I am planning a trip to the sandy beaches of Padre Island National seashore. With 19.5 duals. What would be a safe pressure to run the tires. I have tried a search. :airing down 19.5. But nothing related comes up.
What options are there in the U.S. for a 4 x 4 cab and chassis? And what is the correct term for this body configuration. Sitting forward over the engine?
Plain old truck. No DOT. Not all insurances will cover it. You might want to check with your insurance company or plan on changing. If I had to do again. I would go with 350 and rearch the springs. That would allow me to use tires that I can deflate on sand and snow. Not have to deal...
1911/350: The Dodge is a 4500. 4;10 axles. Limited slip. Diesel, 4 x 4 Crew cab. Cab and Chassis. 200 inch WB. On the Ford I had 3 inch lift in the front with a donut. Plus 3 inch lift in the rear consisting of re-ached leafs and one extra leaf. Supposed to be 20K payload similar to the...
That view makes it all worth while.. Some times you just have to stop working and use the truck. Even if it not perfect. Your looks perfect it that setting.
A relatively tight welded tube is a solar still. The air that enters will break down and form water. Add in the relative humidity and changing temperatures and sweating evolves. Per scientist way smarter then my. If you close off a container. Not totally airtight as a normal welder would...
Please drill weep holes in your boxes. I check one of my lower boxes today. Water to the bottom of the hinges. I had all ready drilled holes in the top boxes. Just forgot the lower. High humidity and changing temps cause a lot of condensation inside the boxes.
What did you use as the gauge for how high to go with the boxes? Where do the frames attach? It looks like you could have raised the boxes higher. But then the muffler sits lower then anything else on the truck. I hate that on mine.
thethepete. You said all that I was trying to say. "Channel is stronger, but only on one plane." I am in no way trying to disrespect your family business. We both have the same business philosophy. Build the best product that you can. I am sorry for any disrespect you may have gotten from...
thethepete: I am sorry but I cam not agree with most of the statements that you have made. Channel is stronger pound for pound then tubing is in the right structural application. 1 x 1 x .100 has no structural strength to be used in a crosser application. Anyone can take a 100 wall tubing...
There seems to be a lot of interest in Trucks with flatbeds and campers. So far everything on my build seems to be working great. We have had some really cold weather for Louisiana. It appears that the electric heat wrap is keeping the basement warm enough to not freeze my tanks. I did not...
All of the pictures of my truck will show you that it looks like. All of my boxes stick out past the bed. I extended my swing out brackets to allow loading without a problem. One of my boxes even stick out a hair more to allow me to put my spare tire inside of it. It is 34 inches from the...
