What do you think?

I know that they are not the preferred way of lifting a truck, and are not recommended, but

Here is a good article on why you should not use them -

i know i know i am going to have springs made when i have cash.I've never heard the illegal here and i dont think anyone will bother me about it. it will only be a few months untill i have the springs made. it is only lifted 4" so its not to high

Yeah those tires and lift make your dump truck and grader seem tiny

 

[bubba_got_you]

As it turns out it is illegal and thanks to who ever it was who pointed it out it looks like I will be having some springs made before I thought.

No problem. I only point it out because it's not one of the normal vehicle laws that seems to take the fun out of life, it's actually very unsafe. I've seen worse though, lol. A local idiot ( and I do mean idiot as in village idiot) put is front axle back in with all thread rod instead of U-bolts because they were "too expensive".

Definitely not legal here in VA or the surrounding states.

I know for a fact its illegal to change any stock suspension and go 2 sizes bigger or smaller tires in the state of maryland. not all cops know this they go by bumper hight. 28" for 1/2 amd 3/4 ton truck and 32" for 1 ton trucks. The whole blocks thing is illegal and not a very good choice. Now I wonder what the bumper hight is suppose to be on a deuce.

[boomer]

bub ba,
(meen?)
You should have asked that. Then we would know for sure- what you mean.

 

[boomer]

Your answer-
It looks ok. Are you comparing it to- the way it used to look? If so, pictures! Then we can give you an accurate answer.
Also, That's nice that you have the toy dump, and the grader to keep it company.

Trevor, a good looking truck. Stock engine?

Did I miss the answer to that question? My recollections are that the flat head engine in those was rather weak and got only 6 MPG.

However, one of those old beasts got me home in '68 with a few extra holes down the right side.

Where does your spare mount? Do you still have a place for one with those upgrades? The 2 I drove for Uncle Sam in '67 to '69 had it mounted on the driver's door hinges and was a pain to egress in a hurry. It did give you a little ‘armor’ on that side, though.
