Here's Our Truck with It's New Shop Van
I drove all the way to Northeast Pennsylvania and back to remove the 12 foot bed and have this shop van installed. WE would like to thank Kublos in Brackney, PA for doing this for us. They too are wonderful people to work with.

The Deuce Now Has A Place For An Extra Fuel Tank
As a result of swapping the bed for the van a space for an extra fuel tank was created. This required a little extra work and ingenuity. After the work was completed it looked very professional. Anyone planning such a modification needs to plan on at least three days of hard work to get everything to fit correctly. Also, expect a few knocked and bleeding knuckles after the work is done too. Superlatives may or may not be required..... |
The Passenger Side
The electrical connections are difficult to see by the back of the cab. No worry, all of it needs to be replaced anyway. The toughest part so far has been understanding how the wiring is routed in the van. When the time comes the wiring will be updated and custom fitted to the unique requirements our family will have for the truck. |

Another Side View
Looking carefully you can see the eight ball on the passenger door. This is actually the old bridge weight system used by the military before the weight placards became common. I just call it always being behind the eight ball;). |
Now We Have The Fuel Tank Installed
This is the afternoon the second fuel tank was installed. Note the tank is slightly higher in the rear than the front. This was done to help with what is called outage or expansion room. It is never a good idea to top off fuel in a vehicle because the fuel will expand as it warms up. To help avert this the tank was installed with about five degrees lift in the rear to help compensate for the fuel expansion.

We Also Sell Police Interceptors! This One Is My Daily Driver.
This is my daily driver. I have never enjoyed such a well mannered vehicle as this one. It truly is a remarkably well engineered automobile. It is also a purebred racing machine as well. The wonderful handling and quiet ride belies it's true intent. This car has a roll cage built in from the factory, dual exhaust with cross-over to add extra horsepower, an engine that is very responsive as well as anti-lock brakes, cruise control, tilt steering, power door locks, power mirrors, 134A air conditioning, stereo CD player and a nice cloth interior. I've added a CB, weather scanner and a cell phone antenna extension to the car. At 75 mph using cruise she gets about 26 mpg. |
We Definitely Enjoy Family Time!
This is Nick enjoying some quality Daddy time! We love doing many things together. This is truly one of my favorite photos. Unlike many corporate entities, we place a high value on family time. When this occurs and our business is temporarily closed, we ask you to please understand. It is important to us to ensure the next generation in our family is well rooted in tradition and identity so he can pass these values we hold dear to his children as well. We feel obligated to not only him, but to his generation to pass along a society that is stronger and more closely knit than the one we live in today. We hope you feel the same way and want to do the same for your family too.

The Deuce Is Handy With Yard Projects!
The neighborhood was in "shock and awe" when they witnessed this! Yes ladies and gentlemen, this truck can do yardwork too! This truck is very powerful! I have been working for years to get rid of these overgrown bushes in my back yard. In less than ten minutes this truck did the job! It also helped clear off all the remaining leftover twigs too. Plus, after loading up the trailer with the debris, we were off to the dump and the yard looked wonderful! |
