Oh my !!!! Check out this deuce and a half !!!!!!

Pretty bad ass but there is something about the front end that i dont like. Looks like its just a hair away from having scary steering or something.
 
Did you guys see the picture of the deuce next to the Blazer? That thing is massive! And really f'in cool!
 
wasn't sure where you were going with the title of this post:haha::haha:

That thing is bada$$ though!
 
Just to clarify, I was just being an a$$..... That being said it's pretty funny that you changed it:D

I definitely want one too. 60g's is a lot though!
 
There's a build thread on steelsoldiers.com. It was built by a professional shop from top to bottom. They put a ton of time and materials into that thing, pretty sweet, but beyond my means...
 
the last listing the price was $67K...

Cool build, but too rich for my blood.

No doubt, but I don't think any build justifies a truck you can buy for $5k into $60k, with some fresh paint and tires... I bet he'd get a buyer around $35k, and that's from someone with too much money, and if the old adage is correct, more money than brains, and a nickel would qualify.

That truck could be built for about $15k and be just as nice.
 
Ever priced Bostrom seats, or Firestone air springs? The seats are $1000 or more each.

The quality of the build, plus some of the parts used...I can in no way see this build duplicated for $15K. Is the guy trying to make a profit? Absolutely, and I don't have a problem with that. Don't forget he has labor costs to factor in, where you are counting on all the labor (your own) being free.

Yes, it's more than I can afford, but I can see why it is priced the way it is. This isn't a rattle can rebuild...

No doubt, but like I said. That's no $60k truck either. I get that he put a lot into it, cool, glad to see someone put what they love into a build. For $60k, that thing sure could use more power though.
 
I agree, I think the beauty of this build is that they did such a good job that most people miss most of the custom work that was done... If I remember correctly it took 2 trucks and a military trailer to make the body and the bed.
