    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    I dont have any updates life has been busy with a new house remodel for the lady. I plan on a new building spring of 2022 which should accommodate some projects i really want to get going on.

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    Thanks Rusty. I am really looking forward to starting a project like this so i have a more comfortable driver as i plan on using it once a month to camp at a rocket launch which is about 110 miles away. The bus drive train answers so many short comings and things that are benifits to the 6x6...

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    Andy & Rusty thanks for that info. Is it better than to use a bus that has Hyrdo brakes. I did find a few some had manaul trannys as well. I think one pic looked like a hydro boost set up but i might be wrong on that. Whats the best way to integrate upgrading the brakes. Tks Larry

I never messed that stuff on bus...

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    Hi Guys. Thanks for the replys. I was sort of thinking of using the lenght of bus frame inplace of the deuce frame. so you would have to mount the transfercase, axles and body. I read that thread link and found it interesting. I didnt realize it sounds like the deuce frame is more flexable. I...

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    I have been following many of the mods to benifit the deuce on many threads. I found a 98 bus with a DT466 manual tranny and hydraulic brakes. I am wondering what the thoughts are of actually using the chassis frame and maybe the firewall portion that contains the pedals and steering support...
