That is what I figured, I thought that I could cut out the back of the cab, and extend it out by 12-24'' with sheet metal and then weld and paint it all back together. I would have to take out some of the bed though. I guess I need to look in the Duce modification and hot-rod section now !! Thanks

Hey guys, I am wondering, is there much of a difference in the cab size between the A2 and A3 ? I would like to own a duce but I am a 6'7'' 340 pound guy. I was looking at some up in PA today and me sitting in the cab of an A2 was like stuffing a cat down a toilet. I am hoping the seat on an...

Since starting this thread I picked up a M116A2 / M101A2 off of Craigs List. The only bad part is the surge brake system needs looking at. the top to the master cylinder was missing along with it being dry.:roll: Hopefully the surge system can be salvaged.

This hobby is addictive, once you get started it is impossible to stop. Is A&E doing a SS intervention ?!?!?!?! ;-)

Thanks to everyone for the input. I guess the consensus is since I will be using my 1/2 ton PU for towing a loaded trailer into an area that was recently hit by a hurricane ( that is why I need some sort of off road capability.... so I can travel across roads that have all sorts of debris on...

My plan was to get a solid piece of 2'' square steal - the same as on a standard truck hitch that looks like this then get a .5 in to .75 in steel plate rectangle cut to 15'' ( my hitch is 22'' off the ground now to accommodate the 36' trailer tug height) weld it on top of the square...

Good Ideas, I am planning on using this trailer to do hurrucane security. so I will be towing down anything and everything...food, fuel, water, provisions of all kinds. I hope after one cane' I can buy a deuce to tow it. In the mean time I will have to make due, I did not know the difficulty...

I have tried to look at some other threads but I am not sure it was covered this way. I am wanting thoughts on towing a M105A2 with a 97 Dodge with a 360 V8. I tried to bid on a 101A1 but at the last minute was outbid and I am noticing that 105's go for much cheaper. I also like to have brakes...

Well if I get one I will give you a heads up - I don't have a wrench mind :cry: and will need help.

S.C.- Do you have any big green toy's ?

Are you staying somewhere in Franklin or Just driving through ?

Thanks for the invite, don't know if I will be able to make it to that one though. I hope I will be able to get some hands on experience here in Middle TN, that and I am trying to save my pennies to by something big and green to drive there ;-).

15 miles south on 65 - 20 min away

Just Joined, looking to learn about the deuce - cost of ownership, maintenance, how to work on it, exc before i buy one

I started looking on SS for info on trailers - and quickly got drawn in now I am researching for a Deuce. I live near Franklin, and have no experience with Deuces, other then they are big and loud - kind of like me :wink:. If there is anyone around Middle TN that could show me how to work on...
