updated pics, 5 ton 4 door

[Chieftawny]

The M809 series 5 tons and the deuce share the same cab. ( M817, M816, etc. )

OK, cool. I just happen to know where a cab is laying.

Now you've done it. You would think by now with all the threads about deuces and 5 tons most people would know that a lot of the stuff is used on both. Just my thoughts.

ELMO has his own web page. look under the email address frankntruck@yahoo.com to fid him on facebook.

as far as updates,,, starter is worn out, need new one. brakes are bad, master cl is leaking, need to locate rebuild kit.

Dave, I don't know if your still reading this thread but in order to get to see your facebook page I must be a facebook member, which I am not. Any chance you could post a few of the finished pics here?

I'm really interested to see how you finished it out. Did you put the tire behind the cab? mount a hoist? what kind of A/C did you use? And only about a million other questions that might be answered by being able to see pics of your killer build...

Thanks in advance!!!!

There are a several of out here that do not do face book and have no plans on doing so. So please post pics here to.

Pretty awesome, for sure!

Thinking about taking the spare tire off elmo, moving the bed forward 3 feet to bring it more in proportin, chop off the excess rear frame, move hitch forward. moving that hitch forward is what is gonna be a chore, Lots of holes to drill in that thing! and i certaily have to have them all there to tow the 10 ton trailer wit the ferret on it. BTW, Elmo drove oklahoma and back, with ferret in tow, Top sped was 74 mph! that ws down hill of course. up hill,,,,,can someimes drop to 40,,,lol. Flat ground average speed of about 65.

It looks great in the shorter Pic. How long is it between the cabs?

 

[jdgreen]

[big block 88]

Simply massive in every way, I love it

 

[camoyj7]

Can you post some interior pic's?

 

[davesgmc]

Interior aint no where near done, gottabuild a back seat. put a/c in. poer windows, ll new dash guages (digital?). Make a new tp. Mrp front seats. radio racks in back sea for radios. Sero system to rock and roll on. gun racks. have complete interior rhino lined. etc.etc. this project will NEVERbe finished. when it is "finished" I will sell it .

If I could make it bigger, I WOULD!

pul 6-71 detroit out and install the 12v92? That shuold get it to twist a drive shft huh?

 

[Bighurt]

Do you think it will fit?

 

[davesgmc]

yeah, should fit no probelm, the 671 is in there now. is the engine yours?

 

[Bighurt]

Don't I wish...the one pictured is a marine version. Different manifolds...

I think the 671 and the 12v92 are the same length, my concern was the width and your inner fender well.

 

[davesgmc]

inner fender wells can certaily be modified if need be. That wold be a big project to swap my 12 cyl in, but is definaely not in the dont do list yet. the 6-71 is down on power a bit, but wil still out run a multi on the road. pull sthe same loaded with 11k being pulled and another 3k n the bed. Getting the bed moved and the new fuel tanks on is first on the list. then on to the front end. want to sretch the front fenders, extend the hood out. then re-wire the complete truck.

 

[Danger Ranger]

Chop it! It looks great in the shorter version, h*ll, it looks great now!
