Yeah, kind of hate the idea of parting with it, but if I kept every build, I'd need a yard the size of Nellis;=). Someone is going to get the most unique Deuce that I have ever seen!!That thing looks cool, I saw it on ebay. You should have sealed the floor in the back( I can see daylight from pics of under truck). How are you suppossed to get the spare tire down, it must take 3 guys . You also should have fold down seats in back
If you were going to build another I would do it on a 5ton with automatic trans and have some kind of device to lower spare tire
You make nice trucks
Excellent point on the floorboards. The film specs called for a plywood floor, but I just couldn't bring myself around to putting anything on there that would not be able to handle 10,000 lbs. We should have caulked them - or maybe I can add some spray on insulation to seal them. I'll have to give that some thought for the next one.
I also wanted to put some foam inslation in the back and some kind of wall covering for the interior, but when I decided to sell it after we were done with it, I figured that I would let the new owner finish the inside.
Good point on the spare - at almost 300 lbs, it would take 3 people to get down and 6 to get it back up. Some kind of davit on the rear is an excellent idea - kind of like they do on the M923's - now that you mention using one maybe for a future build. I have a couple of them, and that is a nice set-up on the spare now. I bet we could use it - although the height on them will be a problem. No way it can be shipped on a truck - maybe an RGN.
Great feedback - and I appreciate the high praise as well, thank you!!
