You do very nice work, a true craftsman with an old MV. I'd be proud to drive that one anywhere.

It doesn't look like you take any short cuts in your work, to just sell a truck for a quick profit <example:> you actually take the time to flip the rear hubs, so the rear tires track properly with the fronts, instead of just bolting the rear wheels on backwards with an outrageous offset. Also you didn't hack-and-stack a M105 trailer frame, under the truck for the needed lift.

To me, things like this make your truck a notch above the rest. Good job

I agree about your comments about the hub flip, but i am not so sure about the use of a trailer section (as 100dollarman does). Wouldn't that technique negate the use of the welded on lift block and thus reduce spring wrap?
Aside from pretty paint, the absence of a lift block seems more solid to me. I know the alternative was criticized for welding a section to the frame, but could a long frame section be bolted on the bottom of the original frame, then the trailer springs mounted to that, 4 inches lower, therefore eliminating the blocks? Also , would that not allow the use of original front spring mounts/shock mounts rather than fabbing them?

If you use the original front spring mounts theres no need for either the trailer frame under the deuce frame OR the lift blocks. The only reason you need some sort of lift with the M105 spring hardware is because those mounts mount on the side of the frame not under it.
