i guess the way i was thinking about it was running a section of plate on the inside of the C-channel, bolting it to hold it there while you run a couple full length beads down it to connect the frame rails as well as buzzing the actual joint.

how did you connect the frames specifically? did you run some plate down the rails and weld it as well as just welding the joint?

that is really badass! :not worthy:

well you probably don't need that much power! if you are looking to making a deuce a high performance vehicle, some 2" shafts, and some heavy duty drivelines. :grin:

yeah i knew it wouldn't have been easy or really worth it, but i had a feeling it was possible. it would really be easiest to get a 12 valve and be done with in terms of a deuce.

the guy bought the deuce for the axles and related bits, so it too the chevy axles off his pick up and set the deuce frame on the axles.

I don't know exactly what you got to do, but you can convert the 24v to use the P7100 bosch Injection pump from the twelve valve cummins.

I have seen those. I was talking more about the cummins and alison trans combo that has been on craigslist for like a year. 2000 Cummins 5.9 Diesel Engine/Allison AT

the one on craigslist?

and has 70 more horsepower and 200+ more torque! It's insane.

how close are the axle ratios between the 5-ton axle and the rear tandems?

I like the concept, but i think that the axle should be a back a little bit more so that not too much of the bed over hangs.

seeing that is almost like getting rick rolled! lol

that is true thanks for that. i think a tire makes a little bit bigger foot print than that, especially when they are aired down. to the original poster, i would think chains would be your best bet.

very true, it was a far stretch to compare it to a snow cat or any tracked vehicle, but do you agree that a lower psi can be achieved with a wider tire of the same, allowing the vehicle to not sink as much in snow?

i agree with everything that has been said here. When it comes to snow, a narrow foot print is fine if there is a good solid bottom underneath. if there isn't you will just sink. why does a snow cat have wide tracks? so that it can float on top of the snow. if there is a bottom to the snow...

that thing is sweet!

a good coat of rhino lining (or similar) on the floor would help deaden some of that noise as well as make a durable no skid surface in the cab.

that is what i thought about too. why not register it as a recreational vehicle? but online it looked like WA described a RV as a motor-home or similar.

I have read this a few times, and i think it makes the most sense. WA State Licensing: Vehicles requiring a CDL a deuce does not qualify for needing a cdl, but the 5-ton would as a combination and in gvw. sorry hammer.
