    Putting disc brakes on a deuce

    I'm with you 100% on that idea.

    Putting disc brakes on a deuce

    It is actually amazing what the pinion mounted brake does on a monster truck. At least they have 2. I'm trying to figure this out. When the truck is rolling down a hill and the torque is from the tires on the road, it is then coming thru the differential to the driveshaft. Don't you have...

    Just acquired 12 m211's......

    What size tires are on that 4 wheeled one? They look great. How much did they add? Looks like about 4" added to a m135 wheel??? If I were doing to modify a truck, that is what i would lean toward. Thanks for the pic!

    Putting disc brakes on a deuce

    How about a couple pics of your pinion brake set up? Does it use the original master and power pack?

    Putting disc brakes on a deuce

    Disk brakes would be an improvement as long as you upgrade to a modern 2 chamber master cylinder. It would take some engineering. The original brakes do lock up when they are functioning as they should. The problem is that ANY leak will cause a loss/reduction of your braking power. I installed...

    Finally getting some use out of the deuce!

    Awesome pics. I suppose you probable have 30" of ice or more? You are probably looking at 12,500 and close to 15,000#

    Getting the old girl started again

    Nice running truck. Mine sound the exact same when I start them. I just assumed it was 60 year old starters... On to the timing light! How the heck am I going to get the inductive pickup to work with those plug wires???? Thanks for the video.

    M211's your guys opinion

    The bare chassis and cab can easily go be gooseneck on a pickup. It will weigh about 10k without the bed. I just hauled one. The other, well you may be better off to have someone local lift the tank off if you don't want to keep it on and haul it seperate. Maybe you know someone who can haul it...

    M211's your guys opinion

    It is a no-brainer. Buy them! Thanks for sharing the pics. I look forward to seeing the progress.

    How about some pics so we can all enjoy?

    M211's your guys opinion

    Well, buy them. Good luck finding transmission parts. I'm told they have a lot of parts that are different from the caddies, but I don't really know for sure. As far as value, do they have titles? No title = $175/ton. It is hard to put a value on them. 30 years ago, people used them on farms...

    Hardtops and Heaters

    Judging by the little rectangular pan mounted in pucture 8, I'm gonna say ex-fire truck? That was a mount for a 6 volt flashlight in the early 70s. The ears were where the hold down spring was anchored. Thanks for the pics!

    1953 M135 Rebuild Project.

    If you really want to get fancy, get some M135 wheels to match so they are tha same offset.
