My 5 Ton Singled Out! Mounting the big 20's!

[jd-ford-hd]

Here is the before and the after. Drives really nice. Improved ride quality and just a little more ground speed at any given rpm. Wheels, tires, painting, o-rings, valve stems, travel time, motels and gasoline spent to round all this up: about $4,000.00!!! The new look of the M818: PRICELESS!!!

Sweet! Are you going to put a bed on this truck, or use it as a tractor?

Looks good! How long have you had the truck?

What rims do you use to mount the super singles to and where can you find them, my truck has the older duals I was thinking about conversion in the future ? Thankyou Mark

Check with OD Iron, they have them for the deuces, and I think as well for others

No plans for a bed since this truck will see tractor duty. Check this thread to see it in action.

We use it for off road hauls. I am working on 24 to 12volt conversion for the trailer wire circuits so on road movement with civilian trailers will be possible.
