Hi guys,
I thought I would share some pics of my deuce after finishing some modifications to her.
She is a 1966 M35a2 with a White LDT-465 engine and C turbo. I bought her last summer.
Mods done so far:
As you can see, there is still a lot to be done.
By the way, thank you to those who have pioneered many of the mods listed above. It has saved or will save me a great deal of time not having to reinvent the wheel.

Mods done so far:
- Anco wiper upgrade
- Battery relocation to engine compartment (I thought it was a good idea at the time.)
- Bobbed (shortened frame by 3 feet and pushed single axle back 16")
- Custom rear bumper
- MRAP adapted rims with 14.00x20 NATO tread tires and flipped rear hubs
- Fabricate new bed using walls of the old bed and add fenders (See 3d model less the fenders.)
- Fabricate civy style hitch
- Relocate gas tank (still going back and forth on this one)
- Extend cab back 36" (or go quad cab)
- Relocate exhaust to behind the cab (Dare I say add a muffler? It is screaming loud.)
- Turn up fuel and add guages (For fun. The fuel may already be up. It has plenty of power.)
- Add power steering (I am really going back and forth on all three types.)
- Custom interior and insulation (Not sure on front seats but rear will likely be 2001-2006 Yukon/Tahoe 3rd row.)
- Custom soft top for easy removal during summer months.
- Paint (Desert Tan and flat black)
As you can see, there is still a lot to be done.
