i got a parts truck. parted it out, took what i wanted and even made a few bucks.

 

[Floridianson]

Yea you right. I like to use the front sprins for the Deuce also. I also like the Deuce bed cut down and will be trying that next. You could watch GSA auctions for a cheap truck and part out what you don't need.

all right James, play nice!!!

If you can't get the springs off a deuce the springs off a M105 trailer will work...you will have to get hangers or fab them.

I plan to cut the duce bed and go with the dual wheels. I like the 105 bed but i think I like the cut duce bed more what do you think?

I have to agree with you. It keeps the lines clean. Nice looking bobber. Very clean.

I like the cut down deuce bed for duals, but I like the M105 bed with singles.

If you want a cover, it is easier to find an M105 cover than it is to have the M35 cover modified.

We have a "spare" M35A2 I've been thinking about bobbing. The truck is solid, but it has a lot of rust in the bed. It will probably come down to what we can find the cheapest and quickest, if/when the time comes.

I'm thinking about using the springs from one of these:
http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=4175728

It's rated at 2.5 tons, so it should be batter than an M105.
It's set up as a spring-under but shouldn't be a big deal to flip it.

Thoughts, opinions?

I used 5 ton front spring setup I like over the 2.5 ton weight rateing
the 5 ton had a more stable towing and that it wont let the rear drop down as much 2.5 ton did.
Also I went with air ride on my lates build.
And it ride better than 389 Peter built did.

I think you should read the rules before you post.

3d63, I know where a set of springs are if you can't find one close to you.

If you can't get the springs off a deuce the springs off a M105 trailer will work...you will have to get hangers or fab them.

Or just cut the frame down in front of and behind the springer hangers and bolt the whole assembly to the truck frame. It saves a LOT of drilling and grinding on rivets.
