100DOLLARMAN's 1st Bobbed 5 Ton!!!

[100dollarman]

This is what we are starting out with--- nice M813 with winch-

Plans, info, pics to follow!!!

I have a couple of 2.5T bobbers ahead of it, but we should be able to get started soon- cant wait!

I've been itching to do one too.

I can't wait to see yours!

Good lookin' truck, thats an interesting tan color, i like it better than the lighter shade.

I started bobbing my 2nd 5 ton yesterday.They are a lot easier than a duece.

I would love to have that M813 just the way it is. I'm sure you will do it up good.

It's about freakin' time you bob a 5-ton Hundy.

Is this one a customer request or will it be for sale once done?


edit: Just saw the answer to my question on Pirate4x4.

I would love the 5 ton as is

What a good looking truck like it is. If it's gonna be sacrificed be sure and do it extra nice!

How come all the bob jobs gotta take a nice 6x6 and cut it up? Can't you take one that is a little rusty and less-than-perfect and make your red-headed stepchild out of it?



Sorry, just my two cents. It's a beautiful truck you have there, hate to see it get neutered.

 

[bubba_got_you]

wish you would save that one and cut up a piece of crap one

I'm all for modifying Military Vehicles and everything, but that is one pretty truck. I couldn't bring myself to cut that one up.

Maybe it's me but I like em tandem. If I wanted a 4 wheel drive MV I woulda bought an M37 or an M715. Can't beat the cool factor of a 6x6.

I agree... Find a less than perfect one. Just my That one is really nice... Put it in the classifieds and for the money buy two Sh^&y ones from GL to bob.

Cant wait to see it, please post lots of pics.....I have been thinking about dropping my rear axle if I keep the truck for a while.....cant wait to see the progress!

I appreciate you guys that dont want to cut it because it is a nice one--- but we only BOB nice ones!!! I always pick out the best trucks to use. My customers WANT a GOOD truck, not a POS!


Honestly, if I could make a living selling non-bobbed trucks, I would. Last year was so slow that I decided to do more 'bobbers' this year to help keep business rolling. It is what people want, and it keeps me and my employees fed.

BTW- if anyone wants a nice 5 ton or 2.5-- I have them in stock!

You are the best

I understand the dollars and cents of business... Wish there were another way. Ford made a lot of 65' mustangs and they are hard to find now. Someday these will be too. But I do understand the money issue. At least they are not going to the crusher! AS a side not.... I have a bobbed deuce. It is what attracted me to this hobby, so maybe this is a blessing in disguise.
