I picked up my 105 trailer last thursday out of Lansing. I just need to get with Westfolk and get my springs, refill the O2 tank for the flame torch and find some rims for the 16x20's and I'm in!! HOTROD M818!
I have done both and I am happier with the duece, much lighter overall, does not get as much attention with the local athuorities and once I added the power steering to the duece I sold the 5-ton
There are many more things to consider along the way building and driving both I will stick with the duece's.

Can you elaborate a bit more on the weight issue?
Did you bob both a 5 Ton and a Deuce? If so, how much did each version weigh, before and after the chop job?
Any other tidbits you can share would be most appreciated.
So does anyone sell the bobbed 5 tons? I don't have the means to make one, but we had a M35a2 and the guys at the local National Guard were good for helping us with parts. I would love this for some local hauling.. Besides the duece was a champ, so the five ton would be even better!
John winslow!!!! thats who is doing mine!!! price wasnt bad and the truck looks amazing!!!!!!!!!! they do great work and are always a phone call away!!!!! great guys!!!!!!
a bobbed 5ton.....WOW, that would be so awesome.......I was thinking the exact same thing. Please post pics if you do decide on the 5ton. good luck with your buildup.
