Double Deuce crew cab

[BFR]

that looks awesome. Since you obviously have the capacity to make it happen I would think hard about something to stiffen where the 2 cabs meet. I think plating from the center of the front door to the center of the reat door (I'm all about over kill)would add a lot of rigidity and would not be too visually intrusive.

something like the terrible illustration below
yellow=basic outline
blue= cutout for the vent
red= area bent at 90 degrees (just dont block the tcase pto shifter mouting holes)

nice! I have a complete flat floor in the rear half of mine, and between the cabs is about 18 inches more. a bit over kill, but thas what its all about

I think if I ever made a 4 or 6 door deuce or 5ton, Id put a cromolly cage in. Nothing to extravagant, just enough to stiffen up the cab so it doesn't creek and grown when off road. Id also mount the cab on some rubber or air ride isolators so it doesn't have to flex as much as the frame.

it is setup like that already (rubber isolators) I removed mine and it does make some funny noises during flex.

I put some extras in mine so the frame can flex under it.

looking good .seems everyone straightens out the rear doors rather than keeping the angle.i think it would be cool to keep the angle so you could have a bigger back seat maybe even run two pass side seatsor a seat from a van that turns into a bedplus it would probably be an easier mod since all you would have to do is cut the cab down the middle and make a wider tunnel.

The back is wider than the front... If you kept the angle, the extension would bend in behind the original seats.

it wouldnt bend in the doors are angled out the back is wider than the front.so the front of the back door would be wider than the back of the front doors and the back of the back doors would be even wider.you would have to angle the part that has the vents to the same angle as the angle on the doors

 

[tm america]

the back of the cab would end up being like 8ft. wide which would flow into the bed nicely

This project is looking to be freakin awesome!!

And with all this suburban deuce talk, I'm surprised my Photochop hasn't shown up yet:

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. That would blend with the bed well, but I still don't know how good it would look. Time for Photoshop...

I want one of those, I wish you could make the real deal as easy as a photoshop rendering.

Just had random idea... put two cabs back to back?

I was planning on doing something like that, I have some square tubing I was thinking about tying into the upper post, I plated it with 1/8 steel, and coming down at an angle to the floor. It did turn out alot more solid than I figured on it being, mainly because of all the bends and 1/8 plate I used. I may tie the hardtop into the structure. After I get the top on I will see how it goes.

Take lots of pic's, so when my boy (bubba_got_you) and I do the 66 burb on a duce frame and runing gear we have something to look at when we can not figure it out.

Couple more pics of the truck, Got the floor finshed and the outsides patched in. I also got the rear cab mount installed. I cut the top and rolled up a 4' piece to join the two. Hopefully I will get the top and center posts all done, and maybey I can move on to some steps and the fuel tank. Thanks Clinton

What brand of jack stands are those?

P.S. I think it needs bigger tires
