Default My Bobbed Deuce is almost done

Well this is my 1st Thread over the last few months I have been reading the forums as I fix up my truck well it is getting closer to being finish so I thought I would show its progress and let me say thank you to all SS members for all the Ideas
list of mods
Air ride seats
70 amp alternator
headlights converted to 24v h4 Bulbs
4 Hella 24v Fog Lights
False fuel Tank installed with a 24v air compressor hidden inside and Extra Air tank for seats
Dyno mat in cab to deaden the sound
rear exhaust
Electric Wipers
2 large high lift Jacks mounted on the bed side with key lock pins ( I still need to take pics of this )
have a headliner, center console, back cab walls, & door panels modeled up in catia just need to make the time to get it on the CNC machine and have it vaccum formed
I have these parts waiting to be installed
Electric windows and door poppers
24 volt warn 3000lb winch for the bed
24 volt warn 13000lb winch for the front

Sharp looking truck. Good Idea with the converted second fuel tank.

Looks great, the tan is really nice. I am also in the Wichita area and would really like to get a bobbed deuce eventually. Did you bob it yourself or have someone else do it? 100dollarman seems to do a great job but I don't really want to fly to California and drive it all the way back when I do end up with enough savings.

Your plans for the interior sound cool -- you should give us some more pictures when that comes to life.

I bought a stock one from a guy in Oklahoma I was going to bob it myself but after I got back to Wichita I called him & asked about a few things and he made me a great deal so now I have the 6x6 and the bobbed one

Why the electric winch for the front?

Other than that, looks pretty freakin' good.

Electric winch for several reasons its bigger than stock, I do not like the way the bumper sticks out on the stock pto winch on a bobbed truck, wireless remote so I do not have to have someone in the truck when I am dragging trees up the hill, and the main reason price I got it for $750.00 and it was brand new

robr,
That is a purty truck.
Love the tan and the bedliner.
The cluster with the names in relief is a cool touch.
I will follow this thread to check out how you did your tool mounts in the bed.

Yep, Per Tee
