Malibu, California-Style Black Deuce

[baja_power]

I really like those door locks. they are actually engine hatch brackets for High performance boats. they are billet aluminum and sell them in long reach and short reach. he has the short reach..

here’s a link to Eddie marine- a high performance boat accessory shop.

Thanks for the locks link. I could use some of them bad boys.

Here is one picture I left out of the LED Turn Signals

even though I am still not sure about the paint on that truck,it is better than cutting them down to make them shorter or making them look like an oversize pick up.

I for one don't like the door lock idea. What is the purpose in chroming all that stuff only to have a padlock hanging on your door? I just really don't like the idea of having to open a padlock to get into my truck. Seems that a paddle latch would work better and look cleaner. Hell, you could probably get a deadbolt to work pretty easy...

FOTFLMAO!!!!!

That's a Kalifornia Deuce and then some! Why does the word "tacky" keep coming to mind continually................ The only redeaming quality are the tires for me. Driving highway miles those tires are what I need. I'm surprised they didn't paint those tires gloss black as well..................

[Recovry4x4]

Attachements got lost is the great server crash!

 

[Polverone]

I can post them back up. I also just got a great shot of an M211 duece with a 502 cu in Chev rat motor in it that passed my friend........doing about 75!!!
I'll do that tomorrow when I get back in the office.

Pictures back up

I was able to repost the pictures again on the first installment of this thread so the new readers can hate chrome too. If only the chrome was powder coated satin black.

Gary,
BTW, we went looking for the window stickers as we have been reorganizing or apartment since the break-in and evacuation. Somehow the stickers have disappeared. Any chance of reprints?

 

[Polverone]

Ah bummer. I heard about your breakin. That really blows.
Sure, I can do that. When I get them done I'll notify you and get your mailing address.

 

[Desert Rat]

Way cool bud!

 

[M35guy]

thats not my style, a deuce to me doesnt look right, unless its OD green, camo or desert tan. that shiny black, the chrome, and all that, just looks wrong.

 

[rmgill]

I do like the look of that custom canvas...

This truck lives right next to that intersection where it was parked (across the street from Dukes). Heading northbound on PCH, turn right at that intersection (Las Flores Canyon), and you will see that truck usually parked on the left side of the road. The owner lives in the split-unit complex right there on the right.

HI

is tinted window ????

 

[Polverone]

No, the windows are not tinted.

Here is the turn signal and toolbox that got truncated in the great crash of 2005.

No, the windows are not tinted.

Here is the close up of the LED turn signal and the toolbox that got truncated in the great crash of 2005.

I think it is fantastic. Look at all the work that went into it. They did a great prep job for paint. Fit and finish are great.

That a step on the front of the bed? Seems a good idea.
