extra axle
I would recommend doing it to a M36A2 with the 17' bed and extra long wheel base. You could put the extra axle in front of the others. If it was me I would just use the front spring kit off of another truck like what we do with bobbed trucks.
I sell 2 1/2 ton rears for $250 and...
I am north of Atlanta on I-75 in Ringgold, GA (near Chattanooga). I have numerous trailers we could pull a handle from. Let me know if you are coming through here.

I like it :-D
I too think they did a great job with the part that hangs over the cab. I wish it could sit lower, but understand the frame issues.
I am wanting to do something like this and make it amphibious. I want a DUKW, but can't find or afford one.
Any ideas?

The bobcat itself weighs 4810#. It has a backhoe attachment on it. I am guessing it weighs around 1500#. Then there is the little trailer it is still sitting on. I am guessing it weighs around 2000#.
So total weight should be around 8500#. I would guess that the little trailer is around...
Thanks, but I think my stuff is ok. They hauled it to a local Ford dealership in their fenced in lot. I just left it at 9pm Saturday night. I am sure it will be okay there for a while until I can get it retrieved.

It is at a Ford dealership in El Paso, IL.
I didn't really tell the whole story. There was a big bump in the road, the axle sheared off at the shackle mount, the tire leaped into the air and hit a vehicle in the opposite lane straight in the windshield. It collapsed their windshield and...
I just bought a Bobcat with trailer up in IL. On the way home, the axle broke on it and I had to leave it and come on home.
Is there anyone who can pick it up on a bigger trailer and bring it down to me?

Kevin owns Coosa Valley 4WD and uses military stuff to build monster trucks. They are very capable of custom work. He is a good guy.
Last time I talked to him the Deuce was not for sale. I have sold him some stuff before and acutally have a trailer load of stuff here now for him.

I have a couple of 5 ton PTO's available and also Deuce beds. I am in Georgia, so the bed is probably out of the question, but I could ship the PTO.

jrou111,
In order to use a towbar you have to have a good running truck. The way your luck has been going lately I think you need a wrecker, not a towbar.:wink:

Captain,
I am not in a rush. You could get a gander at those M817 dumps you almost bought.

I have a guy wanting to buy some axles from me in Ringgold, GA which is north of Atlanta and near Chattanooga. Let me know if you might be travelling this route and can help him with delivery.

I bought a towbar from a member in Coconut Creek, FL 33066 and need to get it home to me in Ringgold, GA. I am just 1-2 miles off of I-75 about 1 1/2-2 hours north of Atlanta and near Chattanooga, TN.
Let me know if anyone is traveling this route.
Derek Taylor
I have three M817 dumps that I have parted out. I can supply you with everything you need to convert your truck into a dump or you could get an entire truck and fix it up yourself.
