bobbed deuce project info please

[Billy Bobbed]

I lengthen my driveshaft 4 1/2 inches longer and went off that.I wanted my bed closer to the cab about 1/4 inch from cab springs.

I'm another new guy considering buying a Deuce and bobbing it.

So to simplify the bob-job instructions:

1) Torch and hammer out the rivets holding the rear suspension to the frame.

2) Remove ??" from rear frame.

3) Install a pair of front springs to rear frame. (see "a" below).

4) Install rear axle to new springs. (does it matter which of the tandem axles you use?)

5) Lengthen rear driveshaft accordingly.

6) I imagine the brake lines and some electrical wires to the rear of the truck will require some fanangling?


a) What do you guys use for spring hangers and shackles? Are these welded or bolted to the frame?

You forgot to remove all the bumperets and bracing from the rear pindle crap and drill out alll them holes. That will be worse than the shackles

I gearing up my self and I think I will mesure how much space is now between the cab and bed of the Deuce then give the 105 bed the same space and see how that looks.
