That is a beautiful truck. I hope to build one like it but with a little longer box. Marine I work with wants yours just the way it is. SWEET truck. Oh yeh, congrats on the new kid heading your way, I got my first coming in december.

Thanks bro, I can't drive it down here in AL without 30 rednecks stopping to ask me where I bought it. Imagine my pride when I tell them I built the darn thing!

Maybe I missed it in this thread but how did you do the larger cab?

 

[2027Deuce]

Nice job!! That is the best bobbed truck I've seen! If you can get a car seat in the back, you will have an awesome grocery getter.

Nice.

Nice TDI too, you on TDIclub.com?

I sold my bobbed duece and kick myself everytime I see another. So I bought a M35A3 to shorten. Trust me if you sell it you will just spend more money next time on a different project. Just keep going with this one ,tweeking and tinkering more and more untill the military wants it back lol.

Search "quadcab" or you can read this thread.

Edit: Search "crewcab" produces some good threads also

Her car is bone stock, but I wouldn't mind getting one to bomb myself actually.

I'm actually thinking about doing the same thing to be honest...either that or a 5 ton...

would have looked so much nicer if you kept the 6x6

To each his own. I'd love to do a crew cab 6x6, tho.

Chinookpilot77, would you mind showing us some pictures of the interior? Give us an idea of how much space is there, what the seats are like, how much leg room is in the back, etc?

 

[Chinookpilot77]

Looks...maybe

BUT, this project, despite how it looks, wasn't made for looks. I originally started this project as a hunting truck...and 4 wheels in the woods is better AND easier to deal with than 6.

Besides, I prefer it this way, so there!

 

[Chinookpilot77]

I'll see what I can do about interior pictures.

 

[TexAndy]

Or skip the woods thing altogether and just make a Deuce-uburban.

Make the cab extend all the way to rear of the frame. That'll give you room for a mini-bar and Corinthian leather couch.

This will be your secret weapon when the wife pesters you for a family van.
