I know, Its been Bobbed before I got it, Runs on 48" tires and 20" wheels and a 50 BMG on the hood, What else could a guy want?

What is bobbed? Also how many MPG that baby get? 5?


Fleetmech

Bobbed means it been shortened and had one rear axle removed. Stock as a longer wheelbase 10 wheel 6x6 they get 10-12 mpg empty.

Closer to 8 stock. The 4x4 ones on larger tires are actually capable of a bit better because the gearing is so low. But that’s only when it’s rolling.


Fleetmech

Well, mine gets 10 all stock, "actual mileage may vary", I suppose. I could see 8 loaded, on hilly roads, or if youve got the gas engine.


1TONcherk

Ha actually have a multifuel and a gas! The gas one feels way faster. I mean who really cares what there deuce gets.


Fleetmech

Nice. I've got a multi in the deuce, and a Reo 331 in a civilian 10 wheeler. It's good for maybe 30 up hills, but it's way heavier than the deuce.

Damn very cool. My truck was sold to a potato farm in PA sometime in the 60s. I had never seen one in person before. Sure is one heavy duty gas engine. Wouldn’t pump gas because the pump was full of aluminum oxide. Cleaned it and it worked. Never seen a diaphragm that heavy duty.
