Seabee Deuce Crew Cab Project

[camoyj7]

Well I just went off the deep end and bought a Seabee Deuce for my next project. After seeing Clinton from c&c equipment's crew cab I had to have one.
I going to try and wrap up the M1009 befroe I bring it home. I plan on running 395's on Hemtt wheels. Here are some Pic's.

truck looks very nice! what engine is in it.... just an LDT? does it have any special features or just like a regular deuce?

i have the same question as wildchild is it just a regular deuce with seabee logo and lettering or does it have any special features to it? also you better take plenty of pictures during the build so the rest of us can drool over it.

I have contemplated this build,... cant wait to see the progress.
Hey Warthog nice avatar, the dump looks even better in person.

From what I understand it's just a regular deuce with seabee logo. It has the whisler LTD motor and it used to have a water tank on the back of it. I bought it through a friend of a friend and were going up tommorrow to get it ready for it's 230 mile ride home next weekend. I will get some better pic's of it when I get there.

Heres the truck when it was in the forestry service it was a seebee truck before they got it now its been saved from the gas wrench and going to china to become something useful again.

That's interesting that it doesn't look like it's CARC'd-it looks like the old olive drab. I think Brad900's truck was the same. I thought everything modern used the same CARC paint.

Got this truck in the same auction also a navy truck had the same old style canvas soft top.

Well I picked up some parts on friday for the project. I got a cab,doors,tool boxes,set of front springs and some recentered Hemmt wheels. Looking forward to getting started but it will have to wait a few weeks till I got the M1009 done.

Speaking of BRAD 900, has anybody heard from him, I have not seen him around shortly after I recovered his stuck deuce from the stream across the power line righ-a-way

Seabee trucks are always cool. Glad you gave it a good home!

 

[camoyj7]

Well it looks like we are going to get the Deuce tommorrow. Going to change the oil and all the fuel filters put in some diesel and hope to make the 240 mile drive back.

After a few small problem the Deuce made the 240 mile trip home in one piece! Thanks to Kevin (ranchhopper) and Brandon (swampzr2) for helping get it together.

There use to be the old NAVFAC-P4100 for paint and truck spec. FYI the M-35 was remove from the TOA ( new procurrment) in the early from Naval equipment. Wierd?? I guess the old ones I saw where DRMO dogs ect.. which also explain all the internationals and fords about..

Are you planning on making a hard top or some sort of carvas topped crew cab?
