1965 Mercury Parklane Maruader Survivor
This is a 1965 Mercury Parklane Marauder I pulled out of a shed where it has sat since 1993. The car had the same owner from 1966 until 2017 when I bought it.

M35A2 Bobbed Deuce and a Half GoPro Time Lapse
มุมมอง 449K8 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a 1969 Kaiser M35A2 that I bobbed. It is the second one I've done so it went pretty smooth. I couldn't find any royalty free music that I could stand, so the time lapse portion is without sound. Time lapse interval is once every 5 seconds, or once every 10 seconds depending on the task.
M35A2 Bobbed Deuce test drive
มุมมอง 26K8 ปีที่แล้ว
10 minute or so ride through the woods and down the road in my bobbed M35A2 Deuce and a Half.
Крутая тачка
Your GoPro time lapse build video was amazing! Was it a matter of changing rims when going from duallys to the super single tires?
Yea, to run singles you have to swap to beadlock style rims
Ok
How much are you asking for the car
It’s long gone, sorry
May be a late comment but, what did you do to get that long bed to fit back on
I did another video that is time lapse that shows the entire build of the one I built after this one. Search “bobbed deuce time lapse” and it should pop up. Basically you cut the frame and suspension and remount a single axle back with a set of front axle springs.
Back in the day, your could drive a car like that down the highway at 100mph with 2 fingers on the wheel and a cigarette' in the other hand! THOSE WERE THE DAYS, WHEN CARS DEMANDED RESPECT!
Just watched you bob the deuce,AWESOME skills bro 🇬🇧👍
Ian Mangham thanks man
Awesome
That looks like a ton of fun. I'd like to have one.
Was an Army Paratrooper for 15 years and a vet of 3 wars. Drove the shit out of them in the Army. Perhaps one of the finest and most useful military trucks ever made. Been wanting to acquire and bob one for many years myself. Your vid Sir, has lit a fire under my ass now. LOL One should consider these trucks can still be found at Government auctions for low cost and even with low mileage. You can even get ones that have the multi-burn motors in them too. Then you have a monster 4x4 that will burn on any fuel. One can have a truck badder than any 50K dollar 4WD and do it on the cheap. Wanted to ask Coodawg, What trailer bed did you use ? I know there was 2 trailers. There was a M101 which was a 3/4 ton trailer. There was also the M105 which was a 1 ton trailer. I'm assuming you used the M105 as I know they were longer. An M101 would seem to short to my memory. Also on the rear leaf springs when finished. Did you use the originals and remove some leaves or swap springs ? I have heard the springs from the M105 1 ton trailer can be used. Just curious how you did it.
I would say it's just a hundred and fourteen if not 14 thousand miles
That is one of the most awesome Utes I have ever seen, you sir are a genius. You'd have none of that you can't tow that with that bullshit, well done, and I look forward to seeing your version of a 5th wheel camper to go behind it one day
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before I love the lines on that car
i found this channel from the Deuce..that was amazing job, and have to say you deserve more views and subs...this car is a rare one..and the style back then was evident..beautiful..
I'm curious, are you selling these or for your own personal use. Either way, truly a victory, well done.
This post is about your Bobbed Deuce. Kudos sir. Wanted to tell you I'm jealous. Lol. Awesome Job. Now that's what I call "A Big Boy Truck"! Cheers
Are you off roading on your personal gulf course
Could you PLEASE tell me where you got the wheel adapters to go from 6 bolt to the new style wheels you put on your "bobbed" deuce and a half? I have a 1975 Dodge D600 with the exact same bolt pattern and the only thing I can find are new 22.5 rims @ $250+ shipping! Out of my price range and would LOVE to have a set of "super singles" on the back. Thanks
Tri Pacer sure thing. eBay. They were $100 each. Worked like a champ. I used 1”x 3” bolts. This truck in this video had 6 lug combat rims. The second one I bobbed in the time lapse had the adapter.
Man i enjoyed this so much had to watch and most important LISTEN to it twice . That is one nice rig and i am happy for the ride along . Thank's
Jimmy Britt glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic job! Really enjoyed both videos. Thanks for posting
North Key House thank you, I appreciate that.
People that leave negative comments are only mad they don't have one. I'd love to have one and id cut it down too after playing with it for a while. Seems way more practical to drive on the street with six less tires
Why Bob it
terry mulkey makes it much more streetable
It's cool and you did a good job on the bob, just don't see an advantage. Guess it just comes down to your needs. I like 6 wheel drive better. Just Say'en!
Gregory Messer the only advantage is drivability, maneuverability. And overall streeability. Much more usable this way in my opinion.
Surprised you didn't put the Army markings back.....It's your own fault if you get straffed by an Air Farce Jug!
Hey you have be the comments disabled on the timelaps vid what did that bed come off of if you don't mind looks like a fun build I'm looking into getting a Hummer or a deuce any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
Alex Duke yea, I got tired of the negativity with the comments. The bed came off a M105 trailer. These are actually two different builds. It’s a fun build, but it’s heavy work. Make sure you have a way to move all the parts. Getting all the rivers out that hold the rear suspension on is tough too.
Coondawg I live on a farm and work on heavy equipment more than I'd like to admit I'm all too familiar with heavy parts that will amputate limbs if you look at them the wrong way what could possibly be said negative about this build other than cutting up an iconic workhorse it's fucking sweet
Alex Duke I hear you. Give it a go man, they are fun to drive.
What is the GVWR on a bobbed deuce?
Gregg Kemp sorry man, I don’t know what it is. Probably around 9-10k lbs
Just curious. As you know, the military classifies it's vehicles a bit funny. A deuce and a half is rated 2.5 ton's off road, it's doubled for on road use - 5 ton's. A 5 ton truck can, and will carry, 10 ton's on road, and 5 ton's off road. I bet yours would surprise you, with what it can safely carry.
You disabled comments on your newer build so I'm going to comment here. That fucker looks badass and it makes the deuce that much more useful since now you can turn a whole lot quicker since you took out a axle.
Tigglemeister thanks man. Yea I get tired of negativity.
Cars had so much style back then, now they all look the same really. I would jump on that rust quick. BTW: I saw your Bobbed Duece build. Very nice work !!!!!
Beautiful!
I love this thing! How fast will it comfortably run on the highway?
todd riley it will do 60 comfortably with those 54” tires. This is the first one I’ve built. I did a time lapse video of the second one I built and it’s on TH-cam too.
@@coondawg6168 why did you disable the comments on that video?
john cuervo cuz sometimes you gotta do that to keep the idiots from speaking lol
Damn...now thats too much fun! Great vid thanks for the post.
Where the snorkel at?
In the shop
Now I need one of this!
Looks good. Slight rust considering its age.
I have a 65 Montclair breezeway I had since 71. Bought it from the original dealer when it was traded in for a new 71 Marquis.
monarch1957 very cool
Ian Mangham thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you.
whats the shift pattern on this transmission?
Travis Buckler 4th and 5th is opposite what would be “normal.” This allowed for the shifter to be up and away from the center when at highway speeds. I’m assuming to save the passengers knees.
I'm pretty sure they call that a horseshoe pattern one of our kenworths has the 10spd horseshoe Eaton I haul to the mill with that and it messes me up for a day in and out of the trucks when we're cutting grain and I go from truck to truck.. the other two kws have a standard pattern
R 2 5 |---|---| 1 3 4
You do not go into 1st gear unless completely stopped and you do not steer hard when in 4WD
It's his truck, he can drive it how he wants
78a67h you stupid, that’s how you can slow a near 50,000lb vehicle down! What do you think truckers do to slow down?!?! And if you need to go around a corner, you kinda need to steer it and who’s to say if it was in 4wd?
A Deuce is not a Mack. You never shift a Deuce into 1st unless completely stopped. There is a placard on the shift pattern diagram telling you this. 2-5 gear on a Deuce are syncho meshed where as first gear is non-synchro.
You can you just have to double clutch
