I get 14 MPG. People can't believe it!!!! After the truck goes on a diet and loses all the weight of the bed, the walking beam ,4 ft of frame, and 6 tires, the draw on the engine is much lower. I roll down the road at 60 MPH and have a blast.

What can you do to add more room between the steering wheel and the back of the seat? In other words there is not enough room to get my fat ass / belly in between the 2?
This is on any deuce not just a bobbed one.

Bobbing a deuce has no effect on cab size.
I have seen pictures of "extended" cabs, but it would have to be a bit of a pain and mean a custom top also.
Adding air-assist steering and going to the smaller 5 ton steering wheel would help a little.

Tiny, we can build extended cabs as well as crew cabs. These do take quite a bit of additional labor. For a crew cab or an extended cab we have to fabricate a new roof as well as modify the cab. For a crew cab, we use two original cabs and modify them into a crew cab.

I'm looking at the pictures on the Bigler website; the cab doesn't look that tight. I'm a pretty big guy too, but it looks like there would be enough room.

I would love to hear from any bigger guys out there that have driven one of these!

You do very nice work, a true craftsman with an old MV. I'd be proud to drive that one anywhere.

It doesn't look like you take any short cuts in your work, to just sell a truck for a quick profit <example:> you actually take the time to flip the rear hubs, so the rear tires track properly with the fronts, instead of just bolting the rear wheels on backwards with an outrageous offset. Also you didn't hack-and-stack a M105 trailer frame, under the truck for the needed lift.

To me, things like this make your truck a notch above the rest. Good job:beer:

Here are a few pictures of one of our recent builds while it was in the paint booth for initial painting.

WOW--What professionals--a true repaint in a true paint booth!! Not just some rattle cans in the driveway or the back 40. Will be looking at more of your work. Hope bidders appreciate the quality of your work and realize the value!!

From their website, they appear to be a professional business. If that is the case, please do not use the forums to sell your vehicles.

We are interested in what you build, just keep the postings non-business.

It's a fine line.
