@DudesWithWrenches should you lift your truck or should you just commit to a real truck.. This is all for fun hope you enjoyed and got a good laugh #dwwrenches #trucks
To be. Honest we bought a couple of these to use in oilsands operations in northern Alberta. They carry 2 slip tanks, that's it. They are a complete and sad joke. Gutless and break all the time. Zero insulation and awkward to use. Need better engines and transferases.
I knew a guy who had one about 20 years ago. Ran into him about 5 years ago and he still has it and it still does the work he bought it for. It was his stump puller. This was before stump grinding was big.
We had one similer it was a k20 with a dually i think and we took off the bed used it for pullin stumps my uncles would always steal it from each other cause it had a tuned up 454 in it
Add a Bendix air dryer and change the filter about once a year. When you add the air dryer plumb in a bypass cause when the dryer gives out it will dump all the air out of the system. And stuck you will be. Oh they wait till the most inopportune time to break.
Absolutely love this one nothing beat the grass roots tech of trucks like this. We never see these here in Australia but it’s something I’ve always dreamed of owning.
I prefer them in their original 6x6 configuration, this one has been "bobbed" I want one to make an R.V. from hell, or I believe you call them caravans.
@@joetuktyyuktuk8635 caravans aren’t RVs you tow caravans. There are those of us here in Straya who call caravans overpriced and oversized shit-twas. I’ve lived a large part of my life in the outback and rural areas so caravans aren’t my thing. Towing you human waste around the countryside for weeks on end, being the scourge of other road users and shitting 5feet from where you eat and sleep isn’t my idea of a holiday now in my senior years.
@@davegoldspink5354I'm Canadian so I'd call it an R.V. or Recreational Vehicle. I'm a welder fabricator, would want it for prospecting my gold claims. I would make it with a slide out on each side and heavy duty leveling legs, and make it so it so the truck can drive out from underneath, so the truck can be used and driven around after the site is set up. 🙂
My uncle used to have one when i was younger, I used to love just riding around in it. I wouldn't hesitate to daily this, idk about long commutes but I would drive it daily around town and off-road. It's a thing of beauty!
I use the steering axles in tube-chassis off-rod builds. The aftermarket has tons of upgrades available for them including 8-lug hub conversions, driveline brake kits and 2"-47 spline gun-drilled axle shafts. Good times.
@@springer383 most guys weld new center sections into modified HUMVEE bead-lock wheels to match the oddball (and ginormous) 6 X 8-3/4" bolt circle on the 2-1/2 ton hub. Lots of companies offer these weld-in center sections, Trail Worthy Fab being a good one. I typically convert the extremely heavy stock hubs to a common 8 X 6-1/2" pattern by way of a Super-8 hub kit from a company called Overson Engineering. Pricy but worth it.
I see the national guard driving these things in convoys on the interstate. They always look very uncomfortable and freezing their butts off...No heat?
I would be proud to drive that beast daily and everywhere I want or need to go. The plus side is I Hunt, Fish , go camping skiing and off reading as much as I can. This is the perfect truck for me.
As a retired CAT&CUMMINGS knuckle buster l have to laugh at these arm chair EXPERTS! I had the opportunity to attend BENDIX WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE SEMINAR and bleeding the air tanks of condensation, addition of air are all beneficial. But PMs ( PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ) is the real deal.
Gonna spend that kind of money, get a 5 ton. 5 tons have power steering, air brakes, and you can get a good AC kit for them. Or get an LMTV. Cabover means you have great visibility and it's already a 2 axle truck, with all the upgrades you'd need for a Duece.
@@MyS10Rocks and if I did find one with a Mack engine the first thing would be to remove the gears in the front wheel drive differential and put some higher gear d rears in it to at least do 65
One of my best friends bought one of those. I gave him hell about it for a long time. Then he used it to help rescue people from their flooded homes after a hurricane. I stopped giving him hell about it after that.
I always figure it depends on what you're going to do with it also. I have a 2016 Sierra 1500 that does mostly pavement, snow and dirt roads in the mountains. A 2.5 inch lift with 285s work for me on a half ton. The heavier the drive line the more lift it can handle. Three quarter or one ton would be good for more than 4 inches of lift. Just my opinion. I've seen u joints go bad and drive shafts snap.
@@bradleyphillips204That's cause your truck is retarded with square wheel wells and needs damn near 8 inches of lift to fit a 35 properly when Ford and Ram can fit the same tire with a 2 inch level kit without rubbing lol
I like the deuce and a half and they're very practical for big jobs and rough terrain. I went the other direction and got a Daihatsu Hijet 4WD mini truck and it's awesome. Punches well above its weight class, easy to maintain, and it gets 31 MPG.
I’ve got the next step up from this, the 5 ton, they’re sick, my neighbor has 4 of these 6X6’s. Slow as dirt but if you find an old one that’s easy to work on but modern enough to comfortably do 45-mph you’re totally golden.
i actually considered this about 30 years ago. these things are bad assed! i was still national guard, and worked out how to get former military vehicles pretty easy.
I bet this truck can go places others can’t, if memory serves me correctly, it has lockers front, back and the transfer case splits it 50/50 all the time, and it does have some serious ground clearance and tough underpinnings too. However, the mpg is in the tank to be sure maybe 3-4 per gallon?
By the way, respect would be from those who drove one because… no power steering, power brakes, and a stick. Also it weighs over 5000 pounds. Still would buy one to retrofit.
Honestly, I have wanted a deuce-and-a-half for several years. It's just finding one in decent enough shape for a good price in my area. The main attraction for me are the A1 and A2 with the multi-fuel engines.
there is a place and use for everything, if you need to tow equipment, or drive extreme terrain, this should work, if you need a show piece that can handle some terrain, get a Suzuki X90
I’m probably going to lift my 1996 c1500 Chevy I think they look amazing when lifted I would want to lower but i think it makes more sense to do it on a single cab since I have a 2 door crew cab (forgot the name)
@@benztech2262 actually I do. As a ford guy I doubt you would understand but he has a 2wd which would serve better as a street truck instead of an imposter as a lifted off road truck that would get stuck in a mud puddle.
I drove a duce 6x6 that had been converted for the local fire department for brush fires ...35 mph ..up hill, down hill or on the flat😂😂😂 Actually took it snorkeling once ..that was a hoot👍
I have a lifted 84 GMC K2500 and I take it everywhere wheeling, she isn't a Mall Princess. Not all lift trucks drive to target and back. Some of us lifted our trucks for ground clearance when off-road.
I never understood their need to put final drive gears in every wheeled vehicle they spec’d out that gave them top speeds of 50mph or less…..even the M915 6x4 line haul tractors that never leave pavement were screaming at 60mph and 70 was the end of the world
@@1SqueakyWheel In theory that makes sense, it seems like somebody just always drops the ball when it comes to speccing engines in the trucks they’ve built or upgraded to A(x) status since the 80’s…..the 3116 CAT is a disaster of an engine after they get some hard miles on them, they’ve gone to electronic engines on the haul trucks, many replacing mechanical 8V92 detroits with C15 caterpillars which while decent are REAL expensive to repair and have a ton of different variants from year to year in the same engine series. It seems like they just pick what they want and try it out and if it doesn’t work then they just keep building them until they come up with something marginally better. Their insistence on sticking with 24 volt electrical systems on everything also doesn’t make much sense to me when in todays day and age battery technology and gear reduction high torque starters mean a 12 volt system can be designed to start and run most anything reliably and aside from some military applications is the standard for automobiles and trucks world wide.
@Bhartrampf We got all the Army's hand me down junk. When I was in Iraq the Army was cruising around in brand new up-armored vehicles with A/C while we were welding scrap metal to the exterior and putting sandbags on the floorboards. And A/C? Forget about it.
I love how women say that men who drive lifted trucks are compensating for something, yeah compensating for our childhood when we used to play with monster trucks as toys and now we are hard-working men who bought one and build one with our hard-earned money and instead of wasting it on taking her out on fancy dates and buying her expensive heels
She may be old, blocky and will rattle your bones loose. But for a hauler she'll go just about anywhere anytime in any weather. I put many miles on these. On the road or off of it trailblazing you'll appreciate the simple engineering and control.

And a Big winch ...Like 20.000 LB or bigger
_I would love one!!!_ I r b00m3r, I learned to drive on a WW2 vintage 6X6. So called because 6 gears and 6 wheels. When it was in Granny Low we needed to line up the mirror with a tree or such to make sure we were moving. It probably had enough torque to pull a Sherman out of the mud. It was very handy for hauling firewood out on ancient logging roads.
This is cool...but...I already spent too much on my square body to upgrade. 14b/kingpin 60, 21x44x16.5s, hot small block, super duty 700r4, msd 6a, too much to list. It was also the local bait shop truck, so I kinda have to keep it around
I joined the military in 2001, I was an 88M which is a transport operator. My unit still had dozens of these things in the motor pool. I will say that as far as handling rough terrain they are awesome, but probably the worst drive ever. I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure they’re all manual transmission as well, at least all of ours were. The 5 ton was much better.

I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure they’re all manual transmission as well, at least all of ours were. The 5 ton was much better.
This thing would pull a ford, Chevy, or dodge without issues
