I believe that these modified trucks are used off-road in the rock-crawling
sport. No DMV involvement, and no concern for the logical points which you
bring out, such as load capacity, etc.

I'll buy tighter turning radius, and the coolness of driving a one off.
but less drag? better angles? Missing 3-4 feet will change little when
lining up a truck for parking.
I guess what really bothers me is that a Deuce is USEFUL. You can carry a
pickup in it, or boxes of goods, or a bunch of people dressed up for a
celebration. The vehicle in this thread can't. It can carry a bed. If you
put a bed of some sort in it then that bed can carry a pickup, or boxed
goods, or.....
But that's just my 02¢. I like different vehicles, but if I had the money
to modify a Deuce I'd rather rebuild it as Tom did his. Nothing like a '
sleeper ' going up a steep grade at 80 MPH. :}
