I'll start by saying that originality has a steep price. I was lucky to have a donor vehicle around to rob a lot of parts off of at a discounted price. Long story short, you could buy an A3 cheaper than doing the swap. I didn't want to part with my Deuce so I paid to make her truly one of a kind.

This is by far my favorite toy of all time. I've always wanted that truly original something and continued to find another one similar. Believe me when I say that this truck has a home.

I still have my A2 fenders on the truck. Those headlight buckets for the A3 just bolt on. I picked mine up at TNJ Murray for $120 a piece. You'll also have to buy the different mounts for your turn signal indicators to sit on top. I don't remember what they cost, but TNJ Murray has those too...

That's right. Fiberglass.

The CAT has a bigger radiator and an air to air intercooler. That forced the headlights out to the fenders like the M35A3. It also forced me to use the longer hood and odd shaped side panels off of the M35A3 as well. I'm definitely okay with how it all turned out. She definitely turns heads and...

Gonna paint the wheels over the weekend and probably get a good coating of tire shine on those tires to try and prevent any dry rot. I'll post a few more pics when shes all shined up looking her best.

Super Singles are the best mod yet! Goodyear MV/T 395/85R20's on stock rims. She'll do 54 mph in 4th gear and top out at 72 mph down hill in 5th gear. Pretty scary!

Little bit of paint and some LED head lights.

I hooked up with the boys at M Series Rebuild who happened to have a wrecked M35A3 sitting on their lot. They swapped in the CAT 3116 and mated it to my Spicer 5 speed. After some body modifications this is how she ended up. On the trip home with the CAT she topped out at 64 mph downhill, but...

On a trip home from work one afternoon, I had an o-ring give way on one of those oil filter canisters and slowly bled out every drop of oil over a 30 mile highway stretch. By the time she started to tap, it was already too late. In my efforts to limp her home (after adding oil) she finally gave...

After some painting, cleaning, and a little tlc, this is what she looked like.

I did some swapping for this beauty back in 2009 and brought her home looking kind of rough. Broken glass all around, old tires, and a top speed of 54 mph.
