    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    Yes. Keep it hydraulic. I planned on using mine as a "retrieval" vehicle. I have had several "experiences" trying to retrieve a vehicle out of state where it was in a bog or big open "muddy" field. Since it was out of state I did not have all my equipment at hand and had to use what I brought...

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    I would keep the master cylinder the bus came with and just add the Deuce's "Air-Packs" to boost the brake pressure. Then you could use the stock wheel cylinders on the Rockwell Axles. Basically all your using from the Deuce is the transfer-case, the axles and the brake "Air Packs" . The rest is...

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    I would use the Deuces power boosters so the master cylinder on the bus would work fine. The engine axle clearance might present a little difficulty, but a little torch work and a hammer should help out there ! Or just cut and weld until it fits.

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    I was going to use 11.00X20 tires and keep the deuce transfer-case. Though I do have one of the MRAP transfer-cases. I might try and squeeze it in. The year of bus would depend on the DT466 engine. I prefer a "non" ECM (electric control module) engine. Much simpler to install. No need for the...

    bus chassis frame under a Deuce

    Well you hit on a idea that I have had for several years now. Sadly I had my bus towed to the scrap yard this last summer, but I'm looking at getting a newer one with the DT466 engine with an Allison behind it. Most bus frames are 34" wide and made from extremely strong steel to meet federal...
