Deuce Frames Chopped To Bits on 'Junkyard Wars'...

Hi List...

If any of you caught tonight's episode of Junkyard Wars on TLC, did
you spot the 2 MVs?

The task was to build monster trucks, and BOTH the teams started with
deuce frames. You could clearly see the frames, differentials, twin
air tanks, and ND tires. In one shot at 28 minutes after the hour,
they panned the whole chassis and no doubt about it, it was a modern
deuce complete with dual rear axles and stripped cab.

The shame is that ONE of the frames still had the cab on it, and I
THINK it looked like one of the older WWII deuce cabs with no doors,
but just the rounded cut-outs. I'm not positive about this.
