Anyone here ever take a deuce cab and put it on a commercial truck?

[Domodude17]

I know a lot of people do a lot of things to improve the performance of their deuce. Engine, drivetrain, brakes, etc. I know there are probably some people who are simply interested in the cosmetics of deuce. Has anyone ever taken the cab and bodypanels off a deuce and put them on a commercially available truck, so they have a regular truck that simply looks somewhat like a deuce?

I don't plan on doing this, I just feel like it could save some people a lot of money

BBQROD sorta did. He used a deuce cab and bed on a school bus chassis.

Neat! How did it turn out? Is there a build thread?

Check out the media thread for the 2014 SSGR and you can see it. When it gets painted it will be cool and yes, he did a build thread on it.

The only question I would have is why would you want to lose all the creature comforts of a civy cab and replace it with the spartan deuce cab. If I had to drive an MV every day I would consider putting a civy cab on it.

Its mostly the cosmetics. If you could replace the body panels with the deuces it could be interesting. Although that would probably be quite a job, probably moreso than putting the whole cab on

Depends on the creature comforts. Most of the dump trucks and medium duty flatbeds I've driven were not much more luxurious than a deuce.
