After seven long months, a fabrication buddy and I have made my Pizza food truck operational.

Not the best picture in the world, I'm setting up a full marketing photoshoot later next month. I will custom build an attached ice chest with drawers where the ice chest's are currently on the ground

The Deuce really made this a hit. Everyone how commented said that the "army truck" made it look badass

My biggest obsticle was widening the base from 84" outside left tire to outside right tire to 96". This gave me about 100% more stability. G272 MSA's look awesome but did rub the bogie trunnion cap until my mod.

These tires and duals made the truck in this setting completely awesome

six.jpg

Side view from earlier in the build, we wanted the entire side to be able to open for easy access to work on larger components

Added a exhaust vent for my oven

Operational but not complete. We need to do 100's of small things but the larger things include wrapping the oven in diamond plate, air bags to the front suspension, Ducting our air conditioners

You put that across scales? Might be a tad over weight on steer and drivers, LEO might mess with ya.

The drive shaft added 13 ft. Its an entire school bus plus the short shaft from the Deuce. This thing is going to sit on a Military base for the next 20 years. Drives 3 miles per day and thats a straight shot.

When I first saw your original idea I thought to myself "here's another dreamer that will start this project and then due to costs and time will give-up and sell it for scrap" . Well you proved me wrong in a big way ! Congratulations on a job well done !!! I hope your business does well and you and your family prosper !

I own a deuce and also have a food trailer.

Do you have a four foot tall platform for your customers to stand on or do you drop the food to them?

kinda toward the middle you can see they actually added a drop down, If they don't outright serve from there then they prolly also have a tent or something to setup just outside the truck for all the Point-of-sale stuff. either way that center bit looks low enough to serve from
