Hey Cam, thanks for weighing in. :beer:
Getting the trailer post up to, and then down onto the GNH, I don't have a problem with.
My original post is just trying to see if anyone had done this in the past, and if so, what materials or kit was used, and how was it modified or
installed...
Hey Jeremy. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.
Yup, I measured the deck/hitch height on the F350 my neighbor pulls the trailer with, and also the position where the gooseneck hitch will end up being mounted on the Deuce frame, and they are within a vertical inch of each other.
I...
Last Spring I bought a 26' triple axle gooseneck trailer with a 30k gross, but until buying a Deuce, didn't have anything stout enough to pull it with.
Now I've got it in my head that I shouldn't have too much trouble mounting a hidden gooseneck hitch under the bed of my tandem axle...
Welcome! :smile:
If you want to take a ride out East about 30 miles to Calhan, you can come and visit my Deuce.
I also have a US Army Deuce inspection form, that will help make sure you get a good one when you find a Deuce you are interested in.

Reflectix, available at HD or Lowes, would make an excellent heat and vapor barrier. It may even help with the sound levels as well.
If you're not familiar with the trade name, Reflectix is the bubblewrap with aluminum foil coating on both outer surfaces, often used in HVAC and insulating...
Junkyard Dawg
When I was growing up, my families business was the junkyard.
We usually didn't have the proper equipment to do any job, so when I was being taught how to dis/mount tires, running over the bead with the 1 ton wrecker was how breaking the bead was done! aua

Done deal!
Thanks again to those who were later posting than some others.
I've made the deal on the 11:00's, so that part of this mission is a done deal. (Thanks Cameron) :-D
I have also made a deal on enough single chains to cover the two front tires, and the outer tire on all the four...
Single chains on each axle
Thanks Ron! I spotted that member's ad and left him a comment.
It would seem I could cover all six axles for less than $250 shipped...and I'd have a tough time finding a deal that good anywhere else.
Thanks SS!

Welcome! And greetings from Calhan, 35 miles n/e of Springs.
I can't be of any help with your Jimmy, but if yiu ever want to wrench on a Deuce, I can help you out!
Jay
Going for it!
After reading these replies, going over some PM's from SS members, as well as more research of my own, and I've decided to drop the hammer on this deal and go for the 11:00's.
I would like to give many thanks to all who took time to reply, and hope I can return the favor...
Thanks for taking the time to reply BPD, but in reading the posts you linked, I have been unable to find any info about 11:00x20's on a Deuce with snow chains.
I am aware that snow chains are available for 11:00x20 tires...but that's not my question.
In spite of searching for hours, I have...
I've searched until I'm bug eyed, but I cannot find out if I can run snow chains on a Deuce with 11:00x20's in dual configuration. :confused:
I need tires on my Deuce and have the opportunity to replace my 9:00's with 11:00's, but, they are useless to me if they cannot be run with snow...
I managed to find a new 24volt, 1000 watt, pure sine wave inverter for my Duece on the E place for $170 shipped.
I plan on mounting it under or behind the pax seat to keep the cable runs as short as possible.
Since I also have an 18k electric WARN winch, I'm going to install the 160 amp...
