On the hood do a more sedate cowl induction style raised section ( but less racy ) instead of just welding in parts to clear what hits . On the white tractor you got a couple of shots how they did the grill and radiator mounts ? I wanna redo my bridge truck where they swapped in the detroit .
Cheap tires ,free from county ( they put on new ones ) pics .We couldn't find any either . I wondered if the center in the rear wheels could be taken out and turned around to almost center it up to run singles ? Only two of the originals were any good so they got put on the front .
A ton of people are gonna watch this thread including me ! It's gonna be a bad mutha ! I'm just curious how the drivetrain will tolerate the extra power .
Thanks , it runs and drives great .Only 8,500 miles on it , the forestry guys said the tank the FD had on it wasn't big enough to make it useful . So it sat most of the time . No bondo , rust on back of cab where something rubbed off paint , no holes though .
I was gonna use the chassis for one truck and the body for another , but it ran and drove so nice I hated to take it apart . It'll do 62 mph ! I did find a bridgetruck for parts but high priced ! I'm hoping to bring him down too an affordable amount ( low budget ) . The parts truck has a nice...

I was gonna cut this up but it runs and drives too good . Not to metion the clean body other than the civy grill added on to help the 671 detroit fit in it .So I painted it green till I figure out what to do . Maybe make a bed and just play with it . I might even take it to the rally ! What do...
RE: SMLS
Looks cool !!! I run 50 lbs in my 16x20's on the five ton , you might run even less . I bet you never thought how just changing tires could make such a drastic difference huh ? It has an atitude now !
It really all boils down to what you prefer , I drive a semi so my preference is to something larger . I've driven deuces and though they are neat little trucks , I prefer bigger . Now people that are used to pickups think deuces are huge , try to ride or drive both and then make an educated...
Remember to drive it you'll have to take side roads it wont do 40 mph ! It will also need the outer duals taken off and the mirrors folded in because it's over width .
