Default Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck

Ok, raining here,
Time to do some thinking and load some pictures for a update on Tripple D.
Tubes and flaps, and Firestone 6.00-20 tires:


Brian (owner) at English Tire West Springfield PA


Bob at right his helper. Bob stopped over to visit that evening while I installed these tires.


Tube is covered by the flap, tucked into the tire:


Rim positioned over the brass valve stem:




Lock ring started and gently worked around to snap in place:


He was very happy with my lock ring rework. I was glad I did not have to add welded nuts and bolts to hold these together. Lots of sweat equity into these 7 rim units. Yes well worth the efforts!




Gentle taps with a 2 lb hammer to seat the lock rings:


THE CAGE! Not sure what I was expecting but this was the unit!:


More tapping by the boss:


Matching the patina of the ring to the wheels:


Notice how my head is NOT in there!


Repeat 7 times!




That evening at the shop, Torque to 90 Lbs:




I like it! Looks truck like too!


Regards,
Chris
