Rat Deuce project 1

[BBQROD]

Oh yeah. Unique defiantly I'm worried that the 5.9 will be a little to loud in the cab I might have to build a custom muffler. I guess I'll see Wednesday when my 90 degree elbows come in ups.

 

[BBQROD]

Finally some progress on Frank N Deuce. Twins!

Don't worry there not going to stay that tall.

 

[RAYZER]

This thing is sweet!!

Well I have got a few more things completed. I cut the exhaust down to a reasonable height. I put the rear window panel in and cut out a few window seal plates.

 

[BBQROD]

Well today me and Frankin Deuce went on a 130 mile test drive. I purchased a pair of super single 22.5 tires and now I have got two find two rims for them.

Everything went well on the trip but the primary fuel filter got partially stopped up so I see a fuel tank flush in the near future!

 

[BBQROD]

And I forgot about my home made exhaust fender flanges

When you get a chance how about a nice side or 3/4 view photo of the truck in the sun? Everyone wants go see all of your handy work

I don't know how much more I can do without buying a press but I'm saving all the files for repeated use.

I just wanted to say thanks for the cool thread.

It'd all be flat sheetmetal. Think HMMWV. I have a couple hundred page book with the prints for everything.

 

[BBQROD]

Sounds like fun just shoot me something via email (PDF or what ever) and I'll give it a shot.

 

[BBQROD]

Well I worked out a trip to the liberty truck and tractor pull Saturday night averaged 60 mph on a bus tuneup only issue was a drive shaft vibration other than that it purred like a kitten. Well one that likes to whistle at least.

[BBQROD]

Got some coming soon fixing to start paint and some cosmetic work.

 

[BBQROD]

Oh no I have some drive shaft woes! I'm having a phasing or angle issue. New joints good support bearing. Doing a little research and fact finding to figure out what's going on.

 

[BBQROD]

I found some steel super single rims today! Ole Frankin deuce gets some new sneakers tomorrow!

 

[BBQROD]

Whee Hoo! I'm so excited I finally got to install my super single mud grippers today. Ole rat truck is starting to shape up.
