Chevy/Ford Body on deuce frame??

[tm america]

i think it would be cool to put a cabover cab on a deuce put a sleeper behind it and then slide a different suspesion under the front and make it a 8x8.all of this without making the frame longer maybe cut the stoce duece bed down to fit whatever you have left behind the sleeper. maybe 10ft or so.oh ya hydro steering would be nice to maybe even get fancy and do all wheel steering with some 395s on there and a cummins 6bt and a allison.hydro winchs front and rear and a dump to

if you are using a deuce frame with stock engine location and plan to do something like this

your front passengers would need to be pretty skinny as most of the front seat would be engine. (assuming you didnt swap in a smaller motor like an ISB, lower it in the chassis and/or push it rearward)

ya something like that but i would mount my front suspension farther forward. i think one of those old 1970s gmc -white cab over cabs would work nicely or one of the ones from the ford cab overs like from 1960-1980s

Stacking frames make a good bit of room for AG tires, only problem then is spacing of rear axles.

With the 395s should work pretty good, I would have them mounted on the deuce frame so you can alinge the body for no rubbing, well if they are mounted on stock deuce wheels, they will rub anyway. Get some pics!

Back to the Chevy - Ford body theme, I am thinking to put my Yukon body on a deuce frame when the motor/transmission gives out.

It would be nice to have a 6x6 couch

It appears that they kept part of the original frame in the pic... or maybe a modified channel body subframe?! I've seen it in a video, and it has a gas burner v-8 by the sound of it.

it is a LWB deuce chasis with the middle axle pushed forward a bit. the body is a quad cab with a extended cab welded to the back and two bed sides welded together. It has a 460 auto trans and transfer in front of a deuce air shift t case.

Itried putting a deuce motor in a ford f8000,same cab and frontclip as the 700,800 series,cut out the fire wall all the way up to the bottom of the dash,still wouldnt fit. I was going to raise the cab with a body lift to make it work,deuce engine is pretty big,good luck

i was going to use a International cab when i get a chance

I would love to do this with a newer style ford body 99-07

I was thinking the same thing. I am planning on buying an m35a2 w/ winch and driving it until I can size out and buy the right cab/body for the conversion.

The only issue is I have no idea if it would really fit. sized some pictures and made a mock-up of my idea. I would like to keep as much stock as possible.

I would think the Chevy C series front ends would work. They have the same cab as a 3/4ton with a larger hood and stuff.

BUMP, has anyone gone forward with this project?? I had a Ram 3500 with a blown motor and the truck was considered totaled, but i kept the body and would like to put it on a Deuce frame. I would Bob the Deuce and keep the Deuce drivetrain intact. the only modifications would probably be the air intake, and relocation of the radior to fit under the Dodge hood, what do yall think??? Here is a pic I made in Paint. I would love to keep the Multi-Fuel with a newer Dodge body!!

Been done up here in the wild north.
Not a newer truck but still looks good. It is also for sale. I believe the guy is asking 16 grand for it.

Cool idea. I saw this on my way to work a few months back. Didn't get a chance to stop and look it over. But still, a neat concept. Anyone recognize it?
