally bought a m-35, been wanting one for years. Found a dealer in tullahoma tn, that had purchased a few m-35's, 5 tons, and 5 ton dumps. we drove over thursday and took a look at them and I selected the m-35 bearing the winch. Prices were extremely good, has three more to sell for around...

I have looked all around and I have seen only a few winch bumpers that were custom. I imagined somthing that would be a little closer to the body of the truck to make the winch not such a hood ornament. I am building a bobber, but mine has a winch and I plan to drive it alot. I am looking...
