why go through the trouble of grafting on dually fenders if they're gonna be chopped and not have the wheels in the wells...?
too much ridiculousness and overkill for my blood...
I feel sorry for that poor 350 turning 6 wheels though haha

the dually fenders are probably a legal issue(street legal), w/6.71 gears the 350 is not in such a bind. i wonder if the rear axle is a live axle, w/ those deuce & 1/2 axles it has a rear output don't they? so all you have to do is run a d-shaft from the 1st axle to the rear axle? how does that d-shaft act when the rear axles are articulated differently?

why take out the 6.0 diesel and replace it with a 350? Should have left it military style. But I kinda dig it . . .

ok, i just looked at the pics & i see the axles have a rear output, i still wonder if the rear axle is driven...IMO, that thing is fugly! those headlights are hideous!

im almost always a fan of blessed excess...... but only when its done right. Custom fender flairs on a long bed pickup would have made far more sense here. The rear axle sticking out just seems more like an after thought than a design feature, even if it does give great departure angle. and god those headlights...... bad choice bad choice.

why not just buy an m35a2? they are not expensive.
It's been on Ebay before.
The one thing I'm curious about is the frame and how the springs for the rears are mounted to it.

I wonder if he figured into the $18k cost the amount of blow he had to do to make that seem like a good idea

yea, i wondered about the frame myself, seems like a body swap onto the correct frame for those axles would have been a better choice here, & they should have left the headlights alone, stock looked way better!

I was confused by the camo on the INTERIOR door panels, U.S.M.C.

Uh, it's turning 10 wheels there, Steveo.
He's been trying to sell that thing for a while now. It's near my house, but I haven't gone to look.

The rears look to be the stock tandem axle inverted leaf on a trunnion setup from the deuce. The whole rear suspension looks to be straight off the deuce truck

grafted in a deuce rear frame section is my guess.
i am not interested so much in how but rather why.

How many decent trucks could he have built for 18K. It looks like some lame ass 70's sci/fi truck.
