[sandawgk5]

Actually a freind of mines dad works for Varco, and he gave them to me. I'll see if I can get a brand and part #. They work awsome.

Thanks guys, I'll try to snap a couple more pics. I had to change some things and finish some others but its close to done.

 

[jtrux]

Very impressive.

 

[muddermilitia]

did you ever figure out the problem with the rear steer pukeing fluid?

 

[sgarrison]

Awesome!

Yes, I added a second resivoir with a breather. When I was on angles the fluid was blocking the breather and pressurizing it. No more probs. I'll snap some pics tonight.

Are you going to change the flatbed at all? It looks so weird having those bedsides low like that and they seem to rub your tires when flexing in other pics I've seen. I've got mine up to the body line and I still rub sometimes.

What a P.O.S. who wheels a diesel anyways?

 

[M-1028]

Yea I know 6.2's suck but n/a 6.2's are worse. Hows that turbo swap commin along Chris.

Dude you are the 90 millionth person to say something about my bed. I like it low with the "fender" look and yes my tires rub the crap out of it. It dosn't hurt the bed or tires, shoot at trail pressure the tires will wrap all the way around the tube, it looks bad ass. Like I tell everybody consider it my bump stops.

I am so broke right now it is just holding the garage floor down. Once I get caught up on bills, I will finish my hydro assist, then the turbo swap.

Very nice! Looks like you decided to drill and retap the housing when you flipped your chunk. I had done mine the oppositte way.

How are those big chiefs workin out for ya? Is that a 1" clevis and subsequent 1" thick mounting bracket? What is the extended length of those bad larrys?

Thanks

Yea I've seen the housings done both ways and they both seem to work good.

The big chiefs work awsome, I havn't bound the steering up yet. They are the 1" pins w/1" mounting surface. Don't know the exact measurment but I would say around 28" fully extended.

Yea we will be up there for the Halloween run, should get there Fri. Yea I saw pics of your truck, looks good bro., my only suggestion would be to get it as low as possible. My truck went from 9" of lift to 6" and it was a WORLD of difference, low Center of gravity is the way to go.

Later

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

do you have a build thread on that or at least some stats

 

[Gaffed]

Project Deuce should be awesome!
