Seabee Deuce Crew Cab Project

[Billy Bobbed]

I drilled the holes threw the bed floor into the frame,6 of them.C&C does the same thing.Reuse the wood spacer from the orginal deuce bed,and cut to length.Make sure you put the spacer in the same way it came off.

**** mine didn't have a bed when I got it. I'll have to search around for those wood spacers. Thanks

I think it's just 3/4 thick white oak

Nice build can't wait to see how this one turns out

 

[camoyj7]

I rebuit the driver side door latches mounted the fenders & hood sides and got the driver side tool box on. I'm already sick of drilling holes in the frame and I just got started.

LOOKIN' GOOD!!!
Yes, definitely WHITE oak 3/4 " thick. Red oak rots easily; white oak does not

I got a 3 1/2" 90 to repair my J pipe and all I did was cut the top off and use the bottom to car off the one rust hole. It should be good for a few more years. now I'm getting ready to chop out the rear suspension. I hope to have it done by next week.

Thats a thing of beauty. Good Job!

 

[camoyj7]

Well I got the old suspension out today and what a pain in the a$$ that was! I don't know what was worse the rivets that won't let go or dragging the axle and suspension out of the garage by myself. Good news is it doesn't look like I'm going to have to move the rear axle!

 

[earnie]

im watching this build thanks for the tutorial

 

[camoyj7]

Got the rear springs bolted up and the axle mounted today. I still have to put on the shock bracket on the frame and install the shocks. Once I get the drive shaft made it will be almost ready to drive to my friends shop to build the top.

Looks like you took my suggestion and had botts make you a new set of U-bolts.

 

[BikerBi11]

Nice. It always amazes me how talented people can make the coolest stuff.

Thanks for the awesome info! Thinking of using an m36 chassis and a 109 box for mine.. i just hate the thought of not having a bed.. maybe a 109 frame and box w/tandems as a trailer???

 

[TJP]

If I did another one I would use a m36 to build a crew cab with the full bed!

 

[camoyj7]

I got the fuel tanks remounted under the bed on both sides today. Now I need to run new fuel lines to both tanks. Tomorrow I'll get the other battery box mounted up. I still need to flip the rear hubs I just mounted the tire to see if had any problems with the fuel tanks.

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.
