That is what I figured, I thought that I could cut out the back of the cab, and extend it out by 12-24'' with sheet metal and then weld and paint it all back together. I would have to take out some of the bed though. I guess I need to look in the Duce modification and hot-rod section now !!
Thanks
Hey guys, I am wondering, is there much of a difference in the cab size between the A2 and A3 ? I would like to own a duce but I am a 6'7'' 340 pound guy. I was looking at some up in PA today and me sitting in the cab of an A2 was like stuffing a cat down a toilet. I am hoping the seat on an...
Since starting this thread I picked up a M116A2 / M101A2 off of Craigs List. The only bad part is the surge brake system needs looking at. the top to the master cylinder was missing along with it being dry.:roll: Hopefully the surge system can be salvaged.
Thanks to everyone for the input. I guess the consensus is since I will be using my 1/2 ton PU for towing a loaded trailer into an area that was recently hit by a hurricane ( that is why I need some sort of off road capability.... so I can travel across roads that have all sorts of debris on...
My plan was to get a solid piece of 2'' square steal - the same as on a standard truck hitch that looks like this then get a .5 in to .75 in steel plate rectangle cut to 15'' ( my hitch is 22'' off the ground now to accommodate the 36' trailer tug height) weld it on top of the square...

I have tried to look at some other threads but I am not sure it was covered this way. I am wanting thoughts on towing a M105A2 with a 97 Dodge with a 360 V8. I tried to bid on a 101A1 but at the last minute was outbid and I am noticing that 105's go for much cheaper. I also like to have brakes...
Thanks for the invite, don't know if I will be able to make it to that one though. I hope I will be able to get some hands on experience here in Middle TN, that and I am trying to save my pennies to by something big and green to drive there ;-).
I started looking on SS for info on trailers - and quickly got drawn in now I am researching for a Deuce. I live near Franklin, and have no experience with Deuces, other then they are big and loud - kind of like me :wink:. If there is anyone around Middle TN that could show me how to work on...
