Deuce at the House !

[Tlauden]

very sharp looking truck, those dual tanks, both diesel? or is one diesel and one a Alternative fuel?

 

[bob270win]

As it is now , just running diesel in both. The aux tank on driver side has an external pump to supply fuel to the main tank .

G177 radials, duel tanks, A/C...I agree with everybody...sweet truck A real cream puff Where'd get you get a hold of that? You got a new Deuce dealership in you neighborhood?

Tis particular beauty came out of Boyce Eqmnt in Ogden Utah.

 

[TIGERFANS2]

I gotta say........ that looks pretty d*mned nice!

Well, the guys at Boyce do nice work! Did you drive it home or did they ship it to you?

 

[bob270win]

I had it shipped down here , the cost versus the price of airfare and fuel for the drive , made it easy to pay for shipping costs !

 

[miketrock]

What year, model? Is that an M35A3 ? Probably most other guys here already know, but I don't....I'm still shopping, looking, planning......don't have one yet. very NICE looking TRUCK !!

 

[joshs1ofakindxj]

It's a very clean M35A2.

Why no fenders next to the fuel tanks? I run the same set-up on mine, but I have long fenders next to each fuel tank.

Man, that rig is high speed, low drag and Teflon coated. All you need now is a winch and lots of room to go play.

I have a pair of M817 Dump fuel tank protectors on my M818 replacing the quarter fenders, which looked out of place. It's a good idea to get some sheet metal between those tanks and singin' waffles. Don't want any punctures from road hazards.

 

[bob270win]

I gotta get some protection on the fuel tamks , Trojan doesn't make anything for it ! lol , definitely gotta shape some skins for the tanks.

 

[mobileauto2000]

That truck only needs one thing.

A Big Dent!

Then I won't be so envious.

 

[MyothersanM1]

How 'bout just some Deuce mud guards?

 

[Woodsplinter]

Bob270,

What a small world! I have pics of your a/c install that were sent to me by Bret at Boyce.
I had them send me the same kit which I am in the process of installing here in Phoenix. (trying)
Let me know how it performs!
Sweeeet deuce!

 

[Durango_USMC]

Very nice. I don't want to ask what that one cost. But Definitely a sharp looking truck. You sure it ever saw service? Cause it's in great shape for it's age.

 

[Blueduce]

I second the Deuce mudguard idea. The long flaps designed for the fuel tank are over engineered and would be perfect. You would just have to flip the one on the drivers side end for end and re-drill.

 

[Blueduce]

Found pick of fuel tank flap. Hope it helps.

Negatory on that. They are direct bolt on, regardless what side they are on, which I just found out when I added a long mud guard to my driver side tank I put on. No drilling or mods required.

Identical to the picture you posted.

 

[bob270win]

I'll see what I can round up here inucson at Jack's Govt Surplus. The a/c works fine just need to insulate the floorboard of the deuce to keep the hot air out ! I've got some ideas like Fat Mat or something resonably close to it . Any suggestions on other insulating materials ?
