    Bobbed Deuce - Why use M105 trailer frame too?????????

    I appreciate vintage but... The cool factor is not in the equation. I am building 10 hurricane relief trucks for South Texas. The turning radius of the 6X6 is BAD. Sliding the rear axle across debris covered paths while turning only to pick up nails is BAD. Form is following function for...

    Bobbed Deuce Brakes - an easy fix for you guys and gals

    I just made a plug for the rear brake block that branches the single line to a "Y" for the rear axles. When you Bob a deuce you only need one outlet. 1/2x20 threads and a 45* concave end is what is needed in a plug to fit in the extra port. I could not find one commercially so I just made one...
