Perhaps, but these newer photos show a deuce on super singles with a few (
4? ) feet cut off. Again, why? You could pull the bed off an M35, install
singles and have more room to work with on the bed/whatever.
With the shorter frame you might be able to make a U-turn where others
couldn't but..
I'm just curious why one might wish to chop a Deuce down like this. Power
would be the same, the DMV would still consider it to be whatever it was
before, and it would haul/carry less.
So: Would this be just an exercise in style?
Paul
