Another way to Bob a Deuce!

[asgtoolman]

I'm not in the market for another bobbed deuce; but I do like the look of bobbed with duallies with shortened stock bed. I'm a 100% OD green man--no camo, no desert sand. THE WAY THEY ALL USED TO BE!!!

?

Bobbed 5 ton?

i have a m923 with the 8.3 6cta wanna help me out?

 

[DJDD]

I hope you're still in business when I get back stateside next year! Been wanting a stock M35 but the look of the bobber is just too inviting! One idea I do have is a crew cab bobber, might have to sketch up some plans and get them to you when it gets close to time for me to come home.

We have been catching up on alot of projects around the shop--- but we do have a bobber going-- not sold yet--
We have the bed off and the susp cut out so far. Not 100% how this one will be outfitted-- will decide as we go! Maybe dualled 11.00s....prolly tan paint...

Painted the building this week-- (same paint that we use on the trucks! LOL)

Well I building a M109A3 into Bober Ext Cab.
I did not want crew cab.
I also building Pickup Bed for it air ride rear axle 4 wheel Disk brake system Two many thing to list. I may also up date engine to Cummins 5.9l with allison Mt 545 4 speed. It will depend on the engine & Trans power to ground when on dyno if it come up short it will be gone.

Here is my take on some of the issues so far-

Although I havent seen a problem with axle wrap, this sounds like a good idea--- I will look at this idea.

How would this work?? Is this something I should be concerned about when I put my deuce over m105 springs + 3" blocks? I know what axle wrap is, just not sure how the torque rod would be 'mounted up'.

... I know what axle wrap is, just not sure how the torque rod would be 'mounted up'.

app', check out pictures of my lower link bars in my 'Build Pics' albums - this is the most simple, yet most effective way at controlling axle wrap without limiting articulation or ride quality.

you can dump the clutch in my truck and you will get zero axle wrap. ... and i'm running 6" lift blocks.

Hey Hundy,
Have you ever installed or plan on installing an Air Ride for the Rear or front Suspension on your vehicles? Would this be an option if requested?

 

[100dollarman]

I have not done it yet...... but it is possible---

 

[100dollarman]

Next Bobber is coming along---- slowly, but surely! It will get a shortened deuce bed and tan paint. Still havent decided 100% on which tire/whl combo it will get...

 

[100dollarman]

Got the bed cut and tacked back together. Full weld and mount tomorrow--

Waiting for Driveshaft to get done-- then paint and wheels/tires--!

 

[100dollarman]

Got a nice new coat of tan today, and a new tan soft top---- wheels and tires on Monday! (I meant to install them today, but ran outta time) Going with 14.00-20 Goodyears on stock wheels-
