This thing just keeps getting better all the time! Ever consider writing a manual on duce modification with a resources list. Might be a fair amount of interest in one.

^^^ Agreed. When I finally have enough money for a duece, this thread will be priceless to me. I just hope all the links still work when the time comes. Oh, and hopefully Robr will still be making his custom panels...

And Robr, if you don't already think you've got the cleanest bob'r around, I say you should start thinking so. Everybody else does!

I got a little done today
Mirrors painted & installed
fit checked the steering wheel and sprayed it with 3 coats of cerakote ceramic coating on the steering wheel.
I may not use this one for long I found a 3 spoke I really like and it will bolt right on to the adapter I made

robr- let me know if you want to sell your 5 ton steering wheel, no need of it sitting around and going to waste

 

[srodocker]

[robr]

yep no mods needed its just smaller

Sorry if i didn't notice this but, did you install power steering? If not wouldn't that steering wheel make it difficult to steer the truck because of the lose of leverage?

I surprised that you have not made a custom peace to cover up the wires running out of the turn signal switch Now that I said something you'll probably engineer some custom tilt-column with internal wiring...LOL
