What the **** is this ?

[overlordofmars]

I was at a military parts dealer today. I saw this monster parked at the place getting woked on. I have seen some heavily built up truck but this looks impressive.

Ok I know this has to be some custom work or something, my question what the **** is it ! Is it based on a real truck design ?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Its an A3 deuce that has some custom work done to it. There is already a thread about it here somewheres.

 

[overlordofmars]

I never saw anything like it. Who built it do you know the other thread ?

 

[quickfarms]

It looks like it was made for a movie but which one?

 

[Seth_O]

X2 - looks like a movie prop to me.

 

[motorolanut]

X3 No doubt a movie truck or advertising stunt

It's an up-armored roach coach. Even warriors engaged in combat need grab a quick sandwich or slice of yesterdays pizza and a dew. I wish I had thought of an "In the ****t" mobile catering service.

Most likely used in the the urban community at construction sites

I was there this past Tue. myself and was told the guy had it built elsewhere. He uses it for promotional displays for his business, whatever that may be and Dave's men are going to be installing one of their hydraulic power steering units on it.

It really is impressive, and I gave it a good look over myself..

So that is real steel plate, I see the rear squatting a bit.

 

[overlordofmars]

The panels on the rear body did not feel like steel, they had a plastic feel but were like a woven rough feel. There was a generator in that body section behind the cab, it was a industrial Kuboda diesel . The glass observation tower on top is what caught my eye. I have seen something like that before on one of those south African armored international trucks.

I dont think its squatting, it just the way the box is built low to the ground combined with the rear sloping hood.

 

[Srjeeper]

The very back has a fold down ramp instead of a swing door...I don't know what they did for work and neither did the folks I asked about it....but I got the impression it may have been like a DJ's kind of rig or perhaps a Band's truck.

Guess you could say that about bobbers also, or big super singles on deuces/older 5ts, or tractors with beds

 

[lawdog1623]

yes you could....i have no desire for a bobber....the bigger the better imo....you know what this truck kinda looks like? it kinda reminds me of those cartel narco tanks that theyve been seizing along the border. Theyre taking big trucks like deuces and welding armor all over them for use in their narco wars.
