The wheelbase is less than a school bus and my turning radius is less than desirable. I didn't take into account that the Deuce doesn't turn as sharp as a school bus. This truck will likely never leave Fort Polk so not much city driving planned.
The reason for moving the bogie back was to allow space for the drop down and storage. The pic is difficult to make out but I am dealing with 3 different heights or levels if you will. (1st level) The customer will walk up at street level and place their order on the. (2nd Level) The waiter...

I retired from the Army a few months ago and am converting a Deuce into a food truck. I know, crazy! My auction M35a3 arrived last week and the repairs have began. It is running, sounds good, and has lots of rust spots to repair.
