Nice job.

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

Yea we made a custom shifter after that so no more hand shifts lol

Interesting grill setup! Is that thing on a school bus frame?

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

Either that or a deuce and a half, it has 5 ton axles and there HUGE

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

Probably a deuce and a half my friend has a few trucks on those axles, I don't see someone going through all the work for a school bus frame but then again people do just about everything

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

thats awesome i love it

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

Those are 5 tons, 10 lugs. Deuces are 6 lug.

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

Deuces 2.5 tons are 6 lugs, deuces 5 tons are 10 lug. so yes its a 5 ton

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

No such thing as a Deuce 5-ton. They are different vehicles.

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

When I was in the Army, We had a duece that was converted to a 5ton, same body but all new running gear, we called it a duece but it technically was a 5ton.

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

An M939 deuce is a 5 ton,M811 etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M939_Truck alot of the deuce dump trucks are 5 ton and the wreckers i call them a deuce because they are the same body style http://www.olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m929.php

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

I like it.

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

I also like it, cool rig!

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

Love the truck, the 5 ton setup is heavy, but it works. Might look into getting a bigger set of spring packs, the ones on their dont look overly substantial. Also, if you guys get serious with it, this guy http://adamsoffroadperformance.com/ makes some great 5 ton parts, and is working on getting billet parts made for 5 tons.

I have a neighbor that needs a lawn job lol

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

For now there substantial i did some tests and it goes great. does 18mph at 3000 rpm thats all the gearing it needs since its a big truck. but since its not my truck its not getting anything else done to it all the owner (my friend) wanted was it to be running so he could mud it and we fullfilled that so he will be happy when he gets back from iraq

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

That thing is AWESOME! I can't imagine what would happen is some guy in a Prius pulled up next to you in that, Hahahaha.

I wouldnt even see em, hell hed prolly drive under it

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

The term deuce is a shortened version of deuce and a half or 2.5 ton. A 5 ton is just that a 5 ton, not a deuce. A deuce is only in reference to the 2.5 ton. Glad you got the truck running for your military buddy though.

Re: Got the big truck runnin finally
 

Well it will always be called a deuce to me
