YOU BOBBERS NEED TO GET BOBBING!!!! I JUST PLACED AN ORDER FOR 150 EA OF THE BOBBED DEUCE DATA PLATE W/O MENTION OF WINCH. THERE WAS TOO LITTLE RESPONSE TO PRODUCE IT IN BOTH A W/W & WO/W VERSION. HOPEFULLY THE ABSENCE OF ANY WINCH MENTION WILL WORK FOR YOU GUYS. THEY TELL ME THEY WILL BE...

AS IT STANDS NOW I HAVE REQUESTS FOR 6 WO/W PLATES, 5 W/W PLATES AND 15 XM381A2 (NO MENTION OF WINCH). IT IS NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO PRODUCE ALL 3 AT THESE NUMBERS EVEN FACTORING IN FUTURE SALES. UNLESS I GET A BUNCH OF REQUESTS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS I WILL PRODUCE THE ONE XM381A2 (NO...

Jimm, thanks for the positive comments. I noticed that you are in lft--i grew up in marksville & during my lsu days would fly to lft to go to the blair house restaurant. Was sorry to hear of its closing. David

IMPORTANT!!!!! WOULD YOU BOBBER GUYS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THE PLATES & OFFER ANY IMPROVEMENTS. ONCE THEY ARE PRODUCED I'M STUCK WITH ERRORS & SO ARE YOU. PLEASE COMMENT OR I'LL TAKE SILENCE AS YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE. NOW TO HENDERSONJ'S QUESTION: This is not a simple question to...

Jimm, see the early pages of the thread--this is discussed there. In a quick summary this was a bobbed gasser prototype # from the 1950's

Please tell me what you think or any suggestions for improvements. Thanks, david

Here are the final drafts on the plates:

I should have the final draft out to ss for comments by the end of the week. Once it passes comments from you guys and a couple of other groups then it is off to production. Art work costs have taken an increase as they cannot work from a .jpg file and it all has to be converted to something...

I should have preliminary art work on 3 plates for the bobbed deuce-- XM381A2 wo/w, XM381A2 w/w, & XM381A2 in a few days. I will post samples here for your comments. The XM381A2 plate will be used for both w/w & wo/w if production costs make it impractical to do both plates. I would...

The plate shows an early gasser w/o winch weight. This is what I will be startng with and will use actual rounded off weights from a w/w & wo/w bobbed deuce. Approx empty weights on the two are 10,600# & 10,300# so we should clear the bumper height restriction hurdle nicely. If anyone has a...

Good point Nonotagain, XM381A2 will be the designation on the plate. I never considered registration issues

anyone have a feel for how many bobbed trucks are out there? w/w? wo/w?? oh, once i get the plates finalized production time is approx 8 weeks so don't expect them tomorrow

I have info from a bobbed deuce actual scale weight

Those weights have not been updated yet. That plate info eas from a military prototype program. I have info from a bobbed deuce actual scale weight

Opps, I forgot the plate picture:

I have gotten back to work on this project. I am starting with the M381A2 plate, making it for a 2 1/2 ton, updating the weights, not mentioning a winch, removing the ordnance number, removing the manufacturer and leaving a blank block to stamp that in. I thought XM35A2B or XM35A2BOB or ??? as...
