Oh, I still have that Braden winch and also a 12 foot plow I'd like to put on some day, along with all of the requisite hydraulics. But, no rush!

I just found this post. Flat Black, if you're still on here, here's the answer! I built the truck. It is a hoot to drive, and scoots. M35A2 cab M809 sheetmetal fore of the cab, sourced from a member here. Also, airfilter and grille. C8000 Ford frame Ross power steering 70's Ford F600 rear...

I'll definitely put together a flickr account, and I'll post the address when I get started, which will be after ski season here in Colorado. :thumbsup:

Ok guys, back to the drawing board. Found another platform (c8000 cabover truck) with the 8.3 already in it, and air brakes. I'll put my 13 speed and a military tcase behind it. Military 5 ton Cap. Axles will be 5 ton units (single screw rear), converted to S-cam brakes (already have the...

In reviewing how much time is available.... I think now that my play will be as follows: Reutilize my existing truck. Brakes: Juice brakes. Still air over hydraulic, split the circuit. Option 1: Maybe use only air - maybe use the stock M/C for the front, and then put an additional airpack...

Interesting - I wasn't sure if the airshift was only on the 920/930 series - guess so. Thanks for the heads up. I'll learn more about what the current options are tonight, and go from there. That said, I am pretty confident that the 8.3, this 13 speed tranny I have, and 5 ton mil axles are...

Travis and TM america - Thanks so much for your insight and feedback. I like the cummins motors and I'm pretty enthusiastic about the project. I think I've found my next project, and the base is 5 ton. As much as I like the deuce platform, there's a lot more preferences for the 5 ton platform...

Title says it all. The 3208T deuce has been fun but I'm looking to build a truck with more power. The hills in Colorado are sizeable enough to make 500-600 ft lbs in this truck seem like a mouse motor. My truck would be a screaming flatland truck but unfortunately I've learned (the hard way)...
