The rim/tire combo? Are those modded original deuce wheels? Any rub on turns?

The holes along the bottom rail, indicate that this truck once served some sort of portable mess hall function?

Sweet ride - double bump!:D

where can I get one?
The metal plate is the standard behind the pintle hook two inch square trailer hitch! The plans are here on steel soldiers. The drop down hitch adapter was a find at the four wheel drive swap meet at the fair grounds! Shouldn't be to hard to find on line!

It used to be a kitchen truck with a pipe walkway on the side to get the food out of the back from what i've been told by some vets.

the hitch kit is from TM america! I also have his front hitch kit as well but its not welded up yet.

those are 395's on standard deuce rims with a tube inside a 1200 x 9 tube.

Right on - the 395s are just about the beefiest looking tires I have seen that seem to fit on the unmodified deuce wheels.

Do you get any rubbing with sharp turning of the front wheels?

How about any rubbing with aggressive articulation of the rear axles?

Do the A3 wheels fit on the A2 trucks, and are the rims wider or have a different offset?

Defiantly get rubbing on tight turns on the fronts.

Ive never rubbed in the back and i've articulated pretty good in the back.

and the a3 rims do fit on the a2s as they are both 6 bolt patterns and are the same axle. the rims are wider. not sure on offset though
