Seabee Deuce Crew Cab Project

[camoyj7]

Well I got a bunch of stuff done today. I got the rear hubs flipped around,the guages back in the new rad. hose on and the passenger rear battery box on. I was glad to see the rear wheel cylinders were not leaking and the shoes looked brand new. I'm going to try and get the drive shaft made this week and run all of the new fuel so I can drive it to my friends shop to make the top.

Well I got the fuel lines and the wiring for the fuel guage/pump done today. I also got the hood back on. I picked up a set of semi air ride seats for the front and I'm going to use a bench for the rear. This winter I plan on recovering the seats that purple has to go. Now all I need is a taller garage!

Im waiting to see if someone builds one of these that articulates behind the cab to steer like a loader being as long as they are.

Does CCEquipments 4Wheel Steering count?

Those are goodyear MVT 395s on HEMTT rims but they do look a lot like humvee tires in the pic.

 

[Welder Sam]

I like the look

Mounted up the shocks and finished the rear suspension. I also got the rear drive shaft installed. It should be ready to drive next week sometime. I hope to have the paint here by the middle of the week so I can start spraying.

Where did you get your new u bolts? I am trying to remove my front axle and I have never in my life had ubolts frozen inside the mounting plate before. A 1000 lb. axle wont drop if off. I can even jack the entire front of the Deuce up off this u bolt. I didnt want to cut them not knowing if I could replace them. Thanks Jim

Had them made at Bott's in Woodstock IL. Any spring shop should be able to make them. They cost around $70.00 for all four.

I got the truck all ready to drive to my friends shop to make the top about half way there I lost all brakes. I limped it to John's shop (6x6guy) pulled the master cylinder and put in the rebuild kit. After I started to bleed the brakes the brake light switch blew out and started leaking bad. Just one of those days I guess. Maybe I'll get the top done in a few days.

There sure is a lot of CREW CABS being built this year.

 

[Welder Sam]

camoyj7; Inquiring minds want to know "How in the HE** are you going to get it in your garage with a top on it?"

 

[camoyj7]

Well I got the top done late last night and just beat the rain on my way home. It's too bad it's going rain all weekend I need to get the top in some primer.
