Good looking truck, but you need to post your pictures here on Steel Soldiers. That way in years to come others can see and enjoy your truck too.here is my truck. don't think it has been posted before. this winter it will go back in the garage for more work.

That's just "Awesome" !!! How did you run your torque rods ? I can see how the first and last axles would work, but the center axle would have to float between the two. How did you do it ? Need lots of pictures !

I was wondering how the springs are sitting in the perches?

I guess I need to kick off a build thread. It's going to get a little better but I really like it! Thanks

Try opening an attachment in a new window via right click. I did that and all images started to display properly.

Sweet setup Wehring. LOVE that Tan 5 ton Mod - would look pretty good on a Deuce I bet - still got your photoshop running??

SO, Call me crazy but Although I love the look of the Deuce, the cab is a bit too slim for fitting much in there in the way of gear for camping and such. I had the idea (again, crazy, I know) to widen the cab at the front to be almost as wide as the fenders - then run it back into a double cab - wondering how that would look. My photoshop skills (at least that type) are pretty rusty or I might attempt an image mod. - How about it C&C and you other pro Modders - ever heard or seen of something like that or do people just skip the hassle and go with a 5 ton? (where's the fun in that?). - I was just thinking,, oh, did I type that out loud?

I believe a lot of us would love a wider cab in the deuce. Especially those of us who have added a few pounds since our days in the military !
I should tell you the story of how I had three people in my deuce (including me) . This female Captain insisted she ride in the lead truck (mine) . She had to ride in the middle. The rest of the story gets a little racy.

My heap, working on the rear squat here when I decide I want to drop the coin on custom springs.

Inline6359,
You need a 4" lift block to make the truck sit level with M105 springs.

I typically use 105 springs and M35 front hangers. The packs themselves are the same height as M35 fronts. It's just the manner in which you hang them. They allow a little better ride as well. Here is a pic of a spring perch on a truck I'm rebobbing. No U bolts were used... not good! They just had bolts to the plates then a top plate on the springs. Oh and while I was tearing it apart I found that the axle gears are welded solid.

I thought about a lift block, but with as much weight as I have put in this truck, the 105 springs are not ideal. I found a company out west who will make me a set of custom springs at any rating I desire for about 600 for the pair. I just need to get around to measuring for them. That and honestly I haven't. Even able to find a place with a 4 inch block.
