A thought... I am slow but sure. The experimental truck has the bed mounted low and even with the cab... HELLO! The light came on. I was in a rush to take measurements and saw the 5 ton bed had 6" beams under the floor and the deuce bed does not. WRONG. The deuce bed also has these...

who aupplies them Several vendors... I mostly see Hutchinson & Titan. They acquire tires from Michelin and assemble the kit and sell them as one PN. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

exactly Yes, AM General shipped them out after the A3 upgrade with half the tires running "backwards". AM general did not do this with the M939 series of trucks and they have different part numbers for the drivers and riders side tire assys for the 1400 XL (directional) tires. The...

assy These are supplied as an assembly (tire, wheel and runflat). I realize they are the same tire but a directional tread tire assy mounted to go "forward" on the drivers side will be a different part number than one mounted to go "forward" on the passenger side. Two part numbers for two...

well... I think you guys are giving the Govt too much credit. Stealth tire direction to cover travel (except when you turn and kick up dirt), opposite directions for traction instead of using non directional tires, etc. I work for the govt and this is WAY to advanced... My input? Single...

Just remimbered... The pic cleared up my memory. The first nut in the center goes on backwards and I only needed 3 nuts. The second layer reverse nut statement still applies if 3 are not enough and you go to 5. Start with 3. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

Wobble I chased this down on an A3 I bobbed. Here is a pic of the fix. The add 5 lug nuts opposite the CTIS weight. The center stud will have one and the two on either side will have 2 ea. There is not a lot of thread sticking out so the first layer nut you put on goes on normal but the...

ted Thanks Ted. There was a post on here about the air kit being used on a deuce and it was to high (~4") so I am wondering how it will fit the 5 ton. If it will clear, rotating the backing plates 1 hole would be an EASY fix. I will know more this week when the kit arrives. Justin...

photochop It is a bad photochop but it gets the idea across. What say ye about the height of the bed. Even with the bottom of the cab (second pic) or even with the front fenders (mine)? Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

more pics... I had to put the kiddo to sleep. Here are some more pics. Chess, Cummins 250 Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

progress This weekend was a good weekend. Stripped of the air & electric lines from the rear of the truck. Removed the drop down portion of the pintle hitch. Cut off the muffler mount and cut the exhaust pipe elbow. Dropped on the deuce bed and took measurements. I have decided to go with a...

not mine... Not mine. Just putting sweat equity into it. I am going through it so the next owner will have a worry free truck. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

bed One more consideration for the deuce bed over the 5 ton cut bed... use of the soft top. I have some tan cargo covers that I can put on it. A cut 5 ton bed will require a custom ($$$$) cover and hardware. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

deuce bed I chose to use the deuce bed because I have several sitting around. Either way (deuce or cut 5 ton) I am going to keep the length at 12'. It looks balanced on this chassis. The 9' bed is just too short. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

how much I had the base truck listed for $15K. This process will add the following: 1. Bob job and air suspension $3000 2. 1600 tires & labor $1200 3. Double receiver hitch & labor $ 750 4. Repaint tan $...

Saturday progress Today was mostly a thinking day. I pulled the bed and pare tire carrier this morning and spent the rest of the day looking, measuring and pondering. The result... 1. The deuce bed will need to be lifted 6" to match the tunnel under the 5 ton bed to clear the t-case. I am...

sad but true It is sad but true. I have been through 40+ trucks in the last few years and the debris from former projects gets to be hard to keep organized. Keep an eye out for my Red Azz sales. They usually happen when I get enough of the clutter and need to organize or make space. The...

Factory airlockers I have two sets of FACTORY Rockwell airlocking axles that fit our 5 tons. An added plus... the shafts are 1/4" bigger than the 800 series axles. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112
