Bobbed deuce is finished

[gimpyrobb]

Also, the front tires clear without tocuhing anything, even flexed and turned sharply.

You must not have tried very hard. My inner fenders are trashed and the driver's side front tire rubs the drag link on hard right turns.

Maybe i'm just lucky, but i've had no inner fender scrub or drag link rub/scrub. Here's a video of my "Yeti" in action.... and you can see the frame twist and the rear driver tire lifting

What does dished in mean?

Look at the pic in post#1 of this thread. The way the wheels are mounted. The "dish" is the way the face of the wheel is shaped. On the front of the deuce the wheels are mounted "dish" in on the back they are "dish" out. Think dish like a dishbowl.

With the rear "dished out", it had a wider track, and I didn't really care for the look. Having flipped my hubs and running the stock wheels "dished in", the rear will now track the same as the front, and have a nice even look to the truck.

To Each His Own

I am not a boob fan . Why drive half when you could be driving the whole thing. That why I drive a Suburban and not a Tahoe. Sorry, just my two cent. and we know what that will buy.

Eric,
If it bothers you that much, don't read the posts in the "Deuce Modification and Hot Rodding" section of the forum. To each his own. When I get time & find some front springs mine is going to be"Bobbed."
P.S. I like boobs too!

Why not have your cake and eat it too. Have a stock deuce and a bobber. Problem solved. Done and Done.

Seriously though that's what I'm gonna do.

Me too

 

[Towman2277]

That's how I look at it as well. When I completely finish this one, i'll be removing the center axle from the next deuce, and build me a quad-cab 4x4 deuce with the M105 trailer bed on rear, AC, Insulated cab, etc, etc.

Okay going to get a deuce seen all I need to see now got to get one just look cool bobbed

I'm stacking up tubing and pipe now to build the exo-skeleton and bed. Should be started on it all this evening. I chopped the driver side tool box off last night, and will be moving the tank and batteries to the rear of the truck up nice and high. I also got to looking, and i'm going to build a protective plate and bracket for the brake airpack assembly.

 

[Towman2277]

I was able to install the gooseneck and receiver hitch today!!! Finally! Now I can install the cut down bed tomorrow. I also relocated the batteries and fuel tank. I'll post more pics tomorrow
