Another Bobbed Deuce Project

[Dirtygrunt]

Well while Im waiting on my wheels thought I would put a 12v alternator on the Deuce. I printed the diagram from one of the other members. Now I have to wire it up so here are the pics

How much for the Long wheels?.

 

[Dirtygrunt]

About 1200 shipped for five of them

 

[bones1]

Thanks, that's not bad , do you have any pictures of them?.

 

[Dirtygrunt]

Not yet I just sent this pic to cj and told him this is what i wanted and he said they done those wheels so it would be no problem

 

[bones1]

Good looking wheels, thanks.

 

[cidrich]

That paint rack you have is alittle heavy duty isnt it? Looking good. Cant wait to see it finished.

 

[Dirtygrunt]

Got the 395s and Long wheels on

 

[Dirtygrunt]

some got cut off

 

[Dirtygrunt]

how much air pressure would one run in a 395 mounted on a one piece 20x11 wheel thanks

man that is a sick ride!

 

[Dirtygrunt]

Thanks it rides nice with the air ride setup

 

[cidrich]

I want to ride!!!!!! The truck looks GREAT! I like the wheel and tires you put on it. I cant wait to see it in person. You have done a wonderful job!

dirtygrunt, you have inspired me to go directly to air ride, i was going to do it eventually but after seeing how well yours and cidrich looked and I imagine to perform-I have been persuaded. Also where did you get the mount for the alternator? looks factory but I havent seen any threads with that exact bracket but maybe I missed one. thanks for the pics. any words of caution or warning before I dive into this project?

 

[cidrich]

slickdeuce I would just do it. It is pretty easy to install. Mine came from a freightliner and went in nicely. Rides GREAT! I dont know how the peterbuilt set up like dirtygrunt used goes in but it looks pretty close to the freightliner. If you need any help I would be glad to answer any questions you have.

I got the plans for the alternator bracket from here but the adjusting arm is a motor mount from a 70 model harley. as far as the air ride you will love it.....

great job on both these trucks, i have a pete air leaf sitting in the yard waiting for time , getting old time is short

 

[slickdeuce]

Thanks Dirtygrunt and cidrich, Im making contacts and plans as I write this. very nicely done again to both of you.

They have caused me to go directly to air ride as well.

I'll never use springs now.
