Right now I am geographically separated from the deuce. My ride is sitting in the Panama City Beach area, while I am working in D.C. .
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
This is what it takes to get it close, had to cut the center member down to the plate, left the legs. Cut the notch to clear the parking brake arm. The bed is 2" from the back of the cab. It is close at the cab mount. I love the clean look at the rear of the frame, no bumperits, everything is right there. The tail gate hangs straight down and clears.Steve, that is exactly the look I would be going for next month when I get mine started. I'm not so talented so USMCtopgun is going to be doing the work with a friend. I like it.
You mentioned getting the bed real close to the back of the cab twice now. I want mine that way as well. I envision 1" spacing as well, like a pickup. Others had concerns about flexing. I can't see it as being an issue with that bed cut off and weight reduction, but I'm no genious, and cannot see all things so, what specifically were your concerns or the issues in making it happen. What were the problems. Did I miss something there?
I will be driving it but i have much more to do, changes those fenders on the bed, i need a hard top, install AC and paint.Excellent work Steve! Paint soon?
Here is a pic of that. Some other pics too.Your tailgate shot inspires me to lower my hitch and drop my bumperits too. I am currentlly unable to hang my tailgate straight down.
From my A3 i have 3 complete tire ( one of them is new) and wheels leftover and 4 tires. Someone I know left 2 ( A3) compete tires and wheels and another rim laying around here.I like the look of the a3 wheels i think im going to look for a set for mine! Nice job truck looks great! A lot of guys dont like the look of a A3 but i do!
