Side by side bobbed dueces

[dirtyfingernails]

Went over to Allan's this afternoon to see his new truck. Very nice!! I hope he doesn't mind a side by side comparison with my truck. Pictures just don't do it justice--it is TALL!

Gee, no tire in the spare mount!

That is a nifty grocery getter.

 

[sweetk30]

a regular old duece is big. then bob it its still big and cool. but what 55cameo has done is just sweet.

its got me hooked on getting one and do in it up

 

[55Cameo]

There is a spare in the spare tire holder. It may only be a 11.00 R 20 but it is there.
And as far a 'street legal', it does have a tag and insurance as of today.(Not that it makes it totally legal but who's counting)

Too low to the ground. Gotta jack it up so high that a Fiero can drive under it without a problem!

What size tires are on the smaller truck?

 

[55Cameo]

Those are 11.00 R20 michelin xl's.

With the "Big" one closer to the camera and the other one farther away there looks like a real difference in size. Side by side is there that much difference? How does the ride and handling compare? Mileage and power? They both look great! I have followed both of your projects on the site. For the record, the deuce which gets my nails dirty, will look like the smaller one soon.

 

[55Cameo]

I don't know about power and handleing comparison because we haven't driven each others yet. Mine had the clutch out the other day when he was over here. As for power, I don't really notice much difference after the Bob than before. I'm guessing that I took off roughly 2000lbs overall, but added the taller and heavier tires. It's about even, maybe a little sacrifice to the power gods. I'll know more after the run down to the rally with the new clutch that isn't slipping. Oh, and here is another size comparison.

Wow, what a difference! The Deuce even with 900x20's is not a little truck.

 

[tatra813]

I would relocate the fuel tank and spare tire into the bed and the truck would look that much taller!!

 

[Big Mike's Motor Pool]

it must be a little hard to get into with the step being over 30" tall

 

[wadereg]

Both are really nice trucks, personally i like the samller one because it is legal in VA. If i lived in NC (no lift law) thats what i would have...oh, if i had money too.

Awww....look the little ones got a friend.

"no lift law" ?

 

[mhodges]

hey wade, been lifting trucks of all sorts in va- just on the other side of the jrb from ya- if it's registered as a weighted truck (key here is that it must meet gvw requirements- read that as 1ton and up) and you have no problems. give me a pm sometime and we can get together and drive the deuces sometime.

 

[CliffW]

they look good.
