Oddball deuce or?????

[ccf460]

Just bought this, and not sure if anything other than the cab is a deuce?

10 bolt wheels, not a deuce!

 

[ccf460]

Yeah, I know the front axle is not from a M35A2, but is it military?
I was hoping the front axle shots, engine shot, and trans/pto's shot might be a clue if it is a military cobble job,
or a deuce cab sitting on a civilian 6 wheel drive chassis of some type?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I didn't see anything military other than whats left of the cab.

Mabe a REO designed civi vehicle? REO designed the deuce and 5 ton so similiarities could be expected.

 

[ccf460]

I was afraid of that. Will probably harvest the windshield frame ( not seen too many like it), the repairable hard top, and a few other odds and ends, and send the rest to the great beyond.

The cab resembles a old FWD with a International cab , the front clip looks military . At minimum it's a aftermarket windshield . Post some pics of the inside of the cab.
Is it a REO or International motor ?

Flyingvan,
Have you seen one that looks like this? I would love for more of it to find a home

 

[ccf460]

porkysplace,
The doors seem to be deuce, except the angle at the rear of the door that matches the one in the front like a deuce. The dash looks like a deuce, but a little older styled? Has deuce wiper motors.

 

[ccf460]

where is the frame serial # on a deuce?

Didn't Memphis Equipment or Boyce do a windshield upgrade years ago?

 

[ccf460]

I thought I have seen that windshield frame on a deuce before. I will know more tomorrow, seller is digging out the title and registration.
I was hoping someone would recognize the engine/transmission?

 

[Jeepsinker]

Well, gas engine, so maybe an Eager Beaver with some civi parts swapped in over the years. TNJ does that windshield upgrade.

 

[JasonS]

That sure looks like an FWD with an International red diamond gas engine. The cab isn't though.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Nope, not an original gasser "eager beaver".

I want some pics of the green truck behind it with what looks like a crane in the bed! If you had time to snap a few pics I would appreciate it.

That's a Memphis windshield.

 

[ccf460]

I agree on the windshield.
I googled international red diamond engine...that's it! Anyone know if they were ever used in a MV?

 

[ccf460]

Gimpy,
The truck behind it is a mack powered 5 ton with some kind of tracked packer sitting in the back.
On the other side of that is a M46A2

 

[ccf460]

After being pointed down the right direction.....
I think it might be a deuce cab/front clip sitting on a 50's~60's international 6 wheel drive chassis? What say you?
The title may tell the story if it says IH

 

[Jeepsinker]

They sure did a good job mounting that cab cleanly if that is the case.opcorn:
