Big Daddy-
I don't remember the year on the 5 ton, I'll have to look it up. It has a rebuilt multifuel that was put in last year. It starts like a top even in the cold. Its does need some new glass and paint. I haven't put a price on it yet, but it is definitely available for sale or trade...
Bjorn-
I haven't measured the spacing between the rear tires, but I think it is 4 or 5". I think some of the pics looked closer because of the angle and mud on the tires. See if this one helps you see it better. If anyone gets tired of me posting pics, just shoot me. It is so easy now...
Big Daddy-

I have added a few more pics. Hopefully, these can answer your questions. Now that the pics work, this is sooooooo easy to post pictures. Fantastic! I expect to see a lot more pictures from everyone.

Forgot to mention these are Michelin XML 395/85R20 tires on custom double beadlock rims with run flat inserts. I'm pretty sure the 1400s would be too big. I have the 1400s on the 5ton and that is right tire for that application. The 395s tires are 14ply, stand 46" tall and are a perfect fit...
Has anyone put a detroit locker in their deuce? That would be a great help with traction. I would like to pursue it, but don't know the effort involved and which axle is best. For example, does the axle have to come off the truck first?
