Double Deuce crew cab

stock tires look like doughnut spares on a deuce..i'm so use to seeing mine on the 15.5s anything smaller looks messed up to me

I told a friend that I was getting an M35. He questioned my decision, stating "They're pretty ugly." So then I showed him one with singles. He rescinded his question

The best money can buy

Its going to be getting some 15.5's and my custom 2 piece bolt together wheels that I sell. I am also going to install a power steering, as I have plenty of them laying around here to here is a pic of a tire and wheel.

looks nice

Got some more done on it yesterday, we got the top pretty much done, I thought it turned out pretty good. I used a 4' wide piece of 16 gauge for the splice, and then added 3 struts across the top to stiffin it up out of 1-1/2 angle. Makes a good solid top out of it that way, I put about a 1.5" arch in the top for further support. Also I took a picture of the rear cab mount I made, using a similar design as the factory one, but it will allow me to put the bed a little closer to the truck. I have some welding to finsh on the top, and with any luck we will get some sort of step system and the fuel tank installed today

Looking good real good.

you keeping this one or selling?

It will have a price tag on it, but plan on driving it, but I said that about the last truck I built for myself, and only got to drive it 2 times before someone else wanted it worse than I did

I keep imagining this not bobbed with a 105 bed that has had its wheel wells removed.

How much frame do you have left behind the bed?

I have left the frame full length, it worked out perfect for the 9' M105 bed. I ended up with about 11" between the cabs, looks like there will be plenty of leg room, and of course I am planing on sliding the drivers seat back for the big guys. Here is a few pics with the bed set on temporary. Got all the steps and fuel tank mounted today. I also added some struts inside the cab to hold the side from moving between the doors. Whats your guys 2 cents between the steps. I thought about closing it in with sheet metal, but I think it looks ok the way it is. It will need to flex at some point anyway and you really could not tie the 2 together solid, it would have to float. Should be rolling tommrow.

Are you going the lengthen the rear drive shaft? If so what technique are going to use? If you are going to lengthen the drive shaft could take a few pictures, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

at this point you will be putting final paint on by the weekend wont ya? SLOW DOWN! your making the rest of us look bad. lol

Looks like I am going to need about 7' of tube, I will proably just weld in a new tube. I have a machine I use to turn the shaft while welding it.

I figure it will take about 5 more days of sandblasting and paint time, Then I will have to put it all back together

I'd not join the boxes at all. What I think would be cool is a slide out tray/compartment there. You could use it for all kinds of storage or just a rack for some 50 cal or 20MM ammo cans. That would be way cool.

I say remove the second tool box altogether and put a slide out BBQ pit

4dr

looks very cool what i need so when i head to dunes i dont have a four truck convoy

looks good not sure i would have went with those braces maybe a cool looking roll bars would have been better that way you could have put some three point seat belts in there to.ammo cans would work out or you could make some dummy panels.or put some gerry can holders and just do so extensions on the steps .the gerry cans could sit side ways and would come in handy for extra water ,
