Well welcome to the site. Come roll on up here to our shop. We got some deuces for sale, and are also bobbing some right now for customers. Feel free to come drive some around and check them out

We can prolly answer just about any question you would have on one. Also this site is great for information. Make sure you get one with the airshift front, which more then likely most out now have one but still. I would say get a multifuel, and theres a bunch of options on the bed, springs, and setups you can run. Also to run the bigger tires i would put a pyro on it, and adjust the pump some.

Are you wanting a winch, non winch, hard top, soft top, heater, etc

RE: new guyt with interest in a duece

see thats AWESOME! but i am soooo unsure of what i want. i will be sure to check you out. right now i really just want a LARGE duece... i have been thinking of building a truck on 50ish tires but thinking of the cost of building and then thinking i need HEAVYDUTY axles HEAVYDUTY engine HEAVYDUTY trans. i cam to the conclusion why not find a truck that already has those items and just lift it instead of a pickup... naturally everybody runs rockwells on their monsters so it seemed right to just use the whole truck that was designed for the axles and the deisel power. then i stumbled on this site and seen the one owned by 55cameo and now i just can't stop thinking of owning the largest truck in my county

i think right off i would like some frills like heaters but i just have no clue whats possible

Check my avatar this bobbed duece could be yours for 4500.00 Antique tag and clear Florida title

nice rig any specs on it?

Glider,
If you want meats that large, you will need some serious lift. Give Allan a PM (55cameo). He could point you in the right direction.

thanks! i seen his truck on here and how he spliced in frame rails to gain lift. since i weld for a livin and have lots of steel around maybe i can pull something off!!!

also did you get the pics i sent you? would you mind sendin me any more? and maybe some specs on your bobbed duece?

thanks fellas i appricieate the warm welcome and patients for a guy who is truly lost!!!!

Hey- all of us were lost at some point, and most of us probably still are and always will be!

Are You going to drive this off road only? One thing I think that gets lost is the safety factor.A truck like that was never engineered for public roads. I would hate to see what a 52" tire would do if the studs broke off. Not to mention the bad press brought to the MV hobby if there were a fatality.good luck on your search and be safe.

 

[Streetgliderx]

well i have three thing i would like to use it for.. first off i have 750acres and i always need a good winch to pull on a dozer tractor or log... never know but i think i would love to have one for some light off road..... and yeah i kinda wanted to ride the neighbor hood and let the guys on 44"s gawk at my big.....tires.

would large tires put more stresses on wheel studs than a loaded truck ? i mean bed loaded with ...what ever folks put in them?
