Or you could put in an old vw beetle air-cooled engine, and if youre lucky, the truck might actually move a foot or two! lol I second the jet-turbine. id like to see that come to life- i think it was the early 60s/70s GM ran some tests on jet-turbine powered semis and cars- I saw it in an old...

only 8? go for 12! the bmw 750il has a 12-cylinder that puts out like crazy. Im not sure on the numbers, but I know my stepdad has one of these things and it just flat out goes- puts the ricer street racer wannabees on the highways to shame. It would take a heck of a lot of fabbing, and wiring...

from what I understand, its that its just so darn heavy, I suspect massive frame rail reinforcement, heavy-duty suspension, and an even heavier duty axle to take the weight (I think I remember someone on here a while back saying that the front axle is almost overloaded as it is with just the...

when I peered at it, the spring mounts looked pretty beefy- if i recall correctly, one of our fellow steelsoldiers members did the same thing to his truck (I think hes running 53" super-singles on one heck of a nice-looking truck)- basically welded and attached plate and bolted a block of...

Personally, I think its pretty neat; wouldnt mind owning one myself (but then again, I wouldnt mind owning any kind of running vehicle- keep breaking things lol). I saw this in person a couple of months ago- next to a stock deuce, and talked to the guy who was selling it for a minute- he said...

looks like a blast! the 3rd pic makes the truck look suuuuper long :-D

WOW thats a huge set of gears! lol ive never seen the inside of a rockwell before- cool and good luck!:beer:

would maybe one of the rear axle leaf-pack work up front for a single mono leaf running across the width of the axle? how much weight is there to support? thinking if the front axle was pushed out front another couple of feet (driveshaft issues would probably begin to develop), and supported...

no, im not exactly sure what their purpose is in that video, other than to annoy anyone who sees it. and im not sure what youre trying to say :lost:

@ mwalker: Yes! thats what im talking about- i like to look of the red and white one, but i want 6-wheel drive still lol, and a chopped up bed to haul parts and doohickeys (think hot rod shop truck). i think theres a lot of potential for the deuce, and not in the deuce-on-blazer axles kind of...

that sounds like a fantastic project! id like to keep the bed on mine, but custom-make it out of light-weight aluminum with wood bed inserts to shave off some of the impressive amount of weight. id also like to keep the multi-fuel because running any flammible liquid is one of the coolest things...

keep in mind these are the strenuous effort of about 5 min in total:mrgreen:

well, i sketched a stock deuce, and went from there. its not looking quite like what i mean (meaning it looks amazingly goofy lol), but ill keep sketching till i get it right

thanks for the support and ideas!:-D im sketching up some ideas right now, so well see how it turns out lol

i figured it would be akin to killing a deuce to a lot of people on the website, but ill see if i cant maybe draw up some sort of concept as to what im thinking about, and maybe were all just being a little argy-bargy because of some misunderstanding:-D. im an ok artist, but ive never draw...

lol well Id love to have a deuce in any form! i just thought it would be a neat concept, albeit one that would cost crazy amounts of money, and not be particularly powerful, but definitely one-of-a-kind. and as for getting the jeep stuck, i broke it beyond repair and sold it super cheap to a...

This kind of goes against almost every original intention and purpose of this truck, BUT, I got to thinking the other day (been reading too many hot rod mags), wouldnt it be pretty cool to make a total street rod out of a deuce? Im thinking lowered waay down, rear axles spread out to accommodate...

5-ton military truck w/winch $1800. - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board looks like a real fixer-upper! Im sure some of our members could have this thing totally restored within a month! whaddya think? "5-ton M52 with winch. Hydraulic brakes, Turbo multi fuel engine runs great, power steering, two...

yep! thats the one! @ grounded: well shoot, just wait a coupla years for me to scrape up the cash and youve got yourself a deal!:-D lol stll just a poor college student, and besides, most of my extra cash goes towards my bicycle hobby/obsession lol. ive got cool old 70's cruiser tandem bicycle...

the other day, i was out on my bicycle doing my 20-mile training ride loop, when i stumbled upon what appeared to be 2 deuces in a parking lot, so of course i immediately ride over to check it out (assuming they were SS members). what i saw surprised me, and after talking with the owner for a...
