lift gate on a deuce?

[maddawg308]

Has anyone here ever put a lift gate on the back end of a deuce? I've seen them on M820 vans, but not on a deuce. The under-frame stuff on a standard -35 might prevent it, but perhaps on a M36A2?

I've thought about it, with the kind that doesn't fold up underneath but rather stays flipped up when not in use. I think that could be doable.

A guy I know had an old M109 gasser with the flipper type lift gate installed by the first civilian owner.

Over at Jack's Surplus I saw an Expansible with a lift gate. I think the deuce frame rails are the same width as the 5-ton, just taller.

With as high as the deuce bed is, a lift gate is a might fine idea. I think someone here has had one on a 5 ton, but never seen one on a deuce.

dc3coyote had 2 M35A2s that he bought at McDill that had lift gates.

One just went on GL in San Antonio last week.

Thanks for reminding me Kenny, I have missed that truck every day since I got rid of it. I think when I get home I will track the new owner down and buy it back from him. That liftgate closed hard enough to throw my GP med halfway across the bed, and launch me all the way to the front of the bed.

Auction is over, so here are a couple of pictures. Came from the GL site, not the best for detail, but worth looking at.
It was an Air Force truck.

Wow, now that is a lift gate worthy of the deuce.

Streetbike depot had a lift gate truck at one time too from GL.

I have seen a few of these and all were on former Air Force trucks.

Beat me to the punch. I checked that one out in person just because...

What's the lift capacity on that?

 

[dc3coyote]

I believe mine was at least two tons. It picked up my 712 Pinzgauer without any problems what so ever. Probabally closer to three tons.

I had wanted to check out the one at Ft Sam just to see how they had done the hydraulics but never made it down there.
