VERY cool, Rob!

What are your plans for this one?

You've definitely set the bar REAL high with your Bobbed M35!

Sweet! All you need is your TWIC card and you can come down here to the port and haul 20' containers . . .

Sweet! Did you make that tractor? I want to create something similiar, converting a standard M35A2 cargo to a tractor and I have a M818 fifth wheel plate lined up from pctrans. I just need to figure out how to mount that fifth wheel on the frame of the deuce.

Are you doing the quarter fenders and the air lines?

 

[gimpyrobb]

My only worry is you have the spare tire rack backwards. Is there a reason you did that? Swapping tires to fix a flat may put you in harm's way with it like that.

 

[robr]

yes I am going to do quarter fenders and the air lines

 

[hndrsonj]

The M48 has the spare tire on the drivers side. It is totally opposite of the dumps. I had to modify the dump brackets ALOT to make mine work.

Saturn Surplus has inexpensive quarter fenders. Check out MACCUS's M48A2 build thread.
