Got the wheels from Boyce Equipment in Utah. They are 20" x 12" wide with 6" of backspacing. The Tires are 16x20's. got them off e-bay for $175 each, so I bought 5. Always need a spare! The things had never even been mounted before. Absolutely brand new. Of course they cost me $100 each for...

Here are a few pic's of the progress.

When I bobbed my truck I squared down off of the frame to the center of the front axle. Marked the frame, then cut everything loose. That way when I went back witht the axle I had a center line to go back to. After laying out, drilling, and mounting the spring hangers I installed the axle. The...

Like rd3war said......Boyce. Ask for Mark. He's a really cool guy to work with. That's who I got my bob kit from.

RE: Re: RE: Bobbed Duece for sale The guy did a pretty good job of putting it back together correctly. Re-installed the rear frame plate with the pintle, shackle mounts, and everything. Even installed a receiver hitch. Looks nice.

It is illegal to drive a vehicle on the road that has lift blocks on the front.

M16TY Your absolutely correct. Most truck winches are rated by "rolling load." This is a very deciving testing method, since there are so many factors that can change the outcome. "Line Pull" is the only test method that should be used to determine which winch is best for you.

Great Job! You can never start to early getting a kid interested in learning a trade. As a Certified Weld Inspector, Millwright Apprentice Instructor, and a Mechanical Superintendant I can tell you first hand I can tell immediately who know's their way around a shop and who is there just for a...

Yea, I would hate to have a gloss black hitch on the back that truck. I would really clash with the WHITE, RED, AND YELLOW !!! rofl

RE: Deucey Bobbie The truck is looking good! Good luck.

Yes I used the front springs and hangers from the front of another deuce. I am custom building my own bed. It will look something like an M-715 or 40's model Dodge Power Wagon with rolled diamond plate fenders on the outside of the bed panels. I have added a few pictures of the build up. If...

I tried to buy that thing when it came up on e-bay a few years ago. Ran out of cash before the auction was over. aua

Thanks I'm having fun building it, and I really enjoy all the support this site gives me. I'm really wanting the finished product to be a vehicle that first off performes second to none, second off look really unique, but third and most important, is fun to drive and comfortable enough that...

Boyce Equipment has what they call a "bobber kit," which is what I used. It is the complete system from the front axle. Talk to Mark, and tell him Russell in Arizona sent you. I've bought quite a bit off of him, and he has been really great to deal with. Check out my thread "Work on the War...

Didn't have a chance to check it out tonight. Had to rebuild a hub on a 10ton flat bed. I'll check it out as soon as I have a little more time. I will post my findings.

The wheels are between $300-$400 each depending on where you get them, and what style and finish you get. The tires are very expensive new. Over the counter they are almost 1,500 each. You can get them from military surplus auctions pretty cheap. I got mine off of e-bay for only $175 each , and...

No I haven't.......And I'm afraid to! I'm a Millwright by trade, so I know what ever I find I'll probably be pretty p***ed off. I will have to now, because now it will bother me until I know.........Thanks alot.......LOL

RE: Work on the War Pig continues !!!!!!!!! I ordered the wheels from Boyce Equipment, and he ordered them from Marsh Racing. Thanks

RE: Work on the War Pig continues !!!!!!!!! I've been talking to a couple of different places about fabricating some new leaf springs. Deffinetly going to go with a softer rider, since I'm not going to be hauling 5ton in it. It should give me better articulation, but I'm not sure about going...

Work on the War Pig is moving forward. I've got all 4 corners rebuilt with new bearings, seals, brakes, and wheel cylinders. Pulled the motor last week. Purchased a 2003 Dodge 2500 with a 24v Cummins this week. Will start the install in a few weeks, if work and the wife allows. Got the 52's...
