Id say the newer electric wipers, power windows, and blower/defroster system is far superior to that of anything in the deuce and far outweigh anything negative about them being electric. I dont plan on fording 50" of water either.

Well i would only be using power windows, blower motor (just a resitor pack), the wipers and maybe electric seats. nothing else really requires any fancy wiring.

Well i see i am not the first one to have this idea then. I am really going to start looking into this though i dont see any keeping the stock front end. I still havent gotten a chance to take any measurements. i would preffer a 90s+ cabs that would have modern power windows, nice captain seats...

Does anyone have any pictures of the deuce chasis without the cab on it? Or pictures of the cab removed by itself?

That is really awesome. I would preffer to use an existing cab, with door windows, motors, heater cores, vents, blower motors etc that can be purchased as replacements easily.

i completely agree about the front end. I really like the deuce front end. I will take some measurements and try to see where it all would fall. i know the deuce front wouldnt be the same shape as the doors but buying a couple fenders could be pieced in i think to make a perfect fit. My C60 was...

thanks RRworker, i think the deuce is a great platform im just displeased with the cab of it. I really dont think its all that much work to swap the cab over and really would be much cheaper than buying an entire truck. Its not that huge of a job i dont think. Ive put a 454bbc in a c60 327 dump...

Thanks! I really dont feel like towing that thing back 500 miles though haha.

How much do you think the 12ft deuce bed weighs? im curious if im gonna be able to remove the bed with our forklit. it's a double reach truck so it will lift 3,000lb extended 6ft out or so.

I was actually eying up the international crew cabs but they are hard to find. reasons i wanted to use a deuce platform and not something else Deuce transmission, trasnfercase, axles and frame a very solid and parts are readily available just about everywhere. The reasons i want to use a...

Haha you are probably right, you guys have successfully discouraged me from further investigating the possibility

Did they come with an LDS engine? Im not familiar with the line trucks are they just converted deuces?

Oh i bought the deuce for its versatility, not any historic aspects. It would be nice to have it crew cab with power windows and a nice heating system and more room to make it the ultimate vehicle. you can buy 80s crew cab trucks all day for $1500 running im sure i can get one for $1000 not...

While looking for fiberglass tops for my truck (since the hard top on there is a little worse for wear) i see i can get them for around $700 or so. For that price i can get an entire crew cab cab from a silverado. There doesnt seem to be a whole lot of things what would need to be relocated and...
