M818 toolbox on a bobbed deuce

[Smokinyoda]

Recently aquired a bobbed deuce where the bed was cut to short for the frame, and ends about an inch or two before the bumperettes. If I keep it I really need to fix it as it looks very tacky this way. I have come up with 2 solutions, the obvious being cutting the frame back to fit the bed.

But I would prefer scooting the bed back about 13" and adding a M818 toolbox and spare tire carrier behind the cab. Or maybe even some sort of crane and spare tire rack similiar to the 900 series trucks. Has anyone done this to a deuce or have any pictures they could post? My search skills have let me down as I cant find anything.

I would use that excess area to put your spare tire rack and 800 series tool box, that would look clean. Saves the hassell of cutting the bed down more.

Thanks for the pics. I think that tan truck with the trailer bed looks to long. My 8' deuce bed should look just right behind that toolbox. Now to find one...
