I have a guy that is trying to sell me this box. He claims it will fit in the bed of a deuce. Will it? Or is this some other type of shelter?
Thanks!

If it's an S-280 varient, like it appears to be, it should be 87 x 147 inches - and should fit.

Well if it is to big for the deuce, just buy a 5t, if too small for a deuce, buy a CUCV if it fit none of those, buy a dolly, still won't fit, sit it on the ground and call it a POL storage.
My only question would be "How cheap is it?" Wayne

$400 & apparently he can get his buddy w/a rollback to bring it to my house for free & charge his AAA account for a tow.Well if it is to big for the deuce, just buy a 5t, if too small for a deuce, buy a CUCV if it fit none of those, buy a dolly, still won't fit, sit it on the ground and call it a POL storage.

I meant my question to the seller would be "How cheap is it" but thanks for saying.
Don't give him a chance to change his mind. Best I remember the last ones sold around here went for more than twice that.
You could never build or buy anything that cheap for just even storage. Wayne

Here are the interior / damage pics
The measurements are : 7'2" WIDE 7' TALL AND 11'10" LONG
Anything you guys see that would not make this a smart buy?
Also.....no more free shipping......now it is $100 extra. So $500 total to my house.

Yup, still a great price. That damage can be fixed with a rectangular shaped piece of flat aluminum, a drill and a rivet gun.
I got first dibs if you don't want it! (hey, I live 2000 feet from him, so I get dibs just cuz I'm closer!)
